Lodge In The Jungle Pacaya Samiria

DAY 1

Upon your arrival at Iquitos airport, we will greet you and provide a road transfer to the port of Nauta, approximately 1.5 hours from the city. Here, we'll board boats, and during the rainy season, we have the chance to visit the Casual Fundo as we journey downriver. Upon reaching the Pacaya Samiria Lodge, you'll be welcomed by a member of the KukamaKukamiria culture with a refreshing natural fruit juice.

The Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge is situated deep in the Peruvian jungle, on the left bank of the Marañon River, southwest of Iquitos. The Pacaya Samiria Reserve hosts the Amazon's largest floodplain forest, home to significant wildlife species such as the pink dolphin, cougars, monkeys, birds, and a rich variety of reptiles including alligators and turtles. The rivers are teeming with diverse fish species.

After enjoying lunch, we'll spend an engaging afternoon listening to legends and tales about the enigmatic Amazon rainforest. Following this, we'll embark on a night tour around the lodge, searching for spiders, snakes, frogs, and a variety of nocturnal insects. Dinner will be served at the lodge, where we'll spend the night.

DAY 2

Following a hearty breakfast, we'll begin a walking tour through the jungle to marvel at the incredible diversity of flora and fauna and learn about the powerful medicinal plants that thrive here. This area boasts over 900 types of wild flowers and delicious 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, known as the "Jungle of Mirrors." In 1982, this section of the Amazon jungle was declared a protected natural area to safeguard its vast array of exotic fauna and flora, natural resources, and endangered species like the black lizard and giant otter.

We'll explore the jungle by boat, where you'll have the chance to see magnificent pink dolphins and sloths. You can also try your hand at piranha fishing before we return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

DAY 3

After breakfast, we'll embark on our final day's 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 handicrafts. We'll then return to the lodge for lunch.

At the designated time, we'll head back to the city of Iquitos.
