Iquitos & Pacaya Samiria Amazon River Expeditions

Deep in northern Peru lies Iquitos, the largest city in the world inaccessible by road and the gateway to the legendary Amazon River and the breathtaking Pacaya Samiria National Reserve — known as the “Jungle of Mirrors” due to the perfect reflections on its dark, tannin-rich blackwaters.

Cruise the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers where the Amazon River is officially born. Encounter graceful Pink and Gray River Dolphins (Inia geoffrensis and Sotalia fluviatilis) playing beside your boat, search for three-toed sloths resting high in the cecropia trees, and fish for red-bellied piranhas in hidden lagoons. Walk along elevated canopy bridges over 30 meters above the jungle floor for unparalleled bird and primate observation.

Experience authentic encounters with ribereño riverine communities and Kukama indigenous guardians who share ancient ancestral wisdom on herbal rainforest remedies and aquatic conservation programs.
