Our last full day in the Amazon rainforest was full of great surprises. We started the day with a walk in the forest where we found incredible wildlife, and finished with a heartwarming visit to a beautiful community called Amazonas.

Delfin II
Iricahua and Yanallpa, Upper Amazon, Peru
This morning, we embarked on an early skiff excursion along the tranquil waters of the Iricahua Stream. The stillness of the morning was accompanied by the gentle sounds of the rainforest awakening. After a brief and refreshing rainshower, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast aboard the skiffs. The experience of dining amidst such natural beauty, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Amazon, was truly unforgettable. We avoided the warmest hours of the day while enjoying various presentations on board. Isaac, a Delfin II bartender, taught us how to prepare Pisco sours and also gave us dancing lessons. In the afternoon, we went for a guided walk in the Yanallpa area. The highlight was an encounter with the elusive pygmy marmoset, the world’s smallest monkey. We observed these tiny primates as they nimbly navigated the trees, their curious eyes watching us as intently as we watched them. This rare sighting offered a profound connection to the rich biodiversity of the Amazon.
