ITINERARY DAY I: IQUITOS/LODGE We begin our Peruvian jungle adventure at the Iquitos City Airport. From there we will move to the Manatee Rescue Center, a refuge where volunteers and biologists will teach us about the work they do to preserve this endangered species.

From here we will journey 60 miles to the town of Nauta, the first town ship founded by the Spanish at the Marañón River. The trip to Nauta takes about an hour and a half.

In Nauta, we will visit the SapiSapi pond where we can see species such as the paiche (largest Amazonian fish), arawana, quelonios (taricaya, charapa), and regional turtle, as well as a brief story at the Centenary Square.

From Nauta, we will board Hatuchay Hotel boats to Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge; we will receive a warm welcome with a seasonal fruit drink, and a presentation in the Kukama Kukamiria language by a tribe member. You will be invited to go to your rooms to leave luggage and then have lunch. In the afternoon we will go for awalk where we will identify flora and fauna in the forest surrounding the Lodge. We will return at night to try to locate the demdrobates, tiny poison-dart frogs characterized by their bright colors. We will return to the Lodge for some time to relax before dinner.

DAY II: PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE/LODGE After breakfast we will go to the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, with a cold lunch on board, to an area called “Nauta Caño”. During our excursion we will search for pink and gray freshwater dolphins near the brook of the same name. We will also be immersed in the wide variety of flora and fauna the reserve offers. The first thing that will call your attention is how the river water perfectly reflects the sky, clouds, vegetation and large trees along the river banks. Visitors will have the sensation of sailing between endless mirrors, which is why Pacaya Samiria is also known as “the forest of mirrors”.

We will also go for a walk through the flooded forests, where we will try to see some primates and sloths.

During the journey we can also observe a variety of birds and the traditional Amazonian subsistence fishing practice.

Next, we will return to the Lodge to visit the women’s crafts center (seasonal) of the San Jorge community, known for their work with natural Chambira fiber and Wingo or pumpkin carving. You will have down time, followed by dinner.

After dinner a guide will invite us to move to a different space to share myths and legends of the Peruvian Amazon.

DAY III: HIKING IN HIGH RESTINGA /LODGE After breakfast we will go hiking through the jungle where we can see a variety of timber-yielding trees and birds native to this forest. We will also try to see some primates and mammals as we journey toward a rustic camp to rest in hammocks. Cold lunch. If you desire, enjoy the refreshing water of a high brook, where the guide will explain the importance of its existence and the role it plays in the ecosystem. We will return to the Lodge around noon to rest and get ready to come back to Iquitos.
