About this activity

Venture deep into Peru's largest protected rainforest reserve, where pristine waterways, exotic wildlife, and remote indigenous territories create an immersive jungle experience. This 4-day expedition from Iquitos combines motorised canoe exploration, hiking, and wildlife spotting in one of the Amazon's most biodiverse regions.

The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is one of the most beautiful places in the planet. Immerse yourself in the Peruvian jungle, and enjoy these wonderful 5 days with our trip to Pacaya Samiria in Iquitos for 4 days.

Highlights

  • Navigate blackwater rivers and lagoons by motorised canoe searching for pink river dolphins, caimans, and giant otters
  • Trek through primary rainforest on guided nature walks with expert naturalist spotters
  • Stay in remote jungle lodges and experience Amazonian ecosystems far from tourist crowds
  • Encounter indigenous communities and learn about traditional Amazonian cultures
  • Spot macaws, anacondas, pink river dolphins, and 500+ bird species
  • Explore flooded forest during wet season or terra firme trails in dry season

Insider tips

  • Wet season (June–August) offers easier wildlife viewing at water level and more dramatic jungle scenery; dry season (September–May) means more hiking opportunities
  • Pack a high-quality insect repellent and lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing—humidity and insects are intense in the reserve
  • Hire a knowledgeable local guide; they can spot camouflaged animals and navigate river routes that maximise wildlife encounters

Good to know

  • Bring binoculars, waterproof camera bag, sun protection, and quick-dry clothing; expect wet conditions and river travel daily
  • Physical fitness needed: multiple days of early morning boat trips, hiking in humid conditions, and basic jungle lodge amenities
  • Typically includes transport from Iquitos, meals, guides, and accommodation; confirm what's covered before booking
  • Depart from Iquitos city centre; allow time for connecting flights to reach Iquitos first
