Tour itinerary
todayDAY 1 Transfer to the lodge - Sunset with the pink dolphins
The guide will pick you up at your accommodation or the airport, according to what the group prefers. In case of choosing hotel pick-up, we will be collected at 8:00 AM in the morning. If you prefer the airport pick-up instead, please indicate the arrival time of your flight when processing the reservation or later on, once you have booked the tour.
We will then head to Nauta in a two-hour tour. Once we arrive there, we will embark on the boat that will take us to our lodge. The lodge is located next to the Ucayali river, right in front of the extensive Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. During the boat tour the guide will explain all the activities that you are able to enjoy. Upon arrival at the lodge you will be accommodated in our private rooms. After lunch, we will start the adventure in the Amazon by boat, enjoying the wonderful sunset and swimming close to the famous pink dolphins. We will return to the lodge for dinner and in the evening we can participate in an expedition in search of the nocturnal animals that live in the jungle.
todayDAY 2 Walk through the jungle - Monkey area
After breakfast we will go on a walk through the jungle to admire the spectacular nature of the Amazon. During this trip, the guide explains everything you can see: different species of birds, the plants that surround us and other indigenous animals. Afterwards, we will return to the lodge to eat, rest for a while and later we board the boat again to make bird sightings. Depending on the season and the recommendation of the guide, we will also sail to the spot where we will find many monkeys.
After our excursion spot monkeys, we will return to the lodge to enjoy a relaxed dinner and then you will have the chance to go out on the boat to look for alligators with only our lanterns and the natural light of the night. Seeing the reflection of the alligator’s bright and vivid eyes staring back at you from the darkness is what adventures are made out of!
todayDAY 3 The sounds of the jungle
After a short night, we will get up early to enjoy the sounds of the jungle during the morning. At this time of the day, the animals are more active and a lot more noisy, so we will definitely get a good wake-up call. After our breakfast you can go fishing for some more piranhas. Later we will visit a colony of the impressive Amazonian giant water lilies. After this last activity, we will return back to the lodge to eat one last time together before we board the boat again to return to Iquitos. We will safely arrive in Iquitos between 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM depending on the agreement with the guide or in accordance with the groups different flight schedules.

Iquitos Jungle tour reviews with Howlanders
Tania · February 18, 2020
Al reservar esta experiencia en ningún momento esperábamos lujo pero tampoco lo buscábamos. Querríamos de alguna forma experimentar la selva de la forma más auténtica posible, tener una idea de cómo es vivir allí y eso es lo que te ofrece esta experiencia.
Paseos por los ríos, ver animales en su hábitat, monos, pájaros, insectos, peces, delfines, perezosos, geckos, etc. Comida local riquísima y sana, la cama ha sido muy cómoda y el hecho de estar rodeada de red nos ha protegido de las picaduras.
Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable que la recomiendo. Hemos desconectado como nunca, literalmente porque no había cobertura. He sentido otra vez lo que significa que el día parezca lento e infinito y lo echaba de menos.
Totalmente recomendable!
El equipo nos ha ayudado en todo momento, nos ha contestado rapidísimo y nos ha asesorado de la mejor manera posible.
