Lodge In The Jungle Pacaya Samiria

DAY 1

Upon your arrival at the Iquitos airport, we will be there to greet you and provide a road transfer to the Nauta port, approximately a 1.5-hour journey from the city. We'll embark on boats, and during the rainy season, we have the chance to visit Casual Fundo as we travel downstream. Once we arrive at the Pacaya Samiria Lodge, you will be welcomed by a member of the KukamaKukamiria culture and treated to a refreshing natural fruit juice.

The Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge is nestled in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, situated on the left bank of the Marañon River, southwest of Iquitos. This area is part of the largest floodplain forest in the Amazon, the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, home to key wildlife species such as pink dolphins, cougars, monkeys, and a rich variety of birds and reptiles, including alligators and turtles. The rivers also teem with diverse fish species.

After lunch, we'll spend an enjoyable afternoon listening to myths and tales about the enigmatic Amazon rainforest. Following this, embark on a night tour around the lodge to spot spiders, snakes, frogs, and a wide array of nocturnal insects. Dinner will be served at the lodge, where we will also spend the night.

DAY 2

Following a well-earned breakfast, we'll embark on a walking tour through the jungle, marveling at the incredible diversity of flora and fauna and discovering the potent medicinal plants prevalent in this area. This region boasts over 900 types of wildflowers and delectable tropical fruits such as Camu Camu, Aguaje, and Ají Charapita. We'll return to the lodge for a traditional local lunch.

In the afternoon, we'll visit the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, famously dubbed the "Jungle of Mirrors." This part of the Amazon jungle was designated a protected natural area in 1982 to safeguard its vast array of exotic fauna and flora, natural resources, and endangered species like the black lizard and the giant otter.

Our jungle exploration continues by boat to observe the stunning pink dolphins and sloths. You'll also have the chance to fish for piranhas, after which we will return to the lodge. Dinner and overnight stay are included.

DAY 3

After breakfast, our final day begins with a journey to the Marañon River and Cocha Shiriyacu (depending on the season and fishing conditions). We will visit the San Jorge community and their craft center, where you'll have the opportunity to purchase beautiful handmade crafts. Following this, we will head back to the lodge to enjoy lunch.

At the designated time, we will return to the city of Iquitos.
