EXCURSION
Your day begins with pick-up from your hotel to transfer to the picturesque port of Bellavista Nanay. Here, before touching the water, your senses will awaken with a tour of its local market, famous for offering the most authentic and daring flavors of the jungle; From the emblematic Suri to a variety of exotic barbecues that define the Loreto identity.
When boarding our boat, we will navigate along the Nanay River until we reach the imposing union of its waters with the Amazon River. As we cruise the world's largest river, your guide will share tales and legends that have been passed down from generation to generation. With nature on our side, we will seek the magical encounter with the gray and pink dolphins, who usually frolick in the wakes of the boats.
Cultural immersion comes from visiting the native tribe of the Yaguas. You will learn about their history, admire their crafts and participate in their traditional dances, you will even have the opportunity to test your aim with the blowgun, their ancestral hunting tool. The adventure continues on Monkey Island, a refuge where several rescued primates will welcome you in an environment of freedom and respect.
