More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river opens like a moving wall of green as the skiff slips away from Iquitos and toward Ceiba Tops Luxury Lodge—water reflecting leaves, a distant parrot calling overhead. On arrival, the lodge sits above seasonal floodplain, wood walkways connecting rooms and trails that thread into primary forest dominated by towering ceiba and kapok trees.

Bring insect protection
Use DEET or picaridin repellent and a permethrin-treated long-sleeve for afternoon and evening hikes to reduce mosquito bites.
