See availability →A 2-day Iquitos jungle tour with a night at Maniti Eco-Lodge: Monkey Island, fishing, a dolphin session and night and dawn hikes, for travellers with little time.
This 2-day Iquitos jungle tour suits anyone who wants a taste of the Amazon without a long trip. You drive to the port of Bellavista Nanay, then travel by boat for about two hours down the river, and the banks often reveal caimans, turtles, herons, snakes and pink river dolphins.
The first stop is Monkey Island, a small island sheltering many monkeys. Capuchins, tamarins and spider monkeys are among the residents, and you also get close to anacondas, boas and the rare mata-mata turtle. The afternoon is for fishing from the boat, with piranha and catfish as targets, followed by a session watching dolphins from the camp. With luck, you may even swim with the dolphins in the main river. At night, a hike looks for lizards, snakes and spiders.
On the second day, an early walk in the forest finds monkeys and birds and teaches you about plants. On the way back to Iquitos you visit a local native tribe and see the Victoria regia, the giant water lily that is the biggest freshwater plant on Earth.
