Detailed itinerary

Nuestro punto de embarque se encuentra al inicio del Boulevard de Iquitos, en la intersección con la calle Napo, frente a un hotel frecuentado por turistas. Es un lugar seguro, limpio y de fácil acceso, ideal para iniciar el recorrido con tranquilidad.

Desde este punto abordamos la embarcación para comenzar la navegación por el río Itaya hacia el río Amazonas. Al finalizar el tour, retornamos al mismo punto de partida, garantizando comodidad y una logística clara para todos los pasajeros.

Disfruta de una experiencia tranquila y auténtica navegando por los ríos que dan vida a Iquitos. Este tour comienza en el Boulevard de Iquitos, desde donde partimos en embarcación para recorrer todo el río Itaya, observando la vida local, casas flotantes y paisajes naturales, hasta llegar a la confluencia con el majestuoso río Amazonas.

Durante el recorrido, navegamos sin prisas, permitiendo apreciar la inmensidad del río, la selva que lo rodea y, con algo de suerte, buscar delfines rosados y grises en su hábitat natural. Dependiendo del horario, el tour puede enfocarse especialmente en disfrutar del atardecer amazónico, uno de los momentos más mágicos del día, cuando el cielo se tiñe de colores intensos sobre el río.

Es una actividad ideal para quienes desean conocer el Amazonas de forma relajada, sin caminatas ni esfuerzo físico, perfecta para familias, parejas o viajeros con poco tiempo en la ciudad.
