In northern Peru the clear waters of the Marañon River carves a deep canyon and flows through it into the lowlands of northeastern Peru. There it joins the muddy brown waters of the Ucayali River that originates in southern Peru and flows north into the lowlands. This confluence is the geographical beginning of the mighty Amazon River and is home to many amazonian birds found nowhere else in the world. Our tour of the Peruvian Amazon visits all 4 birding locales just downstream from where these two rivers come together near the lowland city of Iquitos.

Our tour begins with an early morning flight from Lima to Iquitos in the Peruvian Amazon followed by a 3-hour boat transfer to the ACT Canopy Walkway Lodge located on the Sucusari River, a tributary of the Napo River in the Peruvian Amazon. After 3 full days birding there, we transfer to the nearby Explornapo Lodge where we'll stay for the next 2 days. We then return to Iquitos for 3 nights to accommodate 2 full days of birding in the nearby Allpahuayo-Mishana Reserve and along the Iquitos-Nauta Road. We then drive 2-hours south from Iquitos and take an hour-long boat ride up the Amazon River to Muyuna Amazon Lodge, where we'll devote 4 full days of birding there. The tour ends with a boat transfer back to Iquitos followed by an evening flight to Lima.
