EXPLORAMA & EXPLORNAPO LODGE
4 DAYS TOUR
The Explorama Lodge Reserve, located 80 kilometers down the Amazon from
Iquitos, has been protected by Explorama since 1964
The rainfall here may be at highest in any month of the year, depending
upon the year studied. This lack of a defined dry or wet season, through
which many species of plants and animals would be unable to survive, is
believed to be the major reason for the extremely high diversity in both
flora and fauna, which has given this part of the Amazon Basin the title
of "The Biodiversity Capital of the World".
The ExplorNapo reserve includes the area occupied by ExplorNapo which
started as a very rustic palm-thatched covered split-palm sleeping platform
and is now a lodge with rooms, a large hammock house and screened dining
room. The newest of the Explorama reserves in this area is the Sucusari
Reserve, a recently purchased piece of land with over 50% secondary forest
which we hope to nurture back to primary status.

DAY 1 IQUITOS - EXPLORAMA LODGE
Reception at the airport, brief city orientation and transfer to
the Explorama dock. Fifty mile journey down the Amazon River to
Yanamono Stream where Explorama Lodge is located. Afternoon hike
along the "Lake Trail" through lowland rainforest which
is seasonally flooded. During the high water season, this excursion
is done by open boat! After dinner, there is a chance to visit the
Lodge's "Bar Tahuampa" where local musicians often play
guitar and flute music or the guides will also be pleased to have
you invite them to relate some of the many legends of the Amazon
forest. Overnight at Explorama Lodge (L, D)
DAY 2 EXPLORAMA LODGE - EXPLORNAPO LODGE
After breakfast, a boat ride down the Amazon and up the Napo River
to the ExplorNapo Reserve and ExplorNapo Lodge. Afternoon visit
to the RenuPeru Ethno-botanical Garden located next to ExplorNapo
and tended by a local shaman. This garden is used to show visitors
rainforest plants used in modern medicine as well as examples of
native plant remedies which science may utilize in the future. Evening
excursion by open boat along the Sucusari Stream in search of caiman
and to enjoy the night sounds and stars of the Southern sky. Overnight
at ExplorNapo Lodge (B, L, D)
DAY 3 EXPLORNAPO LODGE
Morning hike to the Canopy Walkway, a suspended bridge spanning
500 meters (one-third of a mile) connected by tree platforms and
reaching a height of over 35 meters (115 feet) above the ground.
Here you encounter a "bird's eye view" of part of the
rainforest rarely seen by man but accessible without any type of
climbing skill or equipment. Afternoon boating excursion along one
of the many Napo tributaries spotting along the way for birds and
sloth. A stop is included for a try at river fishing with cane poles
or a chance to swim. Overnight at ExplorNapo Lodge (B, L, D)
DAY 4 EXPLORNAPO LODGE - IQUITOS
Morning excursion to a black water oxbow lake formed when water
from the Napo River became separated from the main flow of the river.
These lakes are often covered with giant Victoria Regia water lilies
and sometimes offer a glimpse of the elusive Hoatzin bird. Afternoon
boat trip back to Iquitos passing the town of Francisco de Orellana,
where a statue is erected to the intrepid explorer who became the
first European to see the Amazon River in 1542. Transfer to the
airport for departure. (B, Lunch if departure flight permits)
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ever-changing nature of
the rainforest, day-by-day activities may vary due to local conditions
