Hi, I want to visit Monkey Island and the Manatee center on the same day. I only have one free day Isquitos. Arrivng from Lima around 10:45am. Is it possible to cram both places in one day? if so, how can this be arranged? I don't mind hiring a private guide, as long as the price is reasonable. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

Dear Ishtar, Thanks for contact us! My name is Lucero and I work in The Monkeys Island's office. We have some options for you to visit the island. I'll explain you each of them so you can choose the one you want. The manatees recue center is in another way. You'd have to go some other day. FULL DAY, includes: • All the transportation costs. We pick you up and leave you in your hotel and take you to the island in a private boat. • Private guide • First stop at the "Fundo Don Pedrito" for you to see the paiche fish (The biggest fish from the Amazon) and another species. • Then we go to the island. • A welcome drink. • Then, you can spend the day on the Island. We take you on a trip in a canoe (Now that the river is high). When the river is down, we make walking trips through the jungle. • You can fish and swim. • A complete lunch like a buffet, is included too. Price: US$ 90 per person (adults) / Based in 2 passengers US$ 70 per person (adults) / 3 passengers or more Note: Booking and payment, 1 day in advance. Hour: From 8 am. to 4 pm. You can also go by yourself. You just need to take a "speed boat" from the Producers Port. It will take you until a place called "Varadero" in Mazan and it costs S/.15.00 ($5 dollars approx.) When you're in the port, please call us BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PORT to any of the phone numbers that are at the bottom of this e-mail and tell us the name of the speed boat you're travelling, so we can call to the island and send a "peque peque boat" to Varadero to pick you up. To this "peque peque boat", you need to pay S/.5.00 each one ($2 dollars approx.) The entry to the island cost S/.20.00 ($6.50 approx.) If you go this way, you can stay on the island the time that the tour is that is 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I hope that you can visit us! If you have any other question or doubt, please feel free to contact us, calling or visit our office. The address and our phone numbers are at the bottom of this e-mail. Please also follow us in our social networks! Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon! Best regards, Lucero

Monkey Island, AWESOME!

We had the morning before our flight home. So glad we did this, the monkeys were adorable and we really enjoyed spending time here! Takes about an hour to get there from Iquitos, enjoyable boat ride down the Amazon.

Surprisingly nice park

In the midst of a dilapidated city is this surprisingly nice park its grass, benches, some plantings. Try to ignore the trash that seems ubiquitous in Peru.
