Peruvian Mahogany Tour in Iquitos

The adventure begins with your transfer from the airport or your hotel in Iquitos to our agency, and then to the dock, where we will start an exciting boat journey along the Nanay River until reaching the majestic Amazon River, the largest river in the world by volume.

Our first stop will allow us to witness the confluence of the Nanay, Itaya, and Amazon Rivers, an impressive natural phenomenon. Then, we will visit the indigenous community of the “Kukamas or Yaguas”, where we will be welcomed with traditional dances and songs. Here, you can purchase handmade crafts and share a special moment with the local inhabitants. 

We continue to Fundo Pedrito, a breeding center for Amazonian wildlife where we can feed giant fish such as paiche, observe caimans, anacondas, and the exotic Victoria Regia plant. At midday, we will arrive at Avatar Amazon Lodge & Canopy Park, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch before settling into your cabin. In the afternoon, we will take an excursion to a wildlife reserve in its natural habitat, where monkeys, macaws, sloths, and even the feared anaconda will surprise us with their presence.

After dinner at our cozy bar, we will prepare for a night excursion in the jungle. We will explore its mysterious trails to observe tarantulas, scorpions, praying mantises, and other nocturnal animals while listening to the sounds of nature in its purest state.

We begin the day with an unforgettable sunrise excursion to enjoy the spectacular Amazonian landscape as the sun rises. Then, we will have a birdwatching session, where we can spot unique species in their natural habitat.

After breakfast, we will head to the exciting Avatar Canopy Park, an adventure circuit with platforms at 35 meters high, including zip lines, hanging bridges, and climbing activities. A truly adrenaline-filled experience (maximum allowed weight: 100 kg). Afterwards, you can relax in the lodge’s pool before lunch.

In the afternoon, we will experience piranha fishing, a traditional activity practiced using ancestral techniques. You will also have the opportunity to take a dip in the warm waters of the Amazon River and, during the dry season, enjoy a natural mud treatment on the riverbanks.

At sunset, we will embark on an expedition to observe the legendary pink and gray dolphins, protagonists of many Amazonian legends. In the evening, after a delicious dinner, we will listen to myths and ancestral stories told by our local guides.

We will begin our final day with breakfast at the lodge before setting out on a botanical walk. During the tour, you will learn about the diversity of medicinal plants, fruit trees, and timber species in the region. One of the most impressive highlights will be the gigantic Lupuna tree, a symbol of the Amazon rainforest.

After lunch, we will check out and navigate back along the Amazon River to Iquitos. Estimated arrival in the city is around 3:30 p.m., where this extraordinary Amazon adventure comes to an end.
