Amazon Indigenous Villages Visit
Description
Embark on a journey to explore the traditions and customs of Amazonian indigenous communities via boat from Iquitos. Experience the magic of the Amazon and Itaya rivers while gaining insights into the unique flora and fauna of the region.
Activity Overview
The adventure begins at the designated time, as participants gather at the Iquitos pier. Here, we will board a traditional vessel that sets the stage for an extraordinary visit to the Amazon's indigenous settlements. This trip promises to be memorable!
Our expedition along the Itaya River offers breathtaking views of the lush natural surroundings. We will delve into the distinctive features of the jungle ecosystem that typifies this area of South America.
Upon reaching the meeting point of the Amazon and Itaya Rivers, we will venture deeper into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. This phase of our journey will see us navigate the Nanay River to visit the Bora and Kukama communities. We’ll disembark to engage with community members and uncover their customs and traditions.
Continuing our boat excursion through the Amazon, we will sail past the Padre Cocha village, making another stop at the Pilpintuwasi butterfly farm. This remarkable spot allows us to witness an array of butterflies and exotic wildlife that inhabit the jungle.
Ultimately, we will return to the pier in Iquitos, concluding our tour approximately 6 to 7 hours later.
