From €49 per person
See availability →An Amazon River day trip from Iquitos with hotel transfers: the meeting of the Nanay and Amazon, a Yagua community, a sugarcane press, lunch at a lodge and a wildlife rescue center.
Not everyone wants to sleep in the jungle, and this Amazon River day trip from Iquitos is made for that. It runs for about eight hours, with pickup and drop-off at your hotel, and shows the river without a night away. From the Bellavista Nanay pier you first stop where the Nanay meets the Amazon, and the two waters keep different colours side by side.
The boat then sails downstream for about an hour and twenty minutes to the activity site. A short walk introduces some medicinal plants. In the Yagua community you hear about their dances, their customs and the use of the blowgun, and at a sugarcane press you taste fresh cane juice and exotic jungle drinks.
- Self-service lunch at Cabaña Amazon Lodge: fish, palm heart salad and jungle fruits
- A wildlife rescue center with anacondas, sloths, turtles and monkeys
- Pink and grey dolphins on the way back, and sunset on the water
