Day 1: Arrival in Iquitos

Arrive to the Amazon city of Iquitos: Our crew will be expecting your arrival at the airport, then transfer all together in our comfortable private vehicle. We will start you off with a lunchbox as we begin a panoramic tour of Iquitos city. After the tour we will travel over paved road to the city of Nauta, 95 kilometers away. Nauta is literally the "end of the road" where you will embark on the Delfin. Along the way, you will see vibrant "terra firma" (non-flooded forest) and various aspects of daily jungle life.

 

Day 2: Fundo Casual - Yanayacu Pucate

The walk at Fundo Casual jungle trail will take you deep into the rainforest on “Terra Firma” (non-flooded  forest)  where  your  guide  will  point  out  the  dynamic  creatures  and  vegetation  of  the Amazon. Be sure to keep an attentive eye open for spotting surprises!

 

We will start cruising through the Yanayacu and  Pucate  Rivers,  peeking  into  different creeks   and   lagoons.   This   is   one   of   the   best   preserved   and   protected   zones   of the  Pacaya  Samiria  National  Reserve.  Your  guide will use his expert eye to pinpoint all the biodiversity of this region. You will even have the opportunity to swim in the jungle river along with the famous pink dolphins!
