Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime river cruise that is well beyond any ordinary cruise, exploring one of the most vibrant ecosystems on the planet. Meet pink dolphins, playful monkeys and sleepy sloths in the pristine Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. Explore the world’s largest rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Mother Nature’s Cradle of Life. Journey along the mythical Amazon River and see for yourself why it’s the ultimate nature adventure.
The Amazon River – also known as the Rio Amazonas – is a life-force that runs through the heart of South America and delivers 20 percent of the world’s river water to the sea. The mighty Amazon Basin is a teeming ecosystem with staggering biodiversity, where rare creatures thrive in an environment that was designed by Mother Nature to conceal them.
To reap the most rewards from an expedition into this lush and exotic habitat, it is best to travel with guides who know the Tour expedidion rainforest inside and out and understand how to spot wildlife. River cruise ships with naturalist guides on board possess the expertise, keen eyes and mountains of experience needed to guide guests into the heart of the rainforest and help them discover its wonders.
Aboard the intimate Delfin II, a deluxe riverboat custom-designed for our daily explorations, you’ll discover an intoxicating realm of exotic creatures and plant life. Skim through a network of jungle waterways, peer up at soaring ceiba trees and listen to the symphony of bird calls. You’ll marvel at the majesty of this primordial forest, and come away with a deep appreciation for one of the most complex and delicate environments on Earth.
Throughout the trip, we’ll also visit with Riberenos in their villages and learn about their ancient customs and traditions. We’ll observe a traditional shaman ceremony and participate in a tree-planting event that contributes to the health and well-being of the local Amazon rainforest community. We’ll meet with a shaman at a sacred riverside altar, where he will perform a ritual to bless the waters of the river and protect our journey through this mystical region.
On our final day, we’ll join a shaman at the Encontro das Aguas, a confluence where the Rio Negro and mighty Amazon Rivers merge in a tumultuous fusion of water, land and sky. It is here that we’ll pay our respects to a man who made the greatest single contribution of his time to the exploration of this wild, vast and mystical jungle. He was a visionary who devoted his life to bringing awareness and attention to this vital ecosystem, and we’re grateful for his efforts and legacy.
