Four days of river travel, dawn birding, night jungle walks and cultural visits from Iquitos. This private all-inclusive expedition mixes wildlife viewing with community encounters along the Amazon and Nanay rivers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river pushes you away from the city: wooden piers give way to endless water, and the boat’s wake draws a fresh line across the Amazon as toucans call from the canopy. Over the next four days you move between river and trail—small villages, a protective lupuna tree that rises like a green column, and night walks where insects tune the dark.

Wildlife
History
This stretch of the Amazon around Iquitos grew as a river-trade corridor in the rubber boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; communities still preserve riverine crafts and music.
Conservation
Seasonal river levels and tourism pressure require careful waste management; choose operators who limit single-use plastics and support local community programs.
