Day 01

From Iquitos to Rio Yarapa Lodge and Dolphin Search

Pick up from your hotel or airport in a private car at around 8:30 a.m. from Iquitos. After a drive of about 1.5 hours, we reach the town of Nauta. In Nauta, we change to a typical boat from this region, which takes us to the lodge in 2 hours. Sail on the two main rivers of the Amazon, the Rio Marañon and Ucayali. Reach the lodge located on the serene Rio Yarapa within the nature reserve. Enjoy a delicious lunch at the lodge, prepared with fresh local ingredients. Embark on a boat excursion to search for and observe the unique river dolphins of the Amazon region. Keep your eyes peeled for both the pink and gray river dolphins. After dinner, we set off on a night excursion on foot to search for snakes, frogs, spiders, and everything else the jungle has in store for us.
