Camping questions
Where do camping tours from Iquitos go?
Out of San Regis on the Marañón River, at the edge of the Pacaya Samiria basin, about 4 hours from Iquitos by road and boat. Pickup is at 5:30 AM on your tour start date.
When is the best time for camping in the Amazon?
Low water from June to October, when beaches and sandbars appear, trails are dry and skies are clear. High water camping is possible but beaches are scarce.
What is provided on a camping tour?
Tents, sleeping gear, all meals cooked in camp, drinking water, boat transport and licensed bilingual guides. You bring clothing, a headlamp and personal items; see our packing list.
Do I need camping experience?
No special skills are needed, but you should be comfortable with basic camping and long days outdoors. Tours are rated moderate.
Can I mix camping nights with the eco-lodge?
Yes. A custom itinerary can split nights between the eco-lodge and the field, and add fishing, birding or jungle days around them.
