About this tour

Step into the living heart of the Amazon with this 3-day, 2-night ecotourism expedition in the Yarapa River, one of the most biodiverse regions near Iquitos.

This extended experience allows you to move beyond sightseeing and into true connection with the rainforest. Guided by local experts, you will explore the Amazon through wildlife encounters, traditional knowledge, and meaningful cultural exchange.

Navigate the calm waters of the Yarapa River in search of pink and gray river dolphins, observe wildlife from a small motorboat, and venture into the forest on guided hikes where you will learn about medicinal plants, ancient uses of trees, and the deep relationship between people and nature.

As night falls, the Amazon transforms. Join a night jungle walk to discover nocturnal wildlife, and later gather for an intimate storytelling session, where local guides share myths, legends, and ancestral knowledge passed down through generations.

Enjoy fresh, organic Amazonian cuisine, stay in a comfortable jungle lodge, and wake up to the sounds of the forest during a magical sunrise birdwatching experience.

On your final day, visit an indigenous community, where you will engage in a genuine cross-cultural experience—learning about traditions, music, dances, and local craftsmanship.

This program is ideal for travelers seeking a deeper, slower, and more meaningful Amazon experience, rooted in ecotourism and authenticity.
