Itinerary

The order of the activities might vary depending on the weather conditions and on your arrival time.

Show all / close all

Day 1: Monkey Island Visit + Amazon Jungle Tour

You will either be picked up from your hotel in Iquitos if you arrive a day before the tour starts or at the airport if the tour starts on the same day (it’s important that your flight arrives before 9:00 am). Then, we’ll continue to our local office where you can store your luggage safely.

Afterwards, you will be heading to the port of Iquitos for the boat ride to the lodge. We’ll stop at the Monkey Island (in dry season you‘ll visit the “Fundo Pedrito”, where you can see local plants, alligators, turtles etc.), where endangered species of monkeys are preserved. Watch them eat, play and maybe one of them will want play with you, too!

After having arrived at the lodge, we will walk through the Yanamono Reserve for almost 2 hours. Prepare yourself to see beautiful flora and fauna!

When night falls, especially in the high water season, it’s time for a magical open boat tour on the Amazon River. There won’t be any light or sounds as we will turn off the engine so you can enjoy the impressive sounds of the Amazon jungle. For many of our travelers, this is one of the most incredible moments of the tour.

Meals included: lunch and dinner

Day 2: Local Community Visit + Jungle tour at night

Day 2 of the Amazon tour will begin very early with a boat ride to spot different bird species. Later that day, we‘ll visit an indigenous tribe of the Yaguas community. Here, you will have the opportunity to learn more about their lifestyle, their customs and their traditions. Prepare yourself for a dance with them and a contest with the blow gun.

In the afternoon, you will be part of a small fishing expedition trying to catch some piranha only with a stick and a piece of meat. With some luck, we might see some pink dolphins.

In the evening, we’ll walk in the jungle to witness the charming transformation of the jungle in a nocturnal environment. You’ll see the jungle feels entirely different at night. This is the best time to observe frogs, timid snakes and sloths or tarantulas. Just listen to the magical sounds of insects, birds, cats and owls!

Meals includes: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
