After arriving on a noon flight (separate arrangements can be made for morning arrivals), receive a warm welcome at Iquitos International Airport by Aqua Expeditions crew and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before boarding Aqua Nera. Settle into your generously sized suite as you begin one of life's greatest adventures. Following an introduction from the naturalist guides and a routine safety drill, gather at the restaurant for the first of many Amazonian cuisine experiences created by Aqua Nera's renowned consulting chef, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino.; Notes: Recommended Flights LATAM — group transfer between airport and port included if booked on flights recommended by Aqua Expeditions.
