Santa Rosa Island is a lush, uninhabited island in the Amazon River, located just downstream from the Tres Fronteras area. It's a prime spot for nature lovers to observe Amazonian wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and caimans, as well as the iconic pink river dolphins. Visitors typically take boat tours that circle the island, stopping for short walks on sandy beaches or through the forest. The island's remote feel and pristine scenery provide a peaceful escape from the nearby towns.

Don't miss

  • Spot pink river dolphins surfacing near the island's shores.
  • Walk on sandy beaches and look for bird species like herons and kingfishers.
  • Take a guided boat tour around the island to see the flooded forest and wildlife.
