Marasha Natural Reserve Tour
Description
The Marasha Natural Reserve Tour offers a unique chance to explore the wonders of the Peruvian Amazon. Experience a journey along the world’s most extensive river while immersed in vibrant greenery.
Tour Overview
At the scheduled time, we will collect you from the Isla Bonita pier located on the Leticia Malecón, then proceed to the city’s port. Aboard a traditional Amazon canoe, we will enjoy an approximate journey of 30 minutes along the river.
As we navigate, you will be captivated by the stunning jungle scenery as we cross the natural border into Peru. Our destination is the enchanting Marasha Natural Reserve, a true haven amidst the jungle.
Upon arrival, an exciting hiking adventure along ecological paths awaits, where you will observe the diverse flora and fauna endemic to this region of South America. Additionally, if you wish, you can extend your exploration by canoeing or kayaking, or even indulge in artisanal fishing.
There is also the option to visit Mico Island, home to curious and playful monkeys, or head to the riverbanks to admire the exquisite Victoria Regia, a collection of majestic giant water lilies dotting the Amazon's waters.
The tour will culminate with a delightful buffet lunch, allowing us to refresh before we begin our return journey to Leticia.
