Amazon + Itaya Rivers Boat Tour
Explore the Jungle
At the scheduled time the group will convene at the Iquitos pier, before continuing on to the Amazon River to explore the nature that surrounds this northern Peruvian city. Are you ready?
You'll board a traditional boat and take a trip down the confluence of the Amazon and Itaya rivers. During the tour, you'll discover all about these river channels, while observing the most amazing flora and fauna that inhabit this area.
To get to know what is truly behind this ecosystem, you'll take a visit to an animal breeder, where you'll see lizards, fish like piranhas and paiches, turtles, and the main species of flowers in the Amazon, the Victoria Amazonica. After, you'll make your way towards a viewpoint from which you'll be able to take a spectacular view of all the different rivers.
The tour will end with a visit to the Amazonian snake room, a natural sanctuary where snakes of different sizes and types are bred. Moreover, you'll learn all about the life of these reptiles, one of the most feared animals in the whole Peruvian jungle.
Finally, you'll return to the point where your tour began by taking another boat trip back down the Amazon and Itaya rivers after a tour of between 5 and 6 hours.
