See availability →This Monkey Island tour from Iquitos fills a day with a market stop, a Yagua community, rescued wildlife, sugarcane tasting and a lunch served on the boat.
On this Monkey Island tour from Iquitos the day begins at the Bellavista Nanay port, with a stroll through its market to see Amazonian produce before boarding. The boat follows the Nanay River to its meeting with the Amazon, and with a bit of luck grey and pink river dolphins appear on the way.
You then visit a Yagua community to hear about its traditions, crafts and history, watch a cultural demonstration and try the blowgun. A wildlife conservation area explains why protecting Amazonian species matters, and a traditional lunch is served on board among the rivers and rainforest.
- Yagua community, with the blowgun
- Fundo Pedrito, for paiche, piranhas, caimans and the giant Victoria amazonica water lily
- El Encanto de Roni, a sugarcane mill with regional specialities to taste
