(WEDNESDAY) DAY 01: IQUITOS - NAUTA - PAHUASHIRO

Airport pickup and private transfer to Nauta for boarding. A boxed lunch will be provided during the journey. Our staff will escort you to your suite, specially equipped with all the comforts: comfortable beds, pure Peruvian Pima cotton sheets, cotton bathrobes, air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, and toiletries.

Before setting sail, our bartender will serve you a cocktail made with local fruits and pisco, Peru's most popular national spirit. Don't miss the opportunity to savor it while enjoying a 360-degree view from the observation deck or a panoramic view from the indoor or outdoor lounge.

Once we set sail, the naturalist guides will give us an overview of the trip's program, including activities, routes, information about wildlife and vegetation, geographical and historical background, and other useful details. If you have any questions, our guides will always be available to assist you.

After the welcome briefing, we'll enjoy a delicious snack and then have some time to relax before our next boat trip. We'll take a night excursion in search of caimans, tarantulas, frogs, and other species that emerge after sunset.
