After landing at the airport in Iquitos you will be met by a representative who will transport you to the city harbor where you board a boat for your journey to the amazing Yarapa River Lodge. The trip there lasts a few hours and along the way you will be able to observe some stunning views over the mighty Amazon River. The Yarapa River Lodge is located on the banks of the Yarapa River, a tributary of the Amazon, and is surrounded by pristine virgin rainforest. Upon arrival at Yarapa you will be introduced to the lodge, shown to your luxury jungle accommodation, and served a delicious lunch. Following lunch you'll be given an orientation of the area and undertake a short jungle excursion to get to know the lodge's surroundings a little better. The evening is set aside for your leisure. The dining area provides great views over an electric sea of surrounding jungle tops that seem to slowly swallow the tropical Amazonian sun each night. (Meals - L, D)

Waking up to the sounds of bird chatter and the buzz of the jungle in the Yarapa Lodge is an unforgettable experience. After waking up you’ll be able to admire views over the Yarapa River while enjoying some of the lodge’s delicious jungle breakfast options. Following breakfast you will board a special Yarapa boat for a morning tour to three Amazon Lakes in the nearby area. A variety of fascinating types of wildlife are usually seen on this tour including giant river otters, pygmy marmoset monkeys, sloths, and the occasional anaconda. Most impressive of all however are the pink river dolphins that often approach the boat in a playful pod – the sight of these amazing creatures so close is a truly unforgettable experience. You will return to the Lodge for lunch following which you will be led on a guided trail through the surrounding jungle where one of Yarapa’s experienced guides will explain the very many types of flora and fauna you come across as well as the many different healing qualities different jungle plants are believed to contain. In the evening you will board one of Yarapa’s larger boats for an after dinner cruise in order to explore the Amazon by night. (Meals – B, L, D)

On the morning of the third day you will once again rise to the wild and wonderful sounds emanating from the surrounding jungle before enjoying a delicious breakfast. Following your meal you will board a boat and head off to explore the amazing giant lilies of the Amazon. Some of these lilies are so large that they can purportedly hold a child. It is quite common on this tour to spot the interesting Hoatzin Bird. With a reptilian screech and the fact that Hoatzin fledglings have claws on the midriff of their wings, scientists have linked this fascinating bird to the prehistoric Pterodactyl. Following your tour of the lily area you will return to the lodge for a delicious lunch. In the afternoon you will be led to an authentic native Indian community close to the lodge where a village elder will sit and explain - with the help of a translator - the daily goings on of life in the village. It is possible to purchase souvenirs and handicrafts in the village such as traditional blow dart guns that are still used today for the purpose of hunting. Later in the afternoon you may explore the rivers surrounding the lodge in special dug our canoes. Following dinner you may accompany one of the guides on a special nocturnal caiman spotting adventure. (Meals - B, L, D)

Following an early morning jungle sunrise you will be able to enjoy a quick breakfast before heading out on a macaw spotting expedition. These brightly colored birds gather together in the lower green canopies amid babbles and screeches and flurries of striking feathers. Macaws are not the only birds that can be seen on the morning’s outing with a number of other jungle birds making a presence such as herons and king fishers. Following the macaw expedition you will return to the lodge for a farewell lunch before boarding one of the lodge’s boats for your return trip to Iquitos. You will then be met at the docks and safely transported to the airport for your flight on to your next destination. (Meals – B, L)
