The Yarapa River, at about 4 hours travel from Iquitos, is known for its rich flora and fauna. Recently, we have added this exciting excursion to our itinerary, because it allows us to give you a full primary rainforest experience in half the time you would need elsewhere.

 

On your way by boat, while you cruise down four different rivers (the Marañon, the Amazon, the Ucayali and the Yarapa), dolphin spotting is guaranteed, and you will see many different species of birds and butterflies, even before you arrive at your destination!

 

Our guide Lobo was born here and grew up on the Yarapa River. During your stay here, he will take you on exciting jungle expeditions, walking tours by day and by night, canoe trips, fishing for piranhas, and deep into the rainforest. Lobo has the sharpest eyes and ears and will help you spot a large variety of jungle animals, reptiles, insects and amphibians, while teaching you about medicinal plants and the traditional culture.

 

You knew that trees provide the planet with oxygen. But did you know some trees actually breathe pure oxygen?! We will show you the amazing Breathing Tree; a tree so large that it actually releases a continuous flow of oxygen from a hole in its trunk!

 

We don´t have a set program or schedule, so we are also open to hear your special wishes and requests. For example, we can take you on survival treks as far as to the border with Brazil!
