Transfer Iquitos - Jungle Lodge and Activities in the Amazon Jungle (L/D)
Please arrive to Iquitos before 9:00 am today. Transfer from the airport arrivals lounge to Iquitos (or hotel to the office) for shopping and last-minute coordination. Transfer to the port for a fast 3-hour boat ride upriver from Iquitos on the Amazon River. Upon arrival, get settled in to your lodge and enjoy lunch.
Afterwards, go on the Leoncito Hike, where you appreciate the immense variety of flora around the lodge. On this walk you can taste the water that Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) has within its vines - some say it can cure cancer and AIDS. You'll also be amazed at how huge the ceiba tree is. In addition, you will see the world's smallest monkey, the pigmy marmoset, and the squirrel and tamarin monkeys. If you're lucky, you'll see the howler monkey, whose deafening roar can be heard many miles away. After watching a sunset over the forest of mirrors head back to the lodge for dinner. In the evening, take a boat ride to see caimans, nocturnal birds and mammals.
NOTE: Once you arrive in Iquitos, our driver will pick you up from your hotel or the airport, and take you to our office. After check-in and a brief explanation of the boat ride to the lodge, we will sail in one of our boats. Our boats leave Iquitos every day at 9:30 AM, arriving at the lodge at 12:30 PM. The last day of your stay, we leave the Lodge after lunch, arriving in Iquitos around 4 PM.
