Established in 1964, 80 km (50 mi) down the Amazon
River, Explorama Lodge is deep in primary rainforest. Romantic kerosene torches and lamps illuminate
palm-thatched houses with 10-17 private sleeping rooms. Covered
connecting walkways lead to the Tahuampa Bar, the Dining Room, the Sun
Porch and two Hammock Houses. Showers & toilet facilities adjoin each
house.
On the Napo River, 160 km (100 mi) from Iquitos, EXPLORNAPO provides
access to the pristine forest of Explorama´s Sucusari Reserve, as well
as access to the adjoining Amazon Canopy Walkway, one of the longest
treetop walkways in the world. This adventure offers the opportunity to
live in an authentic Amazon River style with palm-thatched houses,
kerosene lighting and open-hearth cooking in a rainforest surrounding.
Room, shower and toilet facilities are identical to those of Explorama
Lodge. The recommended 5 day / 4 night program, provides the opportunity
to take special rainforest treks and excursions into the surrounding
primeval forest in an area named by scientists as the “Biodiversity
Capital of the World ”.
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 Ethnobotanical 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

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.

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, L;
