Full-Day Jungle Tour from Iquitos: Itaya River and Yagua
From €119 per person
See availability →A full-day jungle tour from Iquitos by boat: the Itaya River and the Amazon, giant Victoria Regia lilies, rainforest animals, a canoe on Shanshococha Lagoon and a Yagua community.
This full-day jungle tour from Iquitos packs river, lagoon, wildlife and culture into about ten hours. A short walk from the hotel pickup leads to the dock, where a boat takes the Itaya River and joins the Amazon, with your guide explaining the region and a chance of pink and grey dolphins.
The first stop is a natural reserve with enormous Victoria Regia lilies floating on the water, and you get to feed paiches, alligators and piranhas. A stretch of jungle follows, with toucans, macaws, monkeys and sloths among the animals you may meet.
After a traditional lunch at the lodge, you paddle quietly across Shanshococha Lagoon, watching the wildlife of the Amazon's lakes. The day closes in a Yagua community, to see how people live there, what they wear and the crafts they make by hand, before the boat returns to Iquitos.
