We'll pick you up at your hotel in Iquitos at 9:15 am. We'll then transfer you to the city port for a boat trip to the camp where we'll stay.

Once there, we'll have a delicious buffet lunch before taking a walk to discover the exuberant nature that surrounds us. We'll also have the opportunity to glimpse the pygmy marmoset, the smallest primate in the world, and enjoy a fantastic sunset by a beautiful lagoon.

When the sun has disappeared behind the horizon, we'll enjoy a succulent dinner and then head into the jungle aboard a boat to find the fearsome alligators.

Day 2
After breakfast, we'll take a trip to the Sapote lagoon and the Moena lagoon where we'll see birds, sloths, and adorable little monkeys hanging from the branches.

We'll eat to regain our strength and then those who want can go fishing for piranhas in the Corriente and Purura lagoons. Afterwards, we'll go to observe the hoatzin, a prehistoric bird of striking colors. Later, we'll have dinner and end the day in the undergrowth looking for tarantulas and frogs.
