Arriving on a noon flight, receive a warm welcome at Iquitos International Airport by Aqua Expeditions crew. Board a private transfer to downtown Iquitos, for a panoramic city tour and a welcome lunch. Then transfer to Nauta port for embarkation. Settle into your generously sized suite as you begin one of life's greatest adventures. Following an introduction to onboard naturalist guides and a routine safety drill, gather at the restaurant for the first of many Amazonian cuisine experiences created by Aria Amazon's renowned consulting chef, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino.

We start the day searching for incredible wildlife along the Ucayali River, including parrots, egrets, hawks, and monkeys. After breakfast, choose to go fishing for Amazonia's notoriously ferocious piranhas, canoe, kayak, or swim in the black water Clavero Lake, or visit an Amazonian village where you can interact with native ribereños (people of the river). After dinner, take a leisurely walk in the floodplain forest of San José de Paranapura.

As the day begins, embark on a morning wildlife excursion on the extraordinary Amazon River. After breakfast, explore the Tahuayo River, a black water tributary of the Amazon River, while our naturalist guides share stories of Amazonia. After lunch, we take a jungle walk at San Pedro or Puerto Prado's forest to learn about the Amazonian flora and fauna. At dusk, explore the Amazon River in search of exotic nocturnal wildlife.

In the morning, take a guided visit to the local market and marvel at the regional produce of the Peruvian Amazon. Return to Aria Amazon for breakfast before disembarkation. En route to the airport, visit the Manatee Rescue Center, where orphaned Amazonian manatees rehabilitate before they are released back into the wild.
