Visit The Bora Tribe

Prepare to delve into the rich tapestry of Amazonian culture and biodiversity as we embark on a dual adventure to visit the Bora Tribe and Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm.

Our adventure begins as we navigate the bustling waters of the Itaya River, passing by the vibrant ports of Iquitos. As we glide along, marvel at the diverse array of vessels that call these waters home – from massive barges and sturdy pusher boats to bustling cargo ships and charming local cruise ships.

Continuing our voyage, we set our sights on the majestic Amazon River, where we witness the awe-inspiring confluence of two mighty rivers. Here, the rich brown waters of the Amazon meet the dark currents of the Itaya River, creating a breathtaking spectacle of nature’s beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of playful dolphins frolicking in the waters as we traverse through this aquatic wonderland.

Our journey takes us further upstream, as we navigate the tranquil Nanay River, passing beneath the towering Nanay Bridge – a feat of engineering stretching nearly 3 kilometers in length. As we meander along the winding currents of the Momon River, enveloped by the lush greenery of the rainforest, you’ll find yourself immersed in the serene beauty of this natural paradise.

Our first destination brings us to the ancestral lands of the Bora Tribe, an indigenous community with a deep connection to the rainforest. Immerse yourself in their vibrant culture as we are welcomed with open arms into their village. Engage with community members, learn about their traditional way of life, and gain insight into their ancient customs and rituals. From intricate handicrafts to mesmerizing dance performances, every moment spent with the Bora Tribe offers a glimpse into their proud heritage.

Next, we journey to the enchanting Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm, a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of Amazonian butterflies and other native species. Step into a world of vibrant colors and delicate beauty as we wander through lush gardens teeming with fluttering wings. Marvel at the dazzling array of butterflies as they flit and dance around you, and learn about their crucial role in pollination and ecosystem health.

But the magic doesn’t end there – at Pilpintuwasi, you’ll also have the opportunity to encounter a variety of other exotic creatures, from playful monkeys to majestic jaguars. Gain a deeper understanding of the intricate web of life that thrives within the Amazon rainforest and the efforts being made to protect it for future generations.
