Private Amazon River Wildlife & Jungle Immersion — 4 Days

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.
