Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge 6 days / 5 nights

DAY 01: IQUITOS/LODGE

We begin our Peruvian jungle adventure at the Iquitos City Airport. From there we will journey 60 miles to the town of Nauta, the first town ship founded by the Spanish at the Marañón River. The trip to Nauta takes about an hour and a half.

In Nauta, we will visit theSapiSapi pond where we can see species such as the paiche (largest Amazonian fish), arawana, quelonios (taricaya, charapa), and regional turtle, as well as a brief story at the Centenary Square.

From Nauta, we will board our boats to Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge; we will receive a warm welcome with a seasonal fruit drink, and a presentation in the Kukama Kukamiria language by a tribe member. You will be invited to go to your rooms to leave luggage and then have lunch. In the afternoon we will go for a walk where we will identify flora and fauna in the forest surrounding the Lodge. We will return at night to try to locate the demdrobates, tiny poison-dart frogs characterized by their bright colors. We will return to the Lodge for some time to relax before dinner.

DAY 02: PACAYA SAMIRIA NATIONAL RESERVE/LODGE

After breakfast we will go to the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve to an area called “NautaCaño”

.During our excursion we will search for pink and gray dolphins near the gorge of the same name. We will also be immersed in the wide variety of flora and fauna the reserve offers. The first thing that will call your attention is how the river water perfectly reflects the sky, clouds, vegetation and large trees along the river banks. Visitors will have the sensation of sailing between endless mirrors, which is why Pacaya Samiria is also known as “the forest of mirrors”.

We will also go for a walk through the flooded forests, where we will try to see some primates and sloths. During the journey we can also observe a variety of birds and the traditional Amazonian subsistence fishing practice.
