Our trips to the Peruvian Amazon
How can you incorporate a trip to the Peruvian Amazon?
Designing an itinerary that includes the Peruvian Amazon jungle depends primarily on your travel style and the time you have available. We organize the Amazon experience as seamless logistical extensions, tailored to the pace of your main tour.
The High Forest Extension: Moyobamba and Tarapoto (4 to 5 days)
This option is ideal if you are touring northern Peru. Situated at an altitude of 400 meters, this transitional zone acts as a natural gateway between the Andes and the jungle.
We typically integrate this at the beginning or end of a trip to the north. You can arrive here from the colonial city of Chachapoyas. You will spend a few days here before flying back to Lima—exploring rivers, visiting cacao plantations, and seeing artisan workshops in Lamas or Chazuta. It is the perfect way to unwind after an action-packed journey.
The Pacaya Samiria Adventure: A Wild Immersion (One week, round-trip from Tarapoto)
To truly experience the deep Amazon, you need to dedicate time to it. We structure this extension as a loop lasting about a week, starting and ending at Tarapoto airport.
From Tarapoto, you travel by road to Yurimaguas before venturing deep into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. A week is the ideal amount of time to disconnect, navigate far away from inhabited areas, and immerse yourself in the heart of nature. Taking this time maximizes your chances of truly savoring the moment—spotting pink dolphins, camping in the forest, and meeting the reserve’s guardians.
The Exclusive Option: Lodges and Cruises (4–5 days, round trip from Iquitos)
If you are seeking ultimate comfort or wish to add an exceptional touch to the end of a trip to the south or north, this extension departs from Iquitos.
As this region is accessible only by air, you will land in Iquitos, where we will meet you for a multi-day circuit. This is the ideal choice for staying in high-end eco-lodges nestled deep in the forest or embarking on a luxury Amazon River cruise. The itinerary is shorter and streamlined, focusing on comfort and guided wildlife viewing.
Each extension is fully customizable and can be tailored to fit your international flights and the rest of your itinerary. Contact us to arrange the logistics for your next Amazonian immersion.
