4 Night Cruise sailing from Nauta roundtrip Aria Amazon.

Low Water Itinerary

Day 1 Monday: IQUITOS - NAUTA - EMBARKATION - MARAÑON RIVER
We will meet at Iquitos International Airport then enjoy lunch either at a local restaurant or en route to the ship. The afternoon continues with an introduction to the historic city of Iquitos and the opportunity to meet an indigenous Amazon community.

In the evening, we will board Aria Amazon. Settle into your generously sized suite as you begin one of life’s greatest adventures. Following an introduction from our 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.

Day 2 Tuesday: UCAYALI RIVER - PACAYA RIVER
Start the day with an early-morning birdwatching session along the majestic Amazon River. Next, cruise along the Ucayali River while farmers and fishermen go about their day to-day business. Search for pink river dolphins in these pristine waters.

Later in the day, ride along the black waters of Pacaya River in search of nocturnal wildlife. End the night under the incredible stars of the Peruvian Amazon.

Day 3 Wednesday: PACAYA RIVER - UCAYALI RIVER - TAPICHE RIVER
The rewards of our early start today are plentiful, including a full day excursion along the Pacaya River, going deeper into the pristine habitats to spot great egrets, capuchin monkeys and taricaya turtles. After lunch, enjoy a paiche fishing demonstration. Later, venture out by skiff on the Ucayali River keeping an eye out for pink river dolphins.

Day 4 Thursday: CLAVERO LAKE - SAN JOSE DE SARAPANGA FOREST
Choose to go jungle walking, canoeing, kayaking or swimming on the black water Yarapa or Clavero River in the morning. Come afternoon, visit an Amazonian village and interact with the natives. Before dinner, meet the Aria Amazon crew who have been working behind the scenes to ensure an exceptional onboard experience.

Day 5 Friday: ARRIVAL IN NAUTA - MANATEE RESCUE CENTER -
In the morning, take a guided visit to the local market and marvel at the regional produce of the Peruvian Amazon, and sample exotic snacks if you wish.

Return to the 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.
