Overview

The convergence of the Rio Nanay and the Amazon River serves as the stage for this 3-day high-impact "all-inclusive" jungle expedition.

Provided by Maniti Expeditions, this journey transitions from the urban port of Bellavista Nanay to a secluded eco-lodge 70km downriver.

You move from the educational discovery of traditional Amazonian plant medicine and native tribal customs to an active immersion featuring piranha fishing, nocturnal caiman spotting by canoe, and sunrise wildlife observation, experiencing an environment where a private guide and 24/7 lodge connectivity define the energy.

Itinerary

  1. The journey begins at 9:00 AM with a transfer to the Nanay port. You’ll perform a 2-hour transition downriver, gaining an initial window into the landscape of turtles and herons. Your guide provides a perspective on primate biodiversity during a 3-hour visit to Monkey Island, home to sloths, capuchins, and anacondas. This phase reaches its culminating point at the camp with a dolphin-watching session, where you have a final opportunity to swim with pink freshwater dolphins in the main river before a nocturnal nature hike.
  2. The core of the second day involves an immersive discovery of the Amazonian sunrise via boat. You’ll perform an afternoon fishing excursion to catch piranha and catfish, followed by a viewing of the Victoria Regia, the largest freshwater aquatic plant in the world. After sunset, the session reaches its culminating point with a canoe excursion to spot and photograph caimans in their nocturnal habitat.
  3. The final day reaches its culminating point with an early morning jungle hike to observe birds and learn about medicinal plants. You’ll have a final opportunity to visit a local native tribe to learn about their history and customs. The session concludes with a boat transfer back to Iquitos and a drop-off at your hotel or the airport by late afternoon, providing a necessary refresh of your outlook on the "lungs of the planet."

Expect a spectacular, well-coordinated, and deeply "immersive" immersion into the deep jungle. The transition from the "river boat" to the "lodge hammock rooms" is managed by expert guides, ensuring that every guest—from nature lovers to photography enthusiasts—remains safe and informed. The environment is one of monumental biodiversity, where the combination of private accommodations and a 22-meter swimming pool provides a higher vertical standard of comfort than standard jungle camping. Note that while the lodge offers WiFi, the primary goal is a $10/10$ connection with nature.
