Operated by Bamba Travel · Iquitos, Loreto
You arrive in Iquitos at first light and the river welcomes you with low, warm mist that seems to push the boat forward. The lodge sits on stilts above dark water; kerosene lamps hum at dusk while tree frogs start their chorus. Days here are measured in boat rides — narrow channels, broad river bends and oxbow lakes that dare you to look closer.
moderate.
3 days.
Suitable for most fitness levels but expect long boat transfers, humid heat and short hikes requiring basic stamina
Lodges are low‑tech: rooms are lit by kerosene lamps, there is no cell signal near the lodge, and radio links maintain communication with Iquitos.
You can swim in sections of the river where dolphins are present, but touching them is discouraged and interactions are observational rather than physical.
All meals at the lodge and roundtrip transfers from Iquitos airport/hotel to the jungle lodge are included as stated in the itinerary.
Bring basic medications and use insect‑avoidance clothing; the lodge provides first aid kits and English‑speaking guides lead all excursions.
Iquitos served as a rubber‑boom port in the late 19th century and remains the main urban gateway to Loreto’s riverine communities and jungle lodges.
Respect wildlife viewing distances, limit chemical repellent use, and follow guide instructions to reduce disturbance to fragile aquatic and forest habitats.
