Day by day itinerary

1. 1amazon jungle excursions⌄

   Departure at 8:30 a.m. Day 1: Transfer from the airport or hotel to the town of Nauta. There, we board a boat and navigate the Marañón River to its confluence with the Ucayali River—the starting point of the mighty Amazon River and a prime spot for sighting gray and pink dolphins. We continue navigating to our lodge, located in the buffer zone of the Yarapa River, right at its mouth. After lunch and a brief rest, we set out on a jungle hike to observe monkeys, sloths, and various birds in their natural habitat. We return to the lodge and, after dinner, head out on a boat excursion along the Yarapa River to spot giant frogs, large tarantulas, alligators, and other nocturnal wildlife; with any luck, we might even see a jaguar on the riverbanks.

   5:00 a.m.: We will head out onto the river to witness the Amazonian sunrise and observe the birdlife—including the *shansho* or hoatzin (*Opisthocomus hoazin*), a fascinating, primitive Amazonian bird that retains unique prehistoric traits—as they begin a new day of survival. Afterward, we will swim alongside pink dolphins in their natural habitat. Finally, we will go piranha fishing before returning to the lodge for lunch and to prepare for the journey back to the town of Nauta. En route, we will visit Puerto San Miguel, a village inhabited by members of Amazonian communities; we will observe their daily activities and, if you wish, have the opportunity to purchase handicrafts made as part of their everyday lives—a way to support the community. Upon arrival in Nauta, we will take our private vehicle directly to the city of Iquitos, where we will head to the airport or your hotel to say our goodbyes and wish you a pleasant journey and a speedy return. The tour concludes at 6:00 p.m.
