South America Amazon Cruise

Delfin III Amazon River Cruise

Spend 4 or 5 days exploring the Peruvian Amazon and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve aboard the 43-guest river cruise ship Delfin III. If wildlife viewing is your goal, the Delfin III Amazon River Cruise is the perfect choice. Expert guides are dedicated to pointing out Amazon animals—creatures hidden deep within the rainforest, such as blue and yellow macaws, scarlet macaws, toucans, umbrella birds, monkeys, river otters, capybaras and more.

Highlights of the Delfin III Amazon Cruise include lengthy explorations aboard aluminum skiffs, sometimes taking breakfast aboard skiffs in order to take full advantage of wildlife viewing opportunities. Eight-passenger skiffs allow gentle, guided excursions to places like Yanayacu Pucate and the Fundo Casual jungle trail, within the best preserved and protected zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.

The 43-guest Delfin III immerses her passengers in the rainforest experience while simultaneously treating them to the highest levels of luxury. Beautifully finished with the finest details—panoramic windows, hardwood floors, designer furniture and handmade Peruvian artifacts—she is the perfect luxury river vessel for exploring as much wildlife as the Amazon has to offer.

The Delfin III offers high-water and low-water itineraries. High-water season is November to May and may allow for more extensive exploration and access via water. These months are ideal for travelers who prefer to duck into otherwise isolated corners of the reserve aboard speedy boats. Low-water season is June through October and may allow for more trail walks. This time of year is ideal for travelers who prefer to walk through the rainforest and discover its flora and fauna. All listed activities depend on water levels, weather and season. Travelers equipped with a sense of adventure and openness tend to enjoy their Delfin III journey in the Amazon rainforest even more.

Itinerary

5-Day High-Water Itinerary

The 5-Day High-Water Delfin III Amazon River Cruise operates round-trip from Iquitos, uniquely traveling along both the Maranon and the Ucayali River, which reaches the Pacaya River, the heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Both 5-day itineraries (High- & Low-Water) uniquely visit the Yarapa River and the confluence that forms the main stem of the Amazon River.

Day 1

TUE - Arrive Iquitos & Embark Nauta

Arrive to Iquitos and be met at the airport then transferred in a comfortable private vehicle to Nauta. Enjoy a boxed lunch on the way. Nauta is a small riverside town on the banks of the Marañon River and was the first city founded in the department of Loreto. Have a VIP greeting at the private port along the shores of the Marañon River where the vessel awaits.

Aboard Delfin III, qualified staff members introduce you to your exquisite and cozy suite, specially equipped with all the best amenities: orthopedic beds, pure cotton sheets, pillows of 100% pure natural latex, cotton bathrobes, air conditioning and private bathroom with Spanish style hot water showers all framed with a spacious private terrace. Fantastic panoramic views from the third deck observation area are complemented by exotic cocktails made with regional fruits and pisco, the beloved national brandy liquor of Peru. Your naturalist guide outlines the journey’s schedule, activities, route, highlights, wildlife and vegetation, geographical and historical background and other useful details to prepare you for your Amazon cruise. Tonight, enjoy a beautiful and interesting documentary at the indoor lounge: “Rivers of the Sun.”

Day 2

WED - Yanallpa & Dorado River

This morning, consider getting up early to watch birds. Jump on the skiffs and head to an area with large trees and old palm trees, watching for several parrot species and a number of other birds. Look for red-bellied macaws, as well different types of raptors, woodpeckers and swallows. Hope to hear loud and distinctive sounds of blue and yellow macaws.

In the afternoon, search for Amazon wildlife along the Dorado River and experience the biodiversity of the region with expert guides who have spent their lives in the area. Enjoy myriad bird species, colorful butterflies and other diverse insects and noisy monkey troops throughout the day. When the night shift begins, encounter a whole new world of adventure.

Day 3

THU - Pacaya River & Magdalena

The Pacaya River at the very heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Peru’s largest protected area has a mean annual rainfall of nearly 3,000 millimeters and is the largest protected wetland reserve in the world. Filled with lakes, palm swamps and streams, the reserve becomes a flooded forest in the high-water season and is sure to be one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever visit. Enjoy the chance to swim in one of the most pristine Amazon lagoons in this wonderful region.

After lunch, skiff to the narrower channels to explore the thick rainforest, looking for some of the more typical and iconic birds of the New World tropics, such as the lettered aracari toucan, the straightbilled woodcreeper and the white-eared jacamar. Later on, travel near Flor de Castaña for an opportunity to swim among pink dolphins. After dinner, join in a movie night to watch “Fitzcarraldo” at the indoor lounge.

Day 4

FRI - Yarapa River, Fundo Casual & Confluence

After breakfast, intimately explore the Yarapa River, listening closely for the sounds from within the mysterious jungle. Traveling down a wide creek to an attractive hidden lagoon, absorb the beauty of the landscape and look for wildlife like hawks, terns, herons and monkeys chattering close by. Travel past many more inhabitants of the Amazon and learn how the ribereños are an important part of this complex bionetwork and how your presence here could make a difference to the future of this magical land of the Incas. Look out for specific types of animals like the pygmy marmoset, squirrel monkey and perhaps even the monk saki. This medium-sized monkey with the thick fur and bushy tail seems better dressed for the Arctic than the Amazon.

After lunch, appreciate one of the most important zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve: Fundo Casual. The walk at Fundo Casual jungle trail heads deep into the rainforest on terra firma (non-flooded forest) where the guide will point out dynamic creatures and Amazonian vegetation. Be sure to keep an attentive eye open for spotting surprises! It’s almost unbelievable how with every step you find something along the way. Almost definitely anaconda, rainbow boas, tarantulas, poison frogs and most recently porcupines have been spotted. This is one of the very few places in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve Amazon Rainforest where one can spot the ever-so-elusive two-toed sloth.

At the confluence, as the naturalist guide points out various creatures, the landscape adorned by the usual colors of the sun’s reflections is a great photo opportunity for the cruise’s last Amazon Rainforest Sunset.

With heavy hearts, the staff wishes you farewell. Disembark at the port of Nauta and travel by private vehicle to the city of Iquitos, about a 60-mile journey by paved road. On the way, visit the Rescue & Rehabilitation Center of River Mammals (Amazon Forever) for the chance to meet baby manatees and learn why these wonderful and docile creatures are on the endangered species list. Have the opportunity to pet and feed these kind manatees, as well as other animals cared for by the center that have been rescued from capture and other threatening conditions. Donations to this ambitious organization are welcome. At the airport, land personnel await with your boarding passes to help you check in at Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport in Iquitos.
