Arriving on a noon flight, receive a warm welcome at Iquitos International Airport from the crew. Board your private transfer to downtown Iquitos, for a panoramic city tour and a welcome lunch. Then transfer to Nauta port for embarkation. Settle into your generously sized suite as you begin one of life’s greatest adventures. Following an introduction to our naturalist guides and a routine safety drill, gather at the restaurant for the first of many Amazonian cuisine experiences created by Aria Amazon’s renowned consulting chef, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino.
Get an early start to the day with a birdwatching excursion along the Marañon River. After breakfast, explore the black waters of the Yanayacu Pucate River with the possibility to see sloths, great egrets, parrots, and Taricaya turtles. Visit an Amazon village to witness a demonstration of Aguaje palm harvesting. After lunch, go fishing for Amazonia´s notoriously ferocious piranhas and for a dusk excursion in search of exotic nocturnal wildlife.
Day 3: Samiria River | Pacaya Samiria National Reserve
The rewards of our early start today are plentiful, including a picnic lunch under the Amazonian shade, orchestrated to the sound of the jungle symphony. Go fishing along the black waters of Samiria River and choose to go on a jungle walk, canoeing, kayaking, or swim inside the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Later, cruise along the Ucayali River and enjoy the sunset.
After breakfast, embark on a morning skiff excursion on the Marañon River. Make sure to bring along your binoculars as we try to spot sloths and birds along this majestic river. In the afternoon, sail along the river to go to Puerto Prado, an indigenous village where there’ll be an opportunity to see giant water lilies.
