Butterflies, dolphins, and a 250-year-old tree at the spiritual heart of the jungle.
A private excursion led by an expert English-speaking local guide, beginning at the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly House and Animal Rescue Center, continuing by boat to the real confluence of the Amazon, Nanay, and Itaya Rivers, and ending at a 250-year-old Lupuna tree considered the spiritual heart of the jungle.
This excursion blends real stops with cultural context led by a single dedicated local guide. You'll watch for pink river dolphins along the way to the Comunidad de Independencia, where the ancient Lupuna tree stands as one of the largest in the Peruvian Amazon.

Pilpintuwasi, whose name means house of butterflies in Quechua, began in 2002 as a breeding project for butterflies and grew into a rescue center for animals confiscated from wildlife trafficking. It sits on the banks of the Nanay River and was founded by an Austrian woman who first came to work with butterflies.
Iquitos sits among several rivers, and the tour follows the water to where they meet. The Marañón and Ucayali join much further upstream to form what Peru calls the Amazon, while the Nanay and Itaya are tributaries that reach the Amazon near the city, so the confluence here is the meeting of the city's own rivers with the main stream.
The Lupuna is the Amazonian name for Ceiba pentandra, the kapok tree, which can reach roughly 50 meters with a trunk over 3 meters across. Many Amazonian peoples regard these trees as sacred, believing spirits or deities live in them, which is why the tour presents it as more than a big tree.
