5-Day Amazon Wildlife Tour with Pink Dolphins and Jungle Camping

At 7:30 am, we leave for the town of Nauta by highway in a private car. The ride takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, passing many interesting places, small villages and communities, nature, and a bridge over the Itaya River.

From Nauta, we take a 2-hour boat ride by peque-peque to our lodge. During this journey, we will see the union of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers, where we can appreciate the birth of the majestic Amazon River. Here, depending on the season, we may observe the mystical pink dolphins of the Amazon.

Next, we pass the small town of Puerto Miguel and continue to the union of the Yarapa and Cumaceba creeks, where our lodge is located.

Upon arrival, we show you to your accommodation and give you a full tour of the lodge.

You will enjoy a typical lunch with fruits of the region, according to the season.

In the evening, we take a canoe ride on the Cumaceba Creek for a chance to observe species of birds, monkeys, and the funny and curious sloths.

We return to the lodge for a delicious dinner.

After dinner, we take a night walk in the Amazon jungle to look for insects, batrachians, spiders, tarantulas, and species of frogs.

After breakfast, we take a walk in the primary jungle for another opportunity to see birds, monkeys, and other wildlife such as butterflies, termites, and leaf-cutter ants.

We will also look for medicinal plants, and your guide will explain the importance and different uses of these plants. For added fun, you can swing on the lianas, climb the roots and branches of giant trees, and drink water stored inside a branch of a tree.

At midday, we enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by our excellent cook.

In the afternoon, we will look for and learn about the different food plants of the region, including the tropical fruit called Hutto.

After our delicious dinner at the lodge, we take a canoe ride to find the impressive caimans.

Depending on our luck, our guide will catch a small-sized caiman and show you how to hold it safely.

You can enjoy holding the reptile for a few minutes before the guide releases it back into the water.

We have an early breakfast before going out by boat and spending a full day cruising the lakes and creeks, looking for wildlife such as monkeys, birds, snakes, and sloths.

Lunch will be served deep in the jungle before returning to our lodge in the afternoon.

After dinner, our guide will demonstrate how to fish with a typical spear from the Loreto Region.

We will also learn to identify the sounds of insects and nocturnal birds.

After breakfast, our native bilingual guide from the area will give us a lesson on survival in the Amazon jungle.

Those who wish may experience a full day of camping in tents away from the lodge in the wild jungle. Those who prefer to stay at the lodge may enjoy other activities such as swimming, fishing, paddling on the boat, viewing the Amazon sunset, or visiting the town of Puerto Miguel to learn about the customs and traditions of its inhabitants.

With an early start to the day, we take a canoe ride at 6 am to look for different species of birds and fish for piranhas and other kinds of fish.

We return to the lodge for breakfast and later visit a lake to see one of the great aquatic plants of the Amazon, the giant water lily pads.

After lunch at the lodge, we return to Nauta by boat and then continue back to Iquitos by car.

Our service includes transfer to your hotel or the airport.
