Pacaya Samiria 3 or 4-Day Tour
3-Day Tour
Day 1
After picking you up from the airport or your hotel in Iquitos, we'll drive to the port of Nauta. There, we'll board a speedboat and begin our journey down the Marañon River. During the trip, we'll see the famous pink dolphins that usually inhabit these waters. Then, we'll enjoy a delicious traditional lunch.
The trip will end at the shores of a campsite located in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Once we set up our tents, we'll get to know the rich ecosystem of the Huaylla Lagoon. Afterwards, we'll have dinner in the middle of nature and then go on a nocturnal trekking route - it's time to look for tarantulas, scorpions, and giant frogs!
The hike will end at the camp, where we'll rest until the next day.
Day 2
We'll get up early to watch the sunrise and try to spot the iguanas and sloths in the area. Afterwards, we'll return to the camp for breakfast. With our batteries well charged, we'll go up in a boat to navigate the Pucate River and observe various species such as monkeys, macaws, or toucans. We'll disembark in the middle of the jungle to camp and have a comforting lunch.
In the afternoon, we'll walk through the jungle towards a lake and learn how to use the medicinal plants! After dinner under the stars, we'll enjoy a night tour by canoe. Finally, we'll return to the camp to rest.
Day 3
On the final day, we'll wake up early and sail down the Yarapa River to see the otters that inhabit the area. The trip will conclude with a good breakfast and lunch in the camping area. We'll also learn some survival techniques.
Afterwards, we'll set out on a jungle hike, and then we'll leave you free time to take a dip in the river. Finally, we'll return to Nauta and from there to Iquitos, where arrival is scheduled at 6 pm.
