The Iquitos jungle in Chilean pesos: 10 Amazon expeditions compared, from a full day to the cruise (2026)

The Iquitos jungle in Chilean pesos: 10 Amazon expeditions compared, from a full day to the cruise (2026)

10 Iquitos jungle expeditions priced 9 Sep 2026: from CLP $65,590 the full-day safari to CLP $1,607,411 the 4-day Pacaya Samiria cruise. Plus what dollar lists skip: what you pay on the side.

Prices below are seasonal promotional rates per person, verified at checkout on 9 September 2026 — whatever checkout shows is the price. You pay in Chilean pesos (CLP); US dollar figures are approximations at 900 CLP per USD, stated once. Most iqu-* listings are USD-native (IZI), so the peso can move ~0.4%/day.

An Iquitos jungle expedition runs from CLP $65,590 (≈US$73, full-day Amazon safari) to CLP $1,607,411 (≈US$1,786, 4-day Pacaya Samiria cruise) per person (9 Sep 2026). In between there is a full ladder: 2 days with a camp night CLP $143,189, 3 days CLP $220,788, all-inclusive lodge CLP $265,000, 4 days CLP $276,216, 5 days CLP $331,644, and Pacaya Samiria in 3 or 4 days at CLP $382,453 and $515,480.

The lists you find sell in dollars or euros, by the night. Here are the 10 programs by price, in the currency you actually pay, with what each one includes and — the number that decides the real budget — what sits outside.

In Iquitos the variable is not what you see — dolphins, monkeys, piranhas and communities show up on almost every program. The variable is how many nights you sleep in the jungle and how far in. That is what moves the price from CLP $65,590 to $1,607,411.

The 10 expeditions, with what each one includes

  • Amazon safari, full day — CLP $65,590 (≈US$73) — hotel/airport pick-up, day’s meals, excursions; return airport transfer extra
  • Iquitos jungle, 2D/1N camp — CLP $143,189 (≈US$159) — camp, meals; return airport extra
  • Rainforest escape, 3D/2N camp — CLP $220,788 (≈US$245) — same camp ladder

What you pay separately

  • Flights: none include them except the CLP $741,811 program (Lima–Iquitos–Lima, 23 kg). Iquitos has no road — the flight is a required line in the budget.
  • Return airport transfer: camp programs include the first hotel/airport pick-up; the ride back to the airport is extra.
  • Bar drinks, snacks and personal water: extra on camp programs and the lodge.
  • On the cruise: lunch and dinner include one drink each; premium bar extra; binocular rental US$10 for the cruise; bring your own torch.
  • Cruise tips: the listing suggests US$30/passenger/night for crew and US$20 for guides, at your discretion. Three nights ≈ US$150 extra.
  • Pacaya Samiria reserve entry: already in on the three programs that enter the reserve (two safaris + cruise).

One day: the full-day safari

If you are short on time, the full-day safari (CLP $65,590) concentrates the classic river circuit: Amazon navigation from Bellavista Nanay, the meeting of waters, grey or pink dolphins on the way, a kukama community and the monkey island. Hotel or airport pick-up, the day’s meals and the program excursions are in; the return airport transfer and drinks are out.

The camp ladder, 2 to 5 days

Each extra jungle night on the Momón camp ladder costs in a tight band. 2 days CLP $143,189 · 3 days CLP $220,788 · 4 days CLP $276,216 · 5 days CLP $331,644. Same grammar: pick-up in, return airport out, meals in, bar out.

Lodge vs the same nights in camp

Sinchicuy Lodge 3D/2N (CLP $265,000) is the all-inclusive lodge rung: a real bed instead of camp, still 3 days. Bar and laundry extra. It sits just under the 4-day camp (CLP $276,216) — you are paying for the lodge, not an extra night.

Pacaya Samiria, and the listing that already has the flight

Pacaya Samiria 3 days CLP $382,453 or 4 days CLP $515,480 — reserve entry in. The CLP $741,811 program is the same 4D/3N jungle idea plus the Lima↔Iquitos flight, 23 kg, a final city tour and Quistococha — that is why it is not a duplicate of the CLP $276,216 camp.

The cruise rung

Amatista 4D/3N Sunday (CLP $1,607,411) is the cheapest cabin in a 10-listing family that runs up to about CLP $8.1M on the 8-day Zafiro (Sep 2026 ES notes — confirm checkout). Four days in Pacaya Samiria in camp (CLP $515,480) is less than a third of this cruise — the gap is camp vs air-con cabin and buffet.
