About trip difficulty

Easy: a relaxed pace, comfortable for all ages and fitness levels.

Moderate: longer days with more time on jungle trails and the water, which asks a little more of your body.

Brisa Tropical Adventures

The Amazon, on Your Terms.

Brisa Tropical Adventures runs guided Amazon tours from Iquitos, Peru, the largest city in the world reachable only by air or river. We offer four kinds of trip: jungle and cultural tours, sport fishing for peacock bass, arapaima and more, rainforest camping, and custom birding trips in a region with more than 500 species, with guided birding tours coming soon. Jungle tours and birding trips are based at our private eco-lodge on the Yanayacu River, a quiet tributary of the Amazon. Our camping and fishing expeditions run out of San Regis on the Marañón, at the edge of the Pacaya Samiria basin. Tours run from 1 to 7 days with daily departures, and custom itineraries can be as long as you like.

Prices start at US$175 per person for two or more travelers, with no hidden fees. Every tour includes a licensed bilingual guide, transport from Iquitos, river transport, fresh meals and the gear for each activity; lodge stays add a private room with jungle or river views. Getting there is part of the trip: a boat ride down the Amazon, a walk through a riverside village, and a second boat along the Yanayacu into untouched rainforest.

Custom, private Amazon tours are our specialty, something few operators in Iquitos offer. Anglers chasing one species, birders building a life list, families, couples and solo travellers all get an itinerary shaped around their dates, interests and budget. We also plan honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, graduations and group celebrations deep in the Amazon. See how custom tours work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included, and how much does a tour cost?

Our Amazon tours start from US$175 per person for two or more travelers, with no hidden fees. Every package covers licensed bilingual (English/Spanish) guides, round-trip transport from Iquitos, all meals and drinking water, and the gear listed in your tour's inclusions. When your tour includes a stay at the eco-lodge, you'll have a private bungalow with an en-suite bathroom. You just bring your personal items and, if you'd like, a little cash for souvenirs.

How do I get to the lodge from Iquitos?

Fly into Iquitos (airport code IQT). The city is reachable only by air or river, not by road. From there we handle everything: roughly a 25-minute motokar ride to the port, about a 2-hour boat trip down the Amazon, a short 15-minute jungle walk through San Juan Village, and a final 20-minute boat ride along the Yanayacu River to the lodge, around 3 hours in total, all included.

See the full route
How long are tours, and can I customize my itinerary?

We run guided tours from 1 to 7 days with daily departures, and custom itineraries can be as long as you like (or longer on request). Whether you want to focus on a single activity or mix several, every trip is built around your interests, pace, and schedule.

Browse tours
Do you offer fully customized private tours and special-occasion trips?

Yes. Fully customized, made-to-order tours are our specialty, and very few operators in Iquitos build a trip entirely around you. Tell us your dates, interests, budget, and pace, and we design a private, tailor-made Amazon itinerary, from a single day to several weeks. We also love planning special occasions: honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, graduations, and family, group, or corporate trips, with personalized touches along the way. Start with our custom tour builder or send us a message.

What activities and wildlife will I experience?

Choose from peacock bass sport fishing, expert-led birding (the region has more than 500 documented bird species), rainforest camping near the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, guided jungle treks, and Iquitos city tours. Along the way you may spot wildlife like pink river dolphins, monkeys, caimans, and sloths; bird species such as macaws, toucans, and the prehistoric-looking hoatzin; and, for anglers, fish species including peacock bass, pacu, piranha, and the giant arapaima (paiche).

When is the best time to visit the Peruvian Amazon?

The Amazon is a year-round destination, and the best time depends on what you're after. The high-water (wet) season runs roughly December–May, when rising rivers carry boats deeper into the flooded forest. The low-water season, roughly June through October and varying year to year, exposes more trails and riverbanks and is the better window for sport fishing. Temperatures stay around 72–90°F with high humidity year-round, and a passing rain shower often leaves the air cool and the breeze refreshing. Tell us your interests and we'll recommend the best window.

What are the rooms and meals like?

You'll stay in a private bungalow with an en-suite bathroom and jungle or river views. Three traditional Amazonian meals are prepared fresh on-site each day, along with safe drinking water, all included. If you have dietary needs or allergies, let us know when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

See accommodations
Is there Wi-Fi, electricity, and phone signal at the lodge?

Power is available for charging your devices in the evening (about 6:00–9:30 PM), with Wi-Fi connected during a similar evening window. Signal this deep in the rainforest is limited by nature, and most guests enjoy the chance to unplug, so we recommend bringing a power bank and downloading anything you'll want offline.

What health precautions do I need, and is the Amazon safe?

A trip to the Amazon is safe and comfortable with a little preparation. We recommend seeing a travel-medicine doctor 4–6 weeks before you fly; vaccines commonly advised for the region include Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, and Tdap. Pack DEET insect repellent and light long sleeves. The lodge provides mosquito netting, keeps first-aid supplies on hand, and Iquitos hospitals are reachable by boat if ever needed.

Read Health & Safety
What should I pack, and should I bring cash?

Pack light, breathable clothing, a rain layer, sturdy footwear, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat. There are no ATMs at the lodge, so if you'd like to leave tips or buy drinks and souvenirs, we suggest bringing some cash in small denominations (Peruvian soles preferred). It's a suggestion, not a requirement. Our full packing list walks through everything by category.

See the packing list
Who are the tours for: families, solo travelers, all fitness levels?

Our trips suit anglers, birders, families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Activities range from relaxed boat outings to more active jungle treks, and your guide sets a sensible pace for the group, so a range of fitness levels is welcome. Traveling with children or have specific needs? Just tell us and we'll tailor the itinerary.
