Pure Amazon: High Water Season 8D/7N Experience

The journey starts in Iquitos, which stands as the biggest city in the world, only accessible through air travel and water routes. The journey from this point requires a one-hour and forty-five-minute drive to reach Nauta, which lies along the Marañon River and presents a stunning postcard-like view. Board the Pure Amazon from here. The ship will begin its welcome briefing right after passengers settle in, while the onboard chefs prepare a delicious meal for them. The vessel moves toward Yuracocha with steady motion as darkness descends upon the landscape.

Start your day with a peaceful boat trip across Yuracocha, which contains peaceful oxbow lakes and various bird species. After breakfast, you should explore the Dorado blackwater streams, which show perfect reflections of the forest canopy for wildlife photography of monkeys and iguanas, and other animals. In the afternoon, you have two options: you can either paddle through the peaceful water in a double kayak or you can try piranha fishing with catch-and-release methods. You will begin your night adventure by boarding a skiff safari to discover caimans’ eye reflections and bats and night herons and nocturnal monkeys against the backdrop of frog chirps and insect buzzes.

You can start the morning with an incredibly beautiful sunrise excursion in the Pacaja River, deep within one of the world’s most incredible wildlife reserves, the Pacaya-Samiria. You will see macaws and toucans and hear howler monkeys while observing giant river otters if you are lucky enough to spot them. The morning meal will lead you to continue your exploration of this submerged wonderland until the sun reaches its peak. The afternoon brings two choices to you: attend a lecture and cooking demonstration, or wait until the heat dies down to go kayaking or swim in the blackwater before dinner. The ship moves toward Yanallpa while you sleep

Begin your day at dawn to experience birdwatching in Yanallpa which ranks as a prime location for observing raptors and parakeets. The guided forest walk begins after breakfast where you will learn about native plants and discover traditional plant uses from indigenous societies. The village visit allows you to interact with native people who will share their traditional way of living. The afternoon trip leads you to Supay Creek where you will float down the water in a skiff while hearing the eerie sounds of red howler monkeys echo through the forest trees.

Start your day with a chill breakfast as Pure Amazon cruises back into Nauta.The local market produces a vital experience because it presents an extensive assortment of Amazonian fruits and river fish and authentic handcrafted items. Use the last moments of your day to take another boat ride through Nauta’s stunning natural landscape which hides numerous wildlife species.

Early morning light brings the chance to set out from Nauta Caño, a lush waterway famous for black-collars hawks, tanagers, and yellow-tailed oropendolas that are super abundant there. After eating breakfast you should visit Yanayacu Pucate because this tributary within Pacaya-Samiria Reserve shows exceptional beauty while supporting monkey populations and tamarins and iguanas. People can choose between fishing for piranhas or other species while they are at the river. Kayakers and boaters choose to explore Yanayaquillo during the afternoon because its wildlife becomes more active at night with the help of spotlights which reveal caimans and nocturnal monkeys and insects. The evening ends with dinner followed by stargazing when the weather stays clear.

Begin your day early to discover Nueva Arica’s distinctive riverside environment, which reveals its true character through seasonal water level changes. The water activities offer complete relaxation through two options: swimming and rowing across the peaceful blackwater. The jungle path leads to the Samirias River during afternoon hours, where the water mirrors the forest and sky in perfect clarity. Your guide will show you sloths and monkeys and unique birds, and small animals like frogs and insects during your walk. Before you leave, make sure to enjoy a final meal on the ship.

Start the day after breakfast in Nauta by visiting the Formabiap educational project. Students at the Formabiap project study teaching methods which enable them to instruct in Spanish, along with their native languages, that number around 200 students. The event begins with musical greetings to all visitors, who then learn about longhouse building techniques before participating in a spiritual cleansing ceremony, which an elder leads, and finally attending a presentation about medicinal plants. Your trip will end with a transfer that leads you back to your hotel in Iquitos or the airport.
