JUNGLE TOURS
JUNGLE TRIP PROGRAMS
WE CAN ARRANGE YOUR TRIP ACCORDING TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS!
We know our Amazon jungle like the palm of our hands, we have been leading many kinds of expeditions for 38 years, introducing people from over 30 countries, young and old, to the wonders of our beautiful rainforest. The Amazon is one of earth's majestic, spiritual places; we are ready to let you feel and know it as it is. We would like to share our knowledge with you, dear visitor.
From the most simple trip to the most primitive adventure, we will use all our energy and effort to help you live this experience to its fullest. We can develop your adventure so that you will know our green carpet — the greatest botanical garden in the world, exploring small creeks, rivers, lakes, partaking in birdwatching, dolphin observation, and deep jungle treks. We can also organize special trips for birdwatchers and adventurers, and can arrange survival courses. WE GO TO REMOTE AREAS not frequented by tourists, for an authentic jungle trip. Only special trips for birdwatchers are available and an expert birding guide will be provided. Trip duration: A recommended, suggested trip of 5 days and 4 nights is best. A longer stay is even better. Just taking one or two additional nights is highly recommended. Note: we can also arrange trips to Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve.
OUR GOAL IS THAT YOU RETURN HAPPY AND YOUR TRIP EXPERIENCE EXCEEDS YOUR EXPECTATIONS!
Transfer is provided both for Sportfishing trips as well as for Jungle Trips. And on the way downtown Iquitos highlights will be explained along the way.

OUR PROGRAMS
2 DAYS/1 NIGHT
First Day: All trips start in your hotel at 8:30 am. We go to the local docks to take one of the many fast boats or river buses for our 2 1/2 hour ride down the Amazon. We’ll then arrive at base camp with a jungle-style hut. Basic latrine toilets are available, and accommodation will be on foam mattresses well protected under mosquito netting. After a delicious meal of local prepared foods, we’ll start our first trip.
The jungle walk with your guide will put you in a real jungle mood, because here you will observe lots of high and luxuriant trees, and medicinal tree barks and plants. You’ll also have the chance to spot some of the many birds that live around the camp.
After this trip, a canoe ride will be offered just in time for sunset. After dinner, we will have another walk through dense jungle so you can see the difference between a daytime and nighttime walk, or if you prefer we can do an evening canoe trip.
Early next morning, before breakfast, you will have the chance to go birdwatching. After breakfast we can go fishing for piranha and other species, or we can take another short walk. After Lunch we’ll return to Iquitos. End of our services.
