This 4-Day / 3-Night Deep Jungle Expedition takes you to the heart of Pacaya Samiria National Park, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the Peruvian Amazon. Known as the “Jungle of Mirrors” for its blackwater rivers that perfectly reflect the surrounding rainforest, this region is home to pink and gray river dolphins, countless bird species, monkeys, sloths, caimans, giant river otters, and even elusive anacondas.
Designed for true adventurers, this camping-based experience immerses you fully in the wild. You will travel by motorboat and traditional wooden boats (pamacaris), set up camp along the riverside, and explore pristine primary rainforest by day and night. Along the way, you’ll learn survival techniques, spot rare wildlife, and experience Amazonian life as few ever do.
This program is ideal for travelers seeking more than a glimpse of the Amazon — it’s a deep, hands-on expedition into one of the most magical and remote areas of Peru.

Yes. We use modern motorboats equipped with life jackets for all passengers. The trips are safe and comfortable, with opportunities to relax and enjoy the spectacular river scenery.

The park offers incredible experiences year-round. High-water season (February–July) makes river exploration easier, while low-water season (August–January) is excellent for hiking and wildlife spotting.
Tours in Pacaya Samiria involve special permits, professional park-licensed guides, and longer logistics compared to lodge-based tours near Iquitos. Additionally, because the park is remote and pristine, camping expeditions require full expedition gear, food, and transport, making it a premium, authentic wilderness experience that justifies the higher price.
