11. Hike in the White Sand Jungle National Park in Iquitos
· 5 hoursYour guide will pick you up from your accommodation. After a one-hour ride through Iquitos nightlife or daylife, we’ll reach the unique White Sand National Park, an environment unlike anywhere else in the world. At the entrance, we’ll register, take a short break, and safely leave backpacks if needed. A brief introduction will be given before the park ranger leads us into the jungle. Along the trail, you’ll discover trees and medicinal plants such as the mighty Lupuna, palms, edible mushrooms, and more. Wildlife sightings may include monkeys, spiders, jungle pigs, colorful birds, and tiny frogs. Midway, we’ll pause to enjoy breakfast in nature, giving you energy for the journey ahead. After three hours, we’ll exit the park and return to the city, stopping at a roadside stand to taste exotic Amazonian fruits—a delicious reward after the trek. Finally, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation.
22. Visit Native Communities from Iquitos
Our guided tour is special because your guide keeps you well-informed throughout the entire journey—not just taking you places, but explaining what you’re seeing, the cultural context, and river life. We also choose indigenous communities where the experience is authentic and respectful, with no pressure to buy crafts and without overpriced entrance fees that take advantage of travelers. We protect our guests from unexpected or excessive costs, keeping everything clear, fair, and safe. The tour is well-organized and starts at the Boulevard, a clean, calm, and safe area—so you begin the adventure with complete peace of mind. And because it’s almost a private tour (small groups of up to 6 passengers per boat), we can move at a relaxed pace—no rushing and no crowds. While cruising on the Amazon River, we can spend extra time looking for dolphins, slowing down when possible to enjoy the scenery—something large group tours rarely do because they follow strict schedules and move too fast.
