Highlights
  • Malecon Tarapaca - We will pick you up from the hotel to go towards the port of Iquitos Boulevard. Here, you will board the boat and start a upriver trip having beautiful views to the city and the Malecon Tarapacá.

We will navigate rivers that cross the city such as Itaya, Amazonas and Nanay. During the tour you will see how the colors of these 3 rivers do not mix, creating a visual show.

If we are lucky, we are going to admire dolphins and pink bufeos during the journey. Spend an amazing time fishing piranhas in the Amazonas.

  • Padre Cocha - We will arrive to the community of Kukama to know the local people and learn about their customs and see a show of traditional dances.
  • Pilpintuwasi - We will continue along the shore of the community of Padre Cocha, and a little later, we will be at the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm.

This beautiful place has a variety of species of butterflies with different sizes. They are flying inside a special greenhouse.

Intimate and touching encounters with rescued jungle animals. - What a truly amazing experience. Not only were the encounters with rescued animals more up close than in a traditional zoo, but the volunteer who guided our tour was informative, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. He obviously cared about each and every animal, which made our encounters personal and touching. Our whole family - including 2 boys 12 and 14 - had one of the most memorable experiences.
