Day 1
We will pick you up from your accommodation in Iquitos and, without wasting time, we will go to the port of Bellavista to board a boat that will take us to the accommodation in the jungle. Along the way we will make a stop at the crossing between the Amazon River and the Nanay to discover the fauna that inhabits these waters. Here we can see the first piranhas!

After leaving our suitcases and regaining our strength with a delicious lunch, we will head to one of the towns that inhabit this leafy place. We will learn about the lifestyle that the farmers of the area lead and about the medicinal plants they use and their healing values.

After returning to the accommodation and enjoying dinner, we will offer you the possibility of taking a night walk.

We will start the day with a visit to Neyser Island to see its famous serpentarium. In addition to these reptiles, we will also have the opportunity to see other animals such as anteaters and sloths, monkeys or turtles. And during the return trip we will try to spot the pink Amazon dolphins.

In the afternoon, we will go to a butterfly farm to see first-hand their entire metamorphosis process.
