Amazon Kingfisher Lodge -
4 Days and 3 Nights
Day 1 - Our guide will meet you at the airport or your hotel
and take you to the port to board the B/F Jacamar. Your first
boat ride will be to view the market port area of Belen. Most
houses here are built on rafts and float during part of the year
when the water level is high. Continue down the Amazon to the
lodge. Settle into your room and after lunch you will take a jungle
hike on our protected land. You will see some of the enormous
variety of plant, insect, bird, and animal species which inhabit
the rainforest.
Days 2 - Optional - Start the day with an early morning (6:00
AM) bird watching trip - either hiking or by canoe.
After breakfast you will visit the small, river-side village of
Nuevo Sinai. A walk through the villages will show you how people
typically live. We will stop and visit with families and go into
their homes.
In the afternoon we will take a boat ride to the Rio Maniti and
fish. (You will get to sample your catch at dinner this evening!)
We will be on the lookout for pink dolphins which also like to
fish in this area.
Day 3 - This morning will feature a canoe trip on our pond and
down a jungle stream. We will be looking for marmoset monkeys
and birds.
After lunch, we will hike again and visit a local sugar cane mill
and, if possible, visit a neighboring Yagua Indian village.
After dinner this evening, you will go for a nocturnal walk.
Day 4 - You will visit the village of Yanamono where you will
get the chance to visit the elementary school. Children love to
have visitors and sometimes have a song to sing or simply show
what they have been learning. After lunch we board the Jacamar
for the trip back to Iquitos.
