Plunge into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon on a private 4-day expedition from Iquitos — night caimans, pink river dolphins, giant Victoria lilies, and indigenous communities. Bucket-list biodiversity at its most raw and extraordinary.
What to expect
Embark by private motorised skiff deep into Pacaya-Samiria reserve buffer zones, where your expert naturalist guide reads the jungle like a map. Spot howler monkeys, macaws, and anacondas on guided night walks and early-morning river surveys. Overnight at a comfortable jungle lodge, dining on Amazonian cuisine as the rainforest chorus rises around you. Dawn canoeing through flooded forest ceilings of Victoria amazonica lilies is simply unforgettable.
Good to know
This is a multi-day excursion requiring advance co-ordination with your cruise line for port re-boarding arrangements. Pre-book at least 60 days ahead. Lightweight long sleeves, insect repellent, and waterproof bags essential. Transfers from Iquitos port included.
