About this activity
Make the rainforest home on this 3-day, 2-night adventure from Iquitos. Cruise deep into the Amazon to our family-owned lodge on the Yanayacu River, spotting pink dolphins along the way. Visit Fundo Pedrito to see capybaras, caimans, and giant arapaima, tour a rescue center for monkeys and sloths, and stand beneath the sacred Ceiba tree.
Two nights mean two guided night walks and a sunrise birding cruise. Meet the Yagua people, cast for piranha, and learn the medicinal-plant traditions of Yanayacu Timicuro village. Day three saves the farewell for Monkey Island and a last dolphin watch on the cruise home.
