Experience the magic of the Amazon with Yampu Tours. Your Amazon journey takes off on arrival in Iquitos, where you will be met and transferred to the Delfin I.

During your river cruise you will easily spot parrots, macaws and monkeys, including the popular monk Saki monkey with a gray and black body, naked face and long shaggy tail. You might also see the saddle back tamarin monkey, whose high chirping notes can easily be confused with those of a flock of birds.
