The Expedition Route
Iquitos Region · Loreto, Peru
Airport → Lodge
Brisa Tropical Eco-Lodge sits along the Yanayacu — a quiet tributary that branches south from the Amazon River, deep into the rainforest. The lodge is reachable only by boat — and that seclusion is what puts you right among the Amazon's wildlife and its richest, hardest-to-reach experiences.
Six stages, three hours, one unforgettable arrival
Step 1
Start of your journey
You'll land at Iquitos International Airport (IQT — Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International). Iquitos is the world's largest city not connected by road; everyone arrives the same way you do — by air.
Step 2
≈ 25 minutes
From the airport, hop into a motokar — Iquitos's signature three-wheeled taxi — for a short, lively ride through the city to the river port. Your first taste of jungle Peru.
Step 3
≈ 2 hours
Board a private boat for the most scenic stretch of the journey. You'll travel down the famous Amazon River with views of jungle flora, fauna, and riverside communities along the way.
Step 4
≈ 15 minutes
Disembark at San Miguel community and take a short walk through the village and into the jungle. We'll transport your luggage by vehicle so you can travel light and take it all in.
Step 5
≈ 20 minutes
One last boat ride down the quieter Yanayacu River. The jungle gets denser, the water turns dark and reflective, and you'll start to feel just how remote you've come.
Step 6
Total journey ≈ 3 hours
Welcome home. Settle into your bungalow, grab a cold drink, and take a deep breath — you've arrived in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon.
About three hours total. Times can shift slightly with weather and river levels.
We transport your bags by vehicle during the jungle walk so you can travel hands-free.
We meet you at the airport and guide you the entire way to the lodge — no figuring out logistics on your own.
Have questions about your arrival, flight timing, or what to expect on the way to the lodge? Reach out and we'll walk you through it.
