In several of the lodges in Iquitos you can enjoy observing flora and fauna. Nature lovers can participate in bird watching, an activity focused on the contemplation and study of wild birds. Generally, this activity is done at dawn, since you can see and hear the birdsong. There are also boat trips looking for the two types of river dolphins, gray and pink, and along the way you will have the opportunity to visit a small community of the Yagua Natives, where your guide will explain about their culture. There will be an opportunity to see some of the local crafts and also a demonstration of the use of the blowgun, which, today, some of the Yaguas still use for hunting.

Many of the lodges in Iquitos also offer jungle walks, which consist of walking through natural settings such as white sand beaches, rainforests or rivers. These walks are usually during the day or at night, depending on the visitor’s taste. Visitors also take part in canoe/boat rides, an activity that is carried out in a traditional boat of the region, which is characterized by being made of wood. There are two types of canoes, one with a roof made of palm leaves and the other without a roof, in the open air.
