About this tour

Experience one of the most authentic ecotourism adventures in the Peruvian Amazon with this full-day expedition to the pristine Yarapa River, a biodiversity hotspot near Iquitos.

This program has been carefully designed under ecotourism principles, focusing on wildlife observation, low-impact activities, and meaningful interaction with the natural environment.

For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, there will be an opportunity for river swimming in safe areas, allowing you to experience the Amazon in a truly unique and refreshing way.

Throughout the exploration, you will navigate using a small motorboat, ideal for wildlife spotting, and take part in a guided jungle walk, learning about medicinal plants, towering trees, and the ecological importance of the rainforest.

A fresh organic lunch will be served in a natural setting, completing a day designed to balance adventure, education, and environmental respect.

This is a physically engaging, long-duration experience (approx. 13 hours total), recommended for travelers aged 12+ with an adventurous spirit.
