Cruise Crucero La Perla 04 Días / 03 Noches - Wednesday departures

(WEDNESDAY) DAY 01: IQUITOS - NAUTA - AMAZON RIVER - YACAPANA RAVINE

Upon your arrival at the airport, we'll be waiting to begin your adventure. We'll take a city tour of Iquitos, a colorful, vibrant city with a captivating past. On this tour, you'll see the city's most iconic attractions.

Next, we'll travel by private vehicle to the city of Nauta, the historic river port where we'll embark. Upon arrival in Nauta (about two hours from Iquitos), we'll board La Perla, and our staff will escort you to your cabin, which we've specially equipped with all the comforts you need for a truly enjoyable trip.

The boat will begin its journey. At this point, the naturalist guides will present the itinerary, the routes to be followed, and the scheduled activities. Best of all, they will begin to introduce us to the wonderful world of Amazonian wildlife. Pay attention to their advice and recommendations, and keep in mind that if you have any questions, our guides will always be available to assist you.

Following the onboard presentation, we will have a welcome lunch, your first taste of the delights of regional cuisine. The menu offers several options, including a vegetarian alternative. If you have any special requests, please let our crew know in advance so we can accommodate them.

Afterwards we will have some time to rest before the next outing to the Yacapana Gorge, in search of new, impressive landscapes and more emblematic species of the Amazon.

Before returning to La Perla, and still in the mountains, we'll enjoy the marvelous light and unparalleled colors that unfold across the sky at these latitudes during sunset. We highly recommend that you relax and savor this moment, as few experiences compare to contemplating the endless colors on the Amazonian horizon, letting night fall and listening to the prodigious symphony of the millions of animals that inhabit the forests and waters of these jungles.

Back on the boat, we'll enjoy a peaceful evening with music and a restorative dinner.

(THURSDAY) DAY 02: UCAYALI RIVER - VISTA ALEGRE - YARAPA RIVER - UCAYALI

At dawn, we will take a boat to head to the banks of the Ucayali River, and observe the beautiful Amazonian birds that fill the thick treetops, a true spectacle of color and life in the heart of the forest.

After this exciting excursion and back on the boat, we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet, offered daily with a selection of traditional dishes, Peruvian specialties, freshly baked homemade goods, and a variety of fresh juices made with exotic jungle fruits that can only be found in this region. Once we've finished our meal, we'll be ready to embark on another boat trip, this time on the Yarapa River of the Ucayali. This area is ideal for spotting toucans, parrots, macaws, iguanas, sloths, and monkeys high in the trees.

Back at La Perla, we'll enjoy lunch on board, and after a short break, the guides will give a talk on local Amazonian culture. In the afternoon, we'll visit the village of Vista Alegre to meet the native community and learn about their customs, with the guides acting as interpreters and translators.

On the return trip you can enjoy live music while we wait for dinner on board.

(FRIDAY) DAY 03: UCAMARA - CONFLUENCE - PIRAÑA COCHA – CASUAL - MARAÑON RIVER

After breakfast, the guides will give a talk about the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, one of the most amazing jungle reserves in the world, with forests that remain flooded for much of the year.

Later, we will be ready for the boat expedition to the confluence of the Marañón and Ucayali rivers, the majestic jungle location where the Amazon River is born.

Before returning to La Perla, we explored the Piraña Cocha area, in search of more wildlife.

Back on the boat, we'll serve lunch, and you'll have time to relax and prepare for the next adventure: a hike along the winding jungle trails. The route will take us through the beautiful Casual area, home to poison dart frogs and countless other exotic species. In this area, we'll also see a variety of giant trees known locally as "Avatar." There, those who wish can purchase handcrafted items made by local women, thus contributing to the local economy.

Upon returning to La Perla, we will set aside time to contemplate the Amazonian sunset.

As night falls, you can listen to some live music before the final crew presentation and farewell dinner.

(SATURDAY) DAY 04: NAUTA - IQUITOS

This morning begins peacefully with breakfast on board, but becomes exciting with a visit to the city of Nauta, the second most important in the region. Upon arrival, we'll take a fun tour to the city market, where you can interact with colorful characters and learn about the region's unique commercial circuit. We'll visit stalls selling typical food, handicrafts, aphrodisiac drinks, and much more. A true immersion into the life of the Amazonian people.

Back on the ship, we will disembark. On the way to the airport, we will visit the River Mammal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (Amazon Forever Organization) where biologists and volunteers care for manatees, an endangered species that the authorities have rescued.

We will learn how manatees are treated and prepared for their reintroduction to their natural habitat. We will also see other rescued animals. Jungle Experiences actively collaborates with this organization and research center. We invite you to join us and contribute to this worthy cause.
