Day 2 Yanallpa – Dorado River (B/L/D)
The Pacaya-Samiria, with an extension of over 2 million hectares is the largest protected area in Peru. Filled with rivers, lakes and palm swamps, the Reserve becomes a flooded forest in the rainy season (From Dec. to May). We spend the day exploring the reserve and viewing its biodiversity and amazing wildlife. From the skiff you can easily spot parrots, macaws and monkeys, such as the monk Saki monkey with its gray and black body, naked face and long shaggy tail. You might also see the saddle back tamarin monkey, whose high chirping notes can easily be confused with those of a flock of birds.

Day 3 Pacaya River – Atun Poza Lagoon (B/L/D)
During the dry season (Jul.-Dec.) we will hike through this pristine and unique ecosystem, passing through a classic tropical rainforest with emergent trees and canopy trees reaching up to 55 mt. in height. Many trees have buttress roots which often extend high up the trunks while palms are abundant and many of them have stilt roots. Biologically, this kind of forest is probably one of the richest habitats on earth, supporting the most species of plants and animals per unit area.

In the rainy season, aboard our comfortable skiffs, we will explore magnificent views and wildlife opportunities, experiencing spectacular rainforest wilderness, while searching for different species of monkeys, such as small family groups of red howler monkeys, the largest in the Amazon basin, with its bright rust-colored fur and long prehensile tail. At sunset, you’ll be will be astonished by the beautiful colors of the sky and the reflection of the jungle in the black water of the Pacaya River, which is why it has been called the forest of reflections: it’s hard to know where the jungle begins and the water ends. Once it is dark, you’ll hear the second installment of the jungle symphony.

Day 4 Yarapa River – Puerto Miguel Village – Nauta (B/L)
On board our skiffs we will stop at the village of Puerto Miguel to meet local villagers. You will have the chance to learn about their culture, traditions and folklore.
