Exploring the wonders of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve was an adventure we won’t forget. The lush landscapes and incredible wildlife had us captivated from the moment we arrived in Iquitos. Spending nights in cozy lodges surrounded by nature felt like a real escape, though we did wish for a bit more variety in the food options provided. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the local culture and ecosystem, making each day feel enriching. Overall, it was a fantastic way to bond with friends and immerse ourselves in a unique part of the world.

Our family spent three memorable days navigating through the lush landscapes of a stunning reserve, immersing ourselves in its vibrant ecosystem and diverse wildlife. The evenings spent on the river were magical, filled with the sounds of nature and a sky full of stars, allowing us to connect as a family away from the bustle of daily life. While the guided experiences were enriching, we occasionally felt rushed during some activities, which took away from the chance to really soak in the surroundings. Overall, the adventure provided us with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of untouched nature. It’s a journey we would recommend to anyone looking to bond with family while discovering the remarkable sights of this unique environment.
