From €385 per person
See availability →A 3-day Amazon wildlife tour from Iquitos by boat to a jungle lodge: dolphins, a butterfly farm, night spotting of tarantulas and snakes, piranha fishing and a visit to the Yahuas.
This 3-day Amazon wildlife tour from Iquitos opens with a pickup at the airport and a transfer to the Port of Nanay, where you board a boat. It follows the Nanay down to its junction with the Amazon, then spends roughly two and a half hours on the big river before reaching your lodge. You sleep in a double room, and the hammock room is the place to unwind after lunch.
On the first afternoon you tour a butterfly farm and an eco-village on the bank; after dinner, a walk in the dark looks for tarantulas, snakes, insects and birds. Day two begins at sunrise, with herons, eagles and parakeets to spot, then free time at the lodge. After lunch you try fishing for piranhas, and the evening ends with the sunset and traditional Amazonian tales.
- Dolphins on the Amazon and the sights and sounds of the jungle
- A visit to the Yahuas tribe to see how they live
- A botanical walk on the third morning, searching for lianas and learning about medicinal plants
Meals are covered from lunch on the first day to lunch on the last. After checking out you return to Iquitos, and a motorcycle taxi takes you to your hotel or the airport. Tips are not included.
