The beautiful Ceiba Tops Lodge is located on the banks of the Amazon River, just 40 km (25 mi) from Iquitos. The comfortable suites are all air-conditioned, and each has a private bathroom, and the Amazonian rainforest setting is truly wonderful. With elaborate gardens, a swimming pool, a hammock house, and a lounge, the lodge is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding Amazon jungle. You can also enjoy many different excursions available, both on foot and on the river.

We will pick you up from the Iquitos Airport or your hotel, and after a quick tour of Iquitos City, we’ll head to the Explorama dock to board our boat to The Ceiba Tops Lodge. We’ll then head off on a 40 km boat ride down the Amazon River to Ceiba Tops Lodge. After settling in and seeing the grounds and facilities, we will enjoy lunch. We will then head out on an afternoon hike in this beautiful primary rainforest reserve that surrounds the Lodge, with many huge trees bedecked with epiphytes, and “air plants” that grow in the trees!
After a tasty dinner, your guide will take you on a short walk to a small lake where you can see caiman. You’ll also hear the cacophony of jungle sounds that begin after dark. This sound made by insects, frogs, and other creatures who call the rainforest home will serenade you each evening as you sleep in the middle of the rainforest.

In the morning we’ll take a boat ride to the small indigenous community of the Yagua people. Here, your guide will tell you all about the culture of the Yagua people, and how they were affected by the arrival of Europeans and the passing of time. You’ll also see the local crafts, and have a demonstration of the blowgun that some of the Yagua elders still use for hunting – you can have a go yourself, too!
We will head back to the Lodge for lunch, then in the afternoon, we will head out on a walking excursion to the neighboring town of Indiana. Originally a Franciscan mission, Indiana has grown into a large river community with its own market, high school, and even a small hospital!
We will then head back to Ceiba Tops Lodge for dinner and a well-earned rest!
* Please Note That The Exact Activities depend on the Season.
We will depart Ceiba Tops at sunrise, to travel by speedboat along the Amazon and Napo Rivers to the Amazon Rainforest Reserve and the ExplorNapo Lodge. You will arrive just in time for breakfast! After breakfast, we’ll have a 45-minute hike in pristine rainforest until we reach the wonderful Canopy Walkway. The walkway is a suspended bridge spanning over 500 meters (one-third of a mile), connected by platforms in the trees and reaching a height of more than 35 meters (115 feet) above the ground. From this vantage point, we can see the Amazon Rainforest as few humans ever have, without any type of climbing skill or equipment, and suitable for all ages.
Afterwards, we’ll have lunch at ExplorNapo and then visit the ReNuPeRu Ethnobotanical Garden. There are over 240 species of plants tended by a shaman and his assistants. These plants have a variety of uses, perhaps most importantly for their medicinal qualities. Your guide will translate as the shaman explains many of the qualities of these plants, and the important role they play in spiritual healing practices.
Afterwards, we’ll return to Ceiba Tops where you can relax and spend time in the pool before dinner.
* Please Note That The Exact Activities depend on the Season.
On our final day, we will head out on a boating or walking excursion to enjoy the rainforest surrounding Ceiba Tops. If you prefer, you can spend your time relaxing at the hammock house or enjoy the pool and Ceiba Tops gardens.
This marks the end of the wonderful Ceiba Tops experience. In the afternoon, we’ll take you back to Iquitos and either drop you off at the airport (if you have a flight to catch) or take you to your hotel. If your flight plans allow it, we can also take you somewhere for breakfast and/or lunch.
Note: Due to the ever-changing nature of the rainforest, the order of day-by-day activities is subject to change due to weather, as well as trail and river conditions.

We truly had an incredle experience from booking with Maria, to meeting Miguel upon arrival at the airport, and of course trekking with our incredible guide Aldo and the amazing porters who helped make trekking much more comfortable and luxurious than we're used to. We couldn't believe the 3 course meals they cooked up. Truly blew us away.
The trek itself is incredible as you're able to see so many Inca sites along the way before arriving to Macchupicchu. The mountain range was beautiful.
Aldo our guide was the best! He was very information and taught us so much about the incas and knew so much about all the trees, wildlife, and fauna we saw along the trek. He's been guiding for many years and thanks to his experience and forethought we managed to catch amazing views away from the other groups of trekkers and were the first to arrive to Macchupicchu making for an even more private experience. I highly recommend Aldo!
Valencia travel is a local company that supports all the locals they employ. I highly recommend them for any bookings!
**tip: definitely give yourself 3 days in Cusco before hiking in order to acclimate to the altitude. We saw a couple turn around due to issues with altitude.

