About this tour

Embark on a 5-day, 4-night Amazon ecotourism expedition in the Yarapa River, one of the most pristine and biodiverse regions near Iquitos.

This extended journey is designed for travelers seeking a complete immersion into the rainforest, combining wildlife encounters, traditional knowledge, cultural exchange, and a unique wilderness camping experience.

Navigate the Amazon and Yarapa River by motorboat in search of pink and gray river dolphins, explore remote waterways, and hike through dense rainforest guided by local experts. Along the way, you will learn about medicinal plants, ancient tree knowledge, and how local communities understand and interact with the forest.

Rise early on Day 3 for a sunrise jungle hike, where you may observe howler monkeys and other active wildlife, and discover how guides identify animal tracks and the pathways used by elusive predators such as jaguars.

As night falls, the Amazon transforms. Experience a night jungle walk, listen to the sounds of the forest, and paddle silently during a canoe excursion through an oxbow lake, where you may spot caimans and occasionally anacondas.

Each evening, gather for storytelling sessions, where your guide shares Amazonian myths, legends, and ancestral knowledge, creating a deeper connection to the environment.

On your fourth night, venture deeper into the forest for a camping experience in the wild. Enjoy dinner under the open sky, surrounded by the sounds of nature, followed by a night excursion that reveals the rainforest in its most authentic form.

Conclude your journey with a visit to an indigenous community, engaging in a genuine cross-cultural experience that includes traditions, music, dance, and local craftsmanship.

This is not just a tour—it is a complete Amazon expedition rooted in ecotourism, authenticity, and connection.
