Experience the wonders of Peru's wilderness while camping in the Amazon Rainforest
Looking to escape into the depths of the rainforest? Experience the ultimate amazon tour in Peru on the 8-Day Guided Amazon Camping Adventure. Camping in the Amazon rainforest is a special experience for so many reasons and one that should be near the top of every adventurer's bucket list. On your very own Peruvian Amazon tour, you’ll set out from a wilderness lodge perched above the river to embark on jungle camping expeditions and survival lessons, learning how to thrive in the rainforest. Tailor your excursions to build the perfect trip for you, viewing wildlife, hiking, and exploring by boat.
Once you’ve acclimatized to life in the rainforest with a few overnights at a remote wilderness lodge, you’ll hike with your two guides to find your perfect Amazon jungle camp. You’ll be spending four days hiking and exploring this rainforest oasis, as you learn from your experienced guides about survival in this unique environment. You’ll learn to identify important medicinal plants, what you can eat, and how to find the perfect amazon rainforest camp. Each night you’ll be falling asleep to the wild sounds of the jungle all around you. You’ll end your trip feeling like a true survivalist, armed with a wealth of exciting stories to share about your camping experience in the Amazon rainforest!
You can arrange to have your transfer meet you at Iquitos Airport or your hotel in Iquitos to begin your tour. From here you’ll take a speedboat up the river to the lodge.
You’ll arrive at Tahuayo Lodge in time for dinner and an evening excursion.
You’ll be spending today and tomorrow at the lodge, where you’ll be getting to know your guides and getting adjusted to life in the rainforest.
You’ll want to take advantage of all the activities you can do from the lodge, including a hike through the varzea forest and the canopy ropes course!
The same as yesterday, you’re free to spend today enjoying the nearby activities and getting settled in the Amazon.
Today on your Amazon camping adventure, you’ll pack your things and join your two guides on a boat towards the terra firme forest where you’ll be camping.
You’ll hike into the wilderness and your guides will show you the best way to choose a campsite. As you set up camp for the night, you’ll also learn about starting a fire in the rainforest and how to find sources of pure water.
You’ll be spending the next few days exploring the jungle and learning skills that are important for surviving the wild jungle.
First, your guides will teach you about the fruits, plants, and insects that you can eat in the forest. Then, you’ll get a lesson on how to build traps and snares for fishing. They’ll also show you how to build a raft and tools for hunting and fishing from the jungle resources.
Today, the jungle lessons continue as your guides show you the tricks to surviving in this buzzing environment.
Enjoy another night camping underneath the canopy.
This morning on your camping in the Amazon Rainforest adventure, you’ll learn about natural survival medicines, your last jungle lesson.
After breaking down your campsite, you’ll hike out of the woods and return to the lodge by boat.
You’ll be able to choose the final excursion this morning. Perhaps an early morning boat ride to spot caiman or fish for piranha?
Afterwards, you’ll take the boat back to Iquitos in the afternoon and your transfer will take you to the airport for your flight. Safe travels!

I’ve been using 10A route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10A made that happen.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.

I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!

Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!

Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!

I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!

I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
