This 5-day / 4-night expedition in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve – Marañón River zone is designed for travelers seeking an authentic Amazon jungle experience, far from conventional lodges and mass tourism.
The extended duration allows deeper access into protected areas of the reserve, significantly increasing opportunities to observe wildlife such as pink and gray river dolphins, caimans, monkeys, macaws, turtles, capybaras, giant river otters, and countless bird species.
Accommodation is basic and adventurous, with camping inside the reserve. Activities include river navigation, jungle hikes, wildlife observation by day and night, fishing, and learning basic Amazon survival techniques.
