About this tour

Discover the heart of the Peruvian Amazon with this immersive 2-day, 1-night ecotourism experience in the Yarapa River, one of the most biodiverse regions near Iquitos.

This carefully designed program blends wildlife exploration, jungle adventure, and cultural connection, guided by local experts who understand the rhythms of the forest.

Travel by motorboat into the calm waters of the Yarapa River, where you will search for pink and gray river dolphins, navigate through lush rainforest ecosystems, and experience the Amazon both by day and night. Enjoy jungle hikes, canoe excursions, birdwatching at sunrise, and even the opportunity for a safe and refreshing river swim.

Spend the night in a comfortable Amazon lodge, surrounded by the sounds of nature, and enjoy fresh, organic meals prepared with local ingredients.

On the second day, deepen your understanding of Amazonian life with a visit to a nearby indigenous community, where you will learn about traditions, music, dances, and local craftsmanship in a genuine cross-cultural experience.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a balanced combination of adventure, wildlife, and cultural immersion, all within a short timeframe.
