At the appointed time we will pick you up from your hotel in downtown Iquitos or from the airport at the agreed time and head to the dock. At that time we board the boat and head to Monkey Island. Are you ready for a day in nature?

We sail along the Itaya and Amazon rivers, an ideal trip to discover all the secrets of these rivers and admire the richness of their flora and fauna. For this, we will go to Fundo Pedrito to see caimans, lizards, turtles, piranhas, paichas and the famous Amazonian plant Victoria Regia. In addition, depending on the season, we may even see dolphins.

Then we will visit a native tribe and learn about their way of life and even teach us their dances and customs. Afterwards we will stop for lunch and to recharge our batteries.

After two hours of sailing we arrive at Monkey Island, officially the Rolling Island Project, designed to care for and rehabilitate many primates and return them to their natural habitat.

There we leave the boat and explore the sanctuary while learning all about the species of monkeys that are cared for on a daily basis on the island. We also interact with them and even feed them - you will be fascinated by these animals! Before returning to the boat, we will enjoy a traditional lunch and finally, we return to navigate the Amazon and Itaya Rivers, ending the excursion at your hotel.
