See availability →This Iquitos Amazon river tour is a six-hour boat trip that links the city's three rivers with a visit to a Kukama community and a butterfly farm, with a bilingual guide.
This Iquitos Amazon river tour starts on the water. From the pier at the Iquitos Boulevard, the boat follows the three rivers that wrap around the city, the Itaya, the Amazon and the Nanay, so you see the city from a different side. Out on the Amazon, dolphins and red buffaloes may swim alongside the boat.
Past the city, the boat stops at a Kukama community. Here you meet the people who live there, watch their dances and hear about their customs and their culture.
- Kukama community, for dances, customs and local culture
- Father Cocha, with a walk along the shore and the unusual story of its founder
- Pilpintuwasi, a butterfly farm where you follow the life cycles and breeding of the butterflies
The whole outing takes about six hours and ends with the boat ride back to the Boulevard. A guide who speaks both Spanish and English comes along. Hotel transfers, lunch and entrance tickets are not included, so plan for those separately. The tour is not suited to children under 5, pregnant women, people over 70 or people with mobility impairments.
