(SUNDAY) DAY 01: IQUITOS - NAUTA - MARAÑON RIVER - NAUTA CAÑO

Upon your arrival at the airport, we'll be waiting to begin your adventure. We'll take a city tour of Iquitos, a colorful, vibrant city with a captivating past. On this tour, you'll see the city's most iconic attractions.

Next, we'll travel by private vehicle to the city of Nauta, the historic river port where we'll embark. Upon arrival in Nauta (about two hours from Iquitos), we'll board La Perla, and our staff will escort you to your cabin, which we've specially equipped with all the comforts you need for a truly enjoyable trip.

The boat will begin its journey along the Marañón River. At this point, the naturalist guides will present the itinerary, the routes to be followed, and the scheduled activities. And best of all: they will begin to introduce us to the wonderful world of Amazonian wildlife. Pay attention to their advice and recommendations, and keep in mind that if you have any questions, our guides will always be available to assist you.

Following the onboard presentation, we will have a welcome lunch, your first taste of the delights of regional cuisine. The menu offers several options, including a vegetarian alternative. If you have any special requests, please let our crew know in advance so we can accommodate them.

Before dinner, we will begin a nighttime boat excursion to the Nauta Caño area, in search of animals that can only be seen when the sun goes down: caimans, bats, frogs, tarantulas and other species that populate the lush forest of our jungle.

After this first immersion in the jungle world, we will return to the boat to enjoy dinner, rest and recover our energy.

(MONDAY) DAY 02: PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE - YANAYACU DE PUCATE - SAN REGIS - AMAZONIAN NATURAL PARK

In the morning, we'll have a fun picnic breakfast on the banks of the Yanayacu River in Pucate, one of the best-protected and preserved areas of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. This area is often visited by pink river dolphins.

On our return to La Perla, we will have lunch in the ship's dining room and, after a short break, the guides will give a talk on Amazonian Philosophy.

Later, we will meet with the shaman of the San Regis community, a wise elder of the native community who will share with us his knowledge of ancestral rituals, medicinal plants, and the Amazonian worldview. Our guides will act as interpreters should you wish to ask the shaman questions or make comments. Following this authentic experience of reflection and spiritual exploration, we will continue with a tree-planting ceremony, as a contribution to environmental stewardship.

Back on the boat, you can relax with live music while we wait for dinner. After lunch, the guides will tell us about the activities for the following day.

(TUESDAY) DAY 03: PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE - AMAZONIAN NATURAL PARK - SHIRIYACU

The early morning hours have a special charm for experiencing the rainforest and offer a unique opportunity for wildlife viewing. Therefore, this morning you also have a boat excursion planned before breakfast. This time, the destination is the Iquitos Ravine, a prime area for observing numerous endemic species. Upon returning to the boat, a buffet breakfast will be served.

After breakfast, we will begin a hike through the jungle to reach the area of the hanging bridges, a set of structures stretched high in the trees that will allow you to walk among the leafy canopies and admire the riches of the jungle from a unique and elevated perspective.

Before noon, we will return to the ship for lunch on board and afterwards we will have some free time before the next departure.

Later, we'll be ready for the boat expedition to Shiriyacu Creek. There, we'll look for a suitable spot for piranha fishing using local equipment and techniques. This area is also very popular for observing pink river dolphins.

Upon returning to the ship, we can relax even more with live music and comfort ourselves with a delicious dinner on board.

(WEDNESDAY) DAY 04: NAUTA - AMAZON RIVER - YACAPANA RAVINE - AIRPORT

Very early we will leave by boat towards the Gasparito Ravine, it is a very popular area for bird and primate watching.

After breakfast, the bartender will be waiting for us for a demonstration of the Peruvian cocktail, the Pisco Sour, Peru's emblematic drink, before we disembark. On the way to the airport, we'll visit the River Mammal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (Amazon Forever Organization) where biologists and volunteers care for manatees, an endangered species that the authorities have rescued.

We will learn how manatees are treated and prepared for their reintroduction to their natural habitat. We will also see other rescued animals. Jungle Experiences actively collaborates with this organization and research center. We invite you to join us and contribute to this worthy cause.
