We start the day by picking you up from your hotel or Iquitos airport to take you straight on the adventure. We will visit Bethlehem Market, famous for its exotic fruits, natural medicines and unique flavors such as grilled lizard or suris. Then, we’ll take a canoe to tour the floating neighborhood, where you’ll see how people live in houses on water. Afterwards, we will continue along the Nanay River to the point where the Nanay, Itaya and Amazon rivers meet, a special place where, hopefully, we can see pink dolphins. We will stop at the Chullachaki Ecomuseum to learn about medicinal plants, local culture and taste traditional drinks. You will also meet the huge paiche and alligators at Fundo Don Pedrito. Finally, we will reach the Yanayacu Lodge. In the afternoon, we will take a sunset canoe ride and end the day with dinner surrounded by nature.
