Today was truly remarkable. Every day in the Amazon is an adventure, but this morning, right after breakfast, we ventured deep into the heart of the Pacaya River. For several hours, we were surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, vibrant colors, and the rich aromas of the jungle. Along the way, we encountered macaws, capybaras, large black caimans, red howler monkeys, and thousands of birds. We even enjoyed lunch at a ranger station catered by Delfin II galley staff, before returning to the ship for some rest. In the afternoon, we set off again for a peaceful skiff ride along the Ucayali River, taking in the beauty of the forest until sunset.
Delfin II continued its journey upstream along the Ucayali River, and our morning visit took us to a stunning beach that serves as a nesting site for various birds, including sand hawks, terns, and stilts. Our guests even had the opportunity to enjoy a mud therapy session, using the nutrient-rich sediments of the Ucayali River. Later in the afternoon, we embarked on the skiffs for a night excursion along the Pacaya River. The symphony of sounds and the abundance of wildlife—from monkeys to caimans—made it an unforgettable experience for our travelers.
Today was the first full day of our exploration in the Upper Amazon, and it could not have started better! At sunrise, we set off on skiffs to explore Clavero Lake, a serene blackwater oxbow lake, home to a vibrant array of birdlife and the mysterious pink river dolphins. We even enjoyed a delightful breakfast aboard our skiffs, surrounded by the beauty of the lake and forest. In the afternoon, we strolled through an orchard near the Yanallpa community, which happens to be the habitat of the world’s smallest monkey, the pygmy marmoset. After a short walk into the forest, we were excited to spot them, allowing our travelers not only to witness these tiny creatures up close, but also to capture stunning photos. It was truly a magical start to our adventure!
