About this activity

Explore the Amazon with expert English-speaking guide Marlon on this immersive adventure from Iquitos. Begin at the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly House and Animal Rescue Center, an extraordinary sanctuary dedicated to exotic Amazonian butterflies and rescued local wildlife.

Then travel by boat up the Amazon River to witness the breathtaking Confluence of the Three Rivers, where the Amazon, Nanay, and Itaya Rivers meet keeping watch for pink river dolphins along the way.

Continue to the Comunidad de Independencia, where you'll visit the ancient 250-year-old Lupuna tree, the largest in the Peruvian Amazon, and connect with the spiritual heart of the jungle by asking Mother Jungle for the energy of Mother Ayahuasca.

Take in sweeping views of the Amazon from the local lookout and refresh yourself with a fresh coconut water. This tour blends river life, Indigenous traditions, and Amazon biodiversity into one unforgettable experience.
