🐒 Around Iquitos, the Amazon is full of life! Imagine that in the rainforest reserve surrounding our camp alone, we have 14 different species of primates recorded. From tiny tamarins and squirrel monkeys to powerful howler monkeys and elusive saki monkeys, every hike offers the chance for an unforgettable encounter.

No two jungle walks are ever the same. Every day brings new surprises, making each expedition a unique wildlife experience.

🌿🚤 Exploring the Amazon by boat!

Our boat can comfortably transport up to 6 passengers, allowing us to reach some of the most beautiful and remote places in the Peruvian Amazon.

One of these hidden gems is this stunning white sand beach on the Nanay River—a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the scenery, and experience the wild beauty of the rainforest far from the crowds.

Every journey on the river is an adventure, with opportunities to discover wildlife, visit local communities, and explore pristine Amazonian landscapes.

🦜🌿 Every bird sighting is special.

Sometimes a bird lands just a few meters away, giving us incredible views and photo opportunities. Other times, we spot them high in the canopy or flying across the river in the distance. Whether near or far, every observation is exciting.

Around our camp, more than 500 species of birds have been recorded, making every day in the rainforest a new adventure. From colorful toucans and parrots to elusive antbirds and canopy specialists, you never know what the next sighting will be.

That's one of the things I love most about birdwatching in the Amazon: every walk, boat trip, and day in the field brings the possibility of discovering something new.

📸 Some sightings last only a few seconds. Others give us time to admire every detail. But every single one is a memorable experience.

What is your favorite bird you've ever seen in the wild?

The Horned Screamer is just one of the more than 500 bird species that can be found in the area around our camp. Every excursion offers the chance to discover something new, from colorful toucans and parrots to elusive forest birds hidden deep within the Amazon rainforest. 🐦🌿🦜

During the high-water season, which normally peaks around May, reptiles are often basking in bushes above the flooded forest. Sometimes we're lucky enough to find a Caiman Lizard, and occasionally even an Anaconda.

Which one would you prefer to spot in the wild: a Caiman Lizard or an Anaconda? 🐊🐍

This year, we made an important investment in our camera equipment to better document and share the incredible wildlife of the Peruvian Amazon. 🌿📸

We added a Nikon Coolpix P1100 with an impressive 3000mm zoom lens, a GoPro 13 Black, and a new phone to our gear. With this equipment, we hope to capture even more of the extraordinary biodiversity that surrounds us here near Iquitos — from rare birds and primates to hidden rainforest life.

Our goal is to use these photos and videos for many years to come, bringing the beauty of the Amazon closer to all of you and raising awareness about its importance.

Every client who joins our tours helps us grow our business, create jobs for the local community, and protect more habitat for wildlife. Your support has a direct impact, and for that we are deeply grateful.

Together, we are not only exploring the rainforest — we are helping preserve it for future generations.

11 Most Feared Animals of the Amazon 🌿

The Amazon is home to some truly fascinating — and sometimes intimidating — creatures. Here are those that often earn the most respect from locals and visitors alike:

① Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) – The heaviest snake in the world, capable of taking large prey in the water.
② Red Piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) – Famous for their razor-sharp teeth and fast attacks, though rarely dangerous to humans.
③ Black Caiman (Melanosuchus niger) – A large, powerful predator of rivers and lakes.
④ Arapaima / Paiche (Arapaima gigas) – Not dangerous to humans, but incredibly strong; can leap and strike with force.
⑤ Freshwater Stingray (Potamotrygon motoro and others) – Its venomous stinger causes intense pain and serious wounds.
⑥ Bushmaster (Lachesis muta) – One of the largest and most venomous vipers in South America.
⑦ Amazon Scorpion (Tityus obscurus) – Painful sting and potentially dangerous.
⑧ Bullet Ant (Paraponera clavata) – Known for delivering the most painful insect sting in the world.
⑨ Tarantula – The largest spider by mass, impressive in size and strength.
⑩ Candiru – A tiny parasitic fish, infamous (and feared) for its extremely rare but notorious habit of entering body openings.
⑪ Electric Eel (Electrophorus electricus) – Can deliver a shock of up to 600 volts, enough to stun large animals and even deter predators.

🐾 The Amazon isn’t just dangerous — it’s full of wonder and surprises. Respect the wildlife, and you’ll discover an incredible world few get to experience!
