Peru Amazon Cruise 4 Days Nov-May | Delfin III

Your journey begins in Iquitos, a vibrant gateway city surrounded by
jungle and water. Our team welcomes you at the airport and
accompanies you in comfort aboard our private vehicle. As you
journey toward Nauta, a nourishing lunchbox eases you into the
rhythms of the rainforest.

In Nauta, one of the oldest towns in Loreto, you’ll be greeted at our
private embarkation port. Here begins your intimate encounter with
the Amazon. Step aboard your Delfin vessel and settle into your suite—an oasis of calm crafted with local elegance, from handwoven details to natural cotton comforts and your own private terrace.

As the vessel glides into the waters of the Marañón River, join your
naturalist guide in the observation lounge for an overview of the
journey ahead—its landscapes, wildlife, history, and wonder.

At twilight, set out on your first skiff excursion through the seasonally flooded forest. The high waters bring you closer to the treetops, where monkeys leap between branches and colorful birds perch just overhead. As the sun sets, the forest shifts into another world.

Search for caimans, owls, and other nocturnal creatures under a
starlit canopy. This is the Amazon in high water—immersive, thriving, unforgettable.

Please note: The Peruvian Amazon is a very remote region. Cruise and lodge operators design transfer schedules to align with specific incoming and departing flights to maximise their operations. Frequent flight schedule changes can also complicate matters. We strongly advise consulting with your booking agent prior to confirming your flights to avoid any potential long delays and/or missed connections.

Begin your morning with a peaceful pre-breakfast outing in
Yanayaquillo, where the Amazon awakens with colorful birds and
slow-moving sloths resting high in the canopy.

Continue with a guided walk through the Amazon Natural Park,
learning about the forest’s vibrant ecosystem. During this visit, a
local shamana will share a traditional medicinal plant ceremony,
offering a meaningful glimpse into the region’s ancestral wisdom.

In the afternoon, explore the pristine waters of Yanayacu Pucate.
Enjoy a gentle skiff ride in search of wildlife, take a refreshing
swim, or glide across the calm blackwater lagoon by kayak.

As night falls, embark on a nocturnal exploration through Nauta
Caño. Under the Amazon’s starry sky, discover the creatures that
come alive after dark, revealing the rainforest’s most mystical
side.

In the morning, venture along the Fundo Casual trail, where the
rainforest reveals its secrets through towering trees, vibrant
flora, and wildlife hidden in the canopy. Along the way, meet
members of a local community whose traditions and daily life
are deeply tied to the rhythms of the forest. Their knowledge
and warmth create a meaningful connection between culture
and nature.

In the afternoon, sail to the legendary confluence of the
Amazon, known as the Unión de los Ríos. Here, the Marañón and
Ucayali Rivers meet to form the mighty Amazon, one of the
world’s greatest waterways. This awe-inspiring sight embodies
the power and beauty of the rainforest, a moment to pause and
feel the heartbeat of the jungle.

With warm hearts, our staff will bid you farewell as your
journey comes to an end. At Nauta’s port, our team will
escort you by private vehicle back to Iquitos, a scenic 95-
kilometer drive.

Before your flight, enjoy an interactive activity about
melipona stingless bees and their crucial role in the Amazon
ecosystem. We’ll also visit the Amazon Research Center for
Ornamental Fishes, where you can admire the Amazon’s
vibrant aquatic life—from giant arapaima to colorful
freshwater stingrays. This final stop offers a beautiful
farewell to the region’s rich biodiversity.

Our team will assist with your luggage and check-in at
Iquitos airport. At security, your guide and the Delfin crew
will warmly say goodbye, hoping your Amazon journey
leaves you with unforgettable memories.
