Board a private skiff with Delfín's expert Amazon naturalist for an intimate exploration of hidden black-water lakes and remote macaw clay licks deep in the Pacaya-Samiria reserve. Pure, unfiltered Amazonia at its most spectacular.
What to expect
Your skiff slips into the mirror-flat stillness of a black-water oxbow lake just after sunrise, when Giant river otters are most active. Your naturalist identifies over 30 bird species within the first hour — scarlet macaws, hoatzins, and yellow-headed vultures overhead. At the clay lick, hundreds of parrots and macaws descend in a deafening, kaleidoscopic spectacle that no photograph fully captures. The return journey traces channels so narrow the jungle canopy forms a living tunnel above you.
Good to know
Departures from Iquitos, Peru-based itineraries. Confirm your port call and all-aboard time carefully — the clay lick visit is time-sensitive. Lightweight long-sleeve clothing in neutral colours is strongly advised. Book directly via the Delfín website.
