    Your 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.
