These are sidetrips, all worthy of seeing, but usually secondary to the main purpose visitors come to the Peruvian Amazon. Most visitors stay at one of the all-inclusive lodges, participate in lodge-sponsored activities such as excursions into the jungle, visits to native villages, such as the Yaguana Indians who are famed blowgun hunters, birding, nightime caiman hunting and more activies led by trained guides who may be naturalists.
Other travelers arrange their river excursions themselves, on site, which may be on boats with little or no amenities, where cramped deck space and monotonous meals based on fish and rice are the norm,or they may be on new, air-conditioned boats with private cabins and hot showers. Naturally, the price varies.
