Peruvian Amazon

  ​

Embark on an extraordinary voyage to the ‘lungs of the planet’, home to one in every 10 species of flora and fauna. No explorer’s bucket list is complete without a trip to the world’s largest rainforest. From its wealth of biodiversity to its sheer size, the Amazon Rainforest is immense on all accounts. Even today, researchers continue to find new species of flora and fauna across this mighty expanse, and there are thousands of such discoveries still to be made.

    

Spanning nine countries in South America, the Amazon Rainforest is best explored via a river expedition in Peru. This is the birthplace of the Amazon River, where the Ucayali and Marañon tributaries converge. Considered the region’s most pristine expanse, the river banks are always in view when sailing these narrow channels, allowing incredible opportunities to spot wildlife in the jungle canopies.

​     

Enjoy twice-daily excursions led by expert guides to spot rare and endemic wildlife including pink dolphins, manatees, spider monkeys, caiman, sloths, turtles, and anacondas. The Amazon is also home to  hundreds of bird species from the colorful macaws to the strange Hoatzins which bear a resemblance to Jurrasic era dinosaurs!
