Amazon River Voyage
Day 1 Arrive Iquitos in early evening flying from Lima or Cusco. Get settled in to your spacious cabin aboard the Delfin I or II and enjoy a pisco sour from your private balcony or the teak wood bar before a gourmet dinner and trip briefing.
Day 2 Rise early for sunrise and birdwatching before hiking through tropical rainforest to giant ceiba trees. After lunch spot troops of monkeys and river dolphins while exploring by skiff. Enjoy the jungle symphony while looking for both southern and northern constellations.
Day 3 Appreciate the Amazon canopy from within and above it exploring an extensive canopy walkway 85-ft high. Canoe back to the boat looking for the world’s largest fresh water fish, the giant arapaima. Catch piranha in flooded forest and spot caimans, night herons, spectacled owls and more after dusk.
Day 4 Visit an indigenous community on the river banks and experience their timeless traditions. Meet local women and children while visiting the small schoolhouse and craft market. This experience isn’t soon forgotten. Spot wildlife on an excursion to the Amazon’s giant lilies in the afternoon.
Day 5 Fresh juices and delicious breakfast will help you have a keen eye to spot squirrel and capuchin monkeys, pink dolphins, as well as myriad bird species this morning. After a visit to the Manatee Rescue Center take an evening flight to Lima or Cusco.
