Day 4: Nauta
On the morning of our fourth day, you'll have breakfast and then travel to the city of Nauta by motorbike taxi.

Afterwards, we'll return to the boat for dinner and an evening boat ride.

Rise and shine! We'll get up at dawn to go and see pink dolphins. After we've had breakfast, you'll have some time to relax and swim in the Marañon River.