The Porters and Chef Filex were exceptional and went above and beyond with all our needs.
I was surprised with a Birthday Cake on our hike, and I had no idea someone could make and decorate a cake in a tent.
It was incredibly mind-blowing.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to do the Inca Trail.
We are extremely pleased with the service we received.
I give them A++++++
Un’altro aspetto importante è stata la guida per Macchu Picchu, Washington! Super appassionato del posto e della storia, vi coninvolgerà con i suoi racconti e le sue spiegazioni. E’ davvero una guida molto esperta e professionale!
Thank you for such a brilliant trek!
Our chef, Gregorio, "Goyo", had the best food of all of our Peru!! the culinary expertise of this guy whom planned a menu according to our hike plan, carbs and proteins, and we had plenty.. .I mean plenty to eat. The porters (all 10), with leads from Climico, and special mention to Fortunato who would met us at the end of the trail to help carry our personal packs to our porters applauding our days hard accomplishment. Along the entire trail, Wilbur encouraging the porter of other competitors as his "little brother" to continue to be strong as they quickly passed us on the trail. My respect to the team of Valencia Travel, the porters, head chef and his assistant and mostly to Wilbur for delivering an experience that I encourage anyone to participate in. Thank you Wilbur. we the 7 women from California, USA will forever be your "Flowers".
There were some challenges communicating with the office staff with some questions we had before the trek and booking it, though once we had our meeting with Guillermo it was all sorted out.
After a lot of research, Valencia Travel appeared as the most qualitative and professional agency organizing the excursions we wanted to take part in. We signed in for day trip to the rainbow mountain and had an amazing experience. The guide spoke English and shared a lot of interesting facts with us, the food was delicious and the general activity was perfectly organisez.
Thanks to this very positive experience, we decided to do the 4 days Lares Trail to Machu Picchu with Valencia Travel. Waouw. We spent the 4 days talking about how impressed we were about the professionalism of the agency. The trek was wonderful, the nature breathtaking but the most impressive part was the service, the kindness of the staff, their organisation,… Everything is in the details, the camp are very confortable, they even bring you tea in your tent to wake you up in the morning!
The food was beyond expectations. At every meal, we had a salad, a soup, a main dish and once we even had a cake that they baked in the tents! Being vegan, we are always a bit scared that it could be a problem for trekkings, but with Valencia it is not at all! We had some of the best foods of our trip during our trekking!
I am so happy that we did the Lares trekking with Valencia as there is no better way to reach the sacred site of Machu Picchu than by doing a trekking in the nature. It is a very special place and trekking to reach it definitely add some magic to the experience!
To conclude, I would highly recommend Valencia for any activities in Peru, it will make your experience unforgettable!!
At 55 and with a helpful dose of camaraderie from my younger trek-mates, including my 16 year-old niece who managed the ascents and descents with aplomb, I felt a sense of accomplishment in completing the trek, which is more vertical than horizontal and ranges from about 9,000 to 12,000 feet over three days. Hiking the trail does require above-average fitness for the middle-aged. No unmanageable parts but a walking stick, reliable shoes, dependable leg muscles and accommodating joints, a relatively light backpack of essentials, and stops along the way to gulp down the thin air, take in the jaw-dropping vistas, pause for passing porters, and make way for grazing llamas—all are required to push through. So is a large reserve of self-deprecation. Alex and other minders were more than indulgent while keeping us all on the move.
Reaching Machu Picchu at the end was paradoxically awe-inspiring and anti-climatic given the splendor of the journey to get there. At the end of it, getting on the train that deposits and returns the vast majority of visitors in the space of a day, I simply couldn’t imagine seeing Machu Picchu without doing the trek.
If you are hiking the Inca Trail I highly recommend to go through Valencia Travel. Ask to have Elistan as your guide. The porters are treated very well. They have good hiking shoes, and attire to wear. (though if they could get backpacks that include waist straps I think that would be great!). Ask for Luis to be your cook. I have never eaten so well on a vacation. Luis is amazing at what he can cook up on the trail, we are talking three course meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the food is presented as if it was at a 5 star hotel. Incredible!!!
My only other desire is if Valencia offered a Recipe Book of the meals eaten on the trail. I would totally purchase such a piece of "gold".
