Day 1: Welcome to the Amazon Adventure
We will pick you up directly from
your hotel or from the Iquitos airport and take you to the charming Puerto
Santa Clara. From there, we will board a boat that will take us to El Manatí, a
luxurious cruise just a few minutes away by water.
Upon arrival, you`ll be welcomed
with a delicious snack as you settle into your cabin. We`ll navigate to an
exclusive area of the jungle, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the
river and connect with nature in its purest form.
As night falls, we`ll embark on an
exciting boat excursion along the Nanay River. We`ll search for nocturnal
wildlife and marvel at the stunning Amazon under a blanket of stars. We`ll end
the day with a delightful dinner on board.
Day 2: Encounter with Nature and Local Culture
Start your morning with a fresh,
delicious breakfast while the cruise heads towards Padre Cocha. We will visit
the Pilpintuwasi rescue center, home to rescued animals and a spectacular
butterfly house. Here, you can stroll around and learn about the local
biodiversity.
Next, we`ll immerse ourselves in
the culture of the Kukama Kukamiria community, an indigenous group with a rich
cultural heritage. You’ll have the chance to interact with the locals, learn
about their traditions, and admire their unique way of life. Afterwards, we’ll
return to the cruise for a traditional lunch.
The afternoon is yours to relax or
choose from activities like kayaking or paddleboarding on the river. In the
evening, if conditions permit, we`ll enjoy a beach bonfire where we`ll hear
fascinating Amazonian stories and legends. Dinner will be on board, followed by
an optional fun night with karaoke, board games, or exotic cocktail tasting.
Day 3: Exploration in the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve
Wake up to breakfast on board,
surrounded by stunning views of the Amazon rainforest. We`ll navigate to the
Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, a biodiversity gem spanning over 58,000
hectares. Here, we`ll explore its varied flora and fauna, including white sand
forests and floodable forests by the black waters of the Nanay River.
After lunch on the cruise and a
well-deserved rest, you`ll have the opportunity to enjoy activities like
kayaking on the Tarapoto lagoons, where you`ll have privileged views of the
incredible jungle sunset. Dinner will be on the cruise, and the evening will
continue with more optional fun.
Day 4: Farewell to the Amazon Rainforest
Our final breakfast on board will
be a chance to once again admire the beauty of the Amazon rainforest as we
navigate back to Puerto Santa Clara. From there, we will transfer you to the
Iquitos airport or to your hotel in the city center, concluding this
unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Amazon.
