6 DAY CRUISE THE AMAZON TOUR

Day 1 - Arrival in Lima, Peru

---

Upon arrival to Lima, you will be greeted and driven to your selected hotel. If staying at the Lima airport Costa del Sol Ramada, you will only need to walk out the airport exit and across the street to your evening accommodations.

Day 2 - Lima to Iquitos

---

After a morning spent in Peru’s capital city (and an optional Lima city tour), you’ll fly to Iquitos, an isolated Amazonian town. Upon arrival, your cruise representative will meet you at the airport and escort you to your luxurious Amazon cruise boat. After settling into your cabin, you’ll be treated to a special onboard welcome dinner.

Day 3 - Yanallpa & Dorado River Trip

---

To see the immensity of the Amazon up close, today you’ll take two trips up Amazon tributaries in small boats. In the morning, you’ll float through a flooded Amazon forest, which is a great place to see monkeys and other wildlife, and in the afternoon you’ll navigate through the Mirrored Forest on Dorado River, returning to your cruise ship at dusk.

Day 4 - Community Visit & Pacaya River Exploration

---

After sunrise on an oxbow lake, you’ll visit a local Amazonian community to learn how the locals survive in this dense environment. Lunch is served back on the boat before the afternoon’s excursion up the Pacaya River to a lake deep in the rainforest. Night will fall as you make your way back to your cruise ship, giving you the opportunity to spot nocturnal animals with special spotlights.

Day 5 - Dolphin Excursion & Piranha Fishing

---

Enjoy an impromptu marine show this morning when you visit a popular dolphin feeding spot, one of the best places to see the famous pink river dolphins. Around noon you’ll begin heading down river toward Iquitos, stopping at a lake filled with various types of Amazonian fish. Here you can try to catch some carnivorous piranhas. The day concludes with a farewell dinner.

Day 6 - Iquitos to Lima

---

As you near Iquitos, you’ll be able to visit Belen, a town that actually floats on the Amazon River. And although you dock around noon, your adventure is not over yet. You’ll spend the afternoon visiting some of main sites in Iquitos, such as the Manatee Rescue Center and Indian Market. When your tour of the town concludes, you’ll be taken to the airport for your flight back to Lima.
