Camping Tour
Tour highlights
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.
Where You'll Sleep
No two nights look the same. Depending on the season and your route, you'll pitch camp in a jungle clearing or under a sky full of Amazon stars — with a fire going and dinner cooking at camp.
On a camping trip you sleep one of two ways: in a full ground-tent camp your guides set up with all gear provided, or in a private jungle house in the San Regis community at the edge of the reserve. Either way, meals are cooked fresh on-site and your campsite is chosen each trip by season, water levels, and recent wildlife activity.
Camp deep inside the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, one of the largest protected wetlands in South America — some of the most remote, wildlife-rich jungle near Iquitos, and a true off-grid night beneath a sky full of Amazon stars.

High above the rainforest floor
Cross a network of suspended walkways strung between the treetops for a rare view of the rainforest from the canopy. It's one of the best vantage points to spot birds, monkeys, and the layers of life you never see from the ground.
Drop a line straight from the boat
Drop a line from the boat or the riverbank and try your hand at landing the Amazon's most famous fish. It's a camp favorite — quick to bite, a blast to catch, and often part of that night's fresh-cooked dinner over the fire.
Around the fire after dark
Gather around the fire after a day on the river for stories from your guides, fresh-cooked food, and the kind of quiet you only find this far from the city. A guest favorite on every overnight trip.
By boat or on foot, around the clock
By day, trek the forest and paddle the tributaries to spot monkeys, sloths, river dolphins, and exotic birds. After dark, head back out by boat or on foot as a whole different world wakes up — your guide's spotlight picks out caimans gliding through the shallows, tree frogs, tarantulas, night monkeys, kinkajous, and the occasional boa, with eyes shining back from every direction.
Every Camping Trip
Our guided camping tours immerse you in the Amazon the way only an overnight in the jungle can — falling asleep to a chorus of frogs, waking to howler monkeys in the canopy, and spending your days trekking, fishing, and paddling through some of the most remote jungle near Iquitos. Gear, meals, and guides are all included.
We camp at multiple sites near Iquitos — from jungle close to our eco-lodge on the Yanayacu River to remote corners of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, one of South America's largest protected wetlands. Your guides grew up navigating these rivers and choose each campsite by season, water levels, and recent wildlife activity.
By day you'll trek primary rainforest, fish for piranha, paddle flooded forest and quiet tributaries, and spot monkeys, sloths, pink river dolphins, and exotic birds. After dark, a guided night walk turns up caimans, tarantulas, and tree frogs. Meals are prepared fresh at camp, and you sleep in ground tents with all gear provided.
On a camping trip you stay one of two ways: in ground tents we set up at camp, all gear provided, or in a private jungle house in the San Regis community at the edge of Pacaya Samiria. Many guests mix the two — a night or two in the jungle house, then deeper into the reserve under canvas. Want to add sport fishing, birding, or guided jungle hikes? We'll help you build the right mix for your days and your kind of adventure.
