A meticulously crafted private full-day Amazon immersion from Iquitos port — river navigation, primary rainforest trails, wildlife spotting, and a visit to a living indigenous community. The Amazon in one extraordinary day.
What to expect
Depart by private motorised canoe from Iquitos, gliding past river islands and flooded forest to Grand Amazon's secluded riverside lodge. Your naturalist guide leads a forest walk identifying medicinal plants, spotting toucans, and reading animal tracks. A visit to a Bora or Yagua indigenous community reveals ancestral blowpipe traditions, weaving, and ceremonial face-painting. Return for a beautifully prepared Amazonian lunch — paiche fish, hearts of palm, fresh camu-camu juice — before the river journey back.
Good to know
Full-day itinerary: allow 8–9 hours from port; confirm all-aboard time with the ship before booking. Private skiff transfers included. Insect repellent, sunhat, and light rain jacket essential. Book directly via the Grand Amazon website for private group rates.
