From €108 per person
See availability →An Iquitos Amazon day tour of about eight hours: hotel pick-up, the Nanay and Amazon rivers, dolphins, monkeys, a jungle walk and the giant Lupuna tree, lunch included.
This Iquitos Amazon day tour begins with a hotel pick-up and a first stop at Bellavista Nanay port, where grilled suri, a kind of larva, sizzles on the barbecues. From there the boat heads up the Nanay River until it reaches the Amazon, at the spot where the waters join.
While the boat moves along the biggest river on Earth, the guide recounts the legends and tales of the region. Dolphins, gray or pink, may break the surface beside the boat.
The day then moves into the forest for a botanical walk. The guide points out medicinal plants and explains what indigenous communities have done with them over the centuries, while birds call overhead. Along the way you meet monkeys and stop in front of the Lupuna, a giant Amazonian tree.
