Amazon Jungle Expedition from Iquitos: Bora and Yagua
From €220 per person
See availability →An Amazon jungle expedition from Iquitos in two days: Bora and Yagua communities, an overnight lodge, sunrise birdwatching, a dolphin search by canoe and a beach swim.
This Amazon jungle expedition from Iquitos is a quick overnight trip with two native communities on the route. After a hotel pick-up, you board a boat at Bellavista Nanay and sail the Nanay River, then turn into its tributary the Momón to meet the Bora community and watch their traditional dances.
A boat ride of an hour and a half along the Amazon leads to the lodge on its right bank, with a private bathroom and shower in your room. After lunch there is a botanical walk among tall trees and medicinal plants, then a rescue centre with monkeys, anacondas and macaws. The sunset comes before dinner, and afterwards the guide leads a walk in the dark for tarantulas and the sounds of animals and insects.
The next morning you rise early for sunrise and the birds of the basin. A traditional canoe then goes in search of gray and pink dolphins, and you can swim at the beaches along the river. The last visit is to the Yagua tribe, to join their dances and see their blowguns and hunting tools. After lunch the boat returns to Iquitos, with a transfer to the office or your hotel in the evening.
