Highlights
The Amazon River is home to thousands of fascinating creatures, each playing a unique role in the jungle's delicate ecosystem. One of its most legendary inhabitants is the red-bellied piranha – a fierce-looking fish that has captured the imagination of Hollywood for decades. Measuring around 25 to 30 cm, this grayish-red predator has a reputation for being dangerous, but the truth is far more surprising. Despite their fearsome appearance, piranhas rarely attack humans. In fact, people living near the Amazon and Nanay Rivers bathe in these waters every day, peacefully coexisting with these misunderstood creatures. Join us and experience the thrill of catching these iconic fish in their natural habitat – a true jungle adventure!

About Iquitos
Iquitos is a river city in the Peruvian Amazon, reached only by air or water, a port of rubber-boom mansions and stilt-house neighbourhoods.
Iquitos stands on the Amazon in the Peruvian rainforest, and no road links it to the rest of the country; people and goods arrive by river or by air. The city flourished in the late nineteenth-century rubber boom, and some mansions of that time survive, with tiled façades, around the Plaza de Armas. The Malecón Tarapacá, a riverfront promenade, looks out over the water.
