10-Day Camino de Santiago in Luxury
It was an exhiliarating and awesome experience that exceeded all my expectations!
To start your tour, you’ll be picked up from either the airport in Iquitos or your hotel. This afternoon, you’ll take a boat ride up the mighty Amazon towards your lodge.
After getting settled, enjoy an evening excursion and a leisurely dinner.
The wooden lodge where you’re staying is built right over the water, on the edge of a “varzea” flood plain forest. There are plenty of ways you can explore this magnificent natural reserve! Be sure to plan your itinerary with your guides early so that you can be sure to fit in everything you’ll want to do.
For the next few days, you’re free to fish the nearby areas and take excursions as you please with your guides.
Your guides will help you select the perfect fishing spots on Lake Tapaje, Lake Charo, and the Tahuayo River.
You’ll want to try Quebrada Palmichal, an inlet known for its peacock butterfly bass, and Lake Tabano, a flooded forest and fish breeding ground.
The list of what you’ve caught is likely getting long by now!
When you’re ready for a break from fishing, you can choose to go hiking or canoeing to search for wildlife. The Canopy Experience ropes course and a visit to a native village are also unique experiences you can enjoy.
Today you’ll travel 15 km upriver to the Amazon Research Center. This lodge is so far away from any native village or lodge that you’ll have no one competing with you for fish!
You’ll spend your time here fishing in surrounding lakes and rivers. You’ll also have a full day to explore the islands near the mouth of the Tahuayo, where you can bird watch for sandpipers, herons, skimmers, and plovers.
There’s so much to do around this lodge, we recommend planning a few new excursions with your guide in between casts.
Try exploring the many surrounding trails and help photograph the saki monkeys for a current conservation project. After dinner, relax for the evening and enjoy the sunset.
It’s your last day in this area, so make sure you plan to fish any last spots or take any last excursions you’d like with your guide.
You won’t want to leave the idyllic Amazon tomorrow, so savour every second today. In the evening, you can head out to look for nocturnal species along the riverbanks.
Before breakfast, enjoy the final fishing trip of your Amazon adventure! You’re certainly going to have some catches to brag about back home by now.
You’ll return to the main lodge for lunch and then take the boat back to Iquitos. Your transfer will bring you to a hotel of your choice or the airport in Iquitos. Safe travels from here!
