Step into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon with our 5-Day / 4-Night Amazon Eco-Lodge Adventure: Mysterious Yanayacu. This program is specially designed for the low-water season (August to January), when the rainforest reveals its hidden wonders—sandbanks, lagoons, and secret blackwater rivers that come alive with wildlife.
Your journey begins navigating the legendary Amazon River, witnessing its confluence with the Nanay, and visiting wildlife reserves to encounter giant Victoria Regia water lilies, sloths, anacondas, monkeys, and exotic birds. Each day blends cultural encounters, botanical explorations, and thrilling adventures, from swimming with pink dolphins in the Yanayacu River to sharing traditional stories under the stars.
With guided excursions, authentic community visits, and the comfort of Amazon Andes Eco-Lodge, this itinerary promises an immersive Amazon experience of nature, culture, and mystery.

This program is designed for the low-water season (August to January), allowing you to explore hidden blackwater rivers and remote communities that are not easily accessible during high-water months. You’ll enjoy authentic cultural exchanges with local families, observe wildlife in their natural habitats—including pink river dolphins and free-roaming monkeys—and experience both day and night excursions for a complete immersion in the Amazon. The balance of adventure, nature, and culture, combined with the comfort of our eco-lodge, makes this a one-of-a-kind journey into the Peruvian rainforest.

Although wildlife sightings can never be 100% guaranteed, the confluence of the Nanay and Amazon Rivers is one of the best places to spot both pink and gray river dolphins. Many travelers consider this moment — when the blackwater meets the milky-brown Amazon — one of the highlights of the journey.
We recommend lightweight clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle, and comfortable walking shoes. A rain poncho or light jacket is also useful, as showers are common in the Amazon. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars for wildlife viewing!
