Amazon Tours from Iquitos, Peru

Our Amazon tours are all-inclusive, starting from $175 per person (based on 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.

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.

We run guided tours from 1 to 7 days with daily departures, and custom itineraries can extend up to 14 days (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.

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 up to 14 days or more. 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.

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).

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–November, 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.

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.

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 — most guests enjoy the chance to unplug — so we recommend bringing a power bank and downloading anything you'll want offline.

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.

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.

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.
