A 7-Day Expedition into the Heart of Pacaya Samiria
S/ 3,649 per person. Minimum 2 travelers
Pacaya Samiria is vast. We go deep into the Samiria.
Explore the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve from Iquitos on a 7-day, 6-night Amazon expedition designed for travelers who want to go beyond conventional rainforest tours.
Navigate the Marañón and Samiria rivers, travel deep into the reserve, camp in remote jungle areas, explore forest trails and lagoons, search for wildlife and experience the Amazon alongside local communities and park rangers.
Along the way, you will have opportunities to observe pink and gray river dolphins, birds, monkeys, giant river otters and other Amazon wildlife, while taking part in piranha fishing, traditional spear fishing and nighttime jungle excursions.
This is not a conventional Amazon tour.
It is a deep rainforest expedition for travelers who want more time, more exploration and a closer connection with the wild Amazon.
