Nanay River

The Nanay River, a slow tributary of the Amazon, meanders along the northern border of Iquitos, a city nestled in the Peruvian rainforest. When water levels drop, rare white-sand beaches emerge, providing a unique contrast to the lush green surroundings. Lodges lining the riverbanks offer various experiences, from day trips and upriver journeys into the wilderness to visits to native Yagua, Bora, and Mestizo communities, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the local culture and natural beauty.
