Amazon
To venture into the Amazon is to find yourself immersed in a thriving ecosystem, where thick jungle harbors remarkable wildlife. Experience the world’s most biodiverse rainforest in an authentic way, traveling in the company of local guides aboard an elegant tropical riverboat—the Delfin II or Delfin III.
On an exploration of Peru’s Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, glide into narrow tributaries by skiff and kayak for a closer look at unusual plants and animals, discovering enormous ceiba trees and forests flooded with mirror-like waters. Watch for monkeys and macaws in the canopy and pink dolphins splashing in the river, and spend time with the indigenous ribereños in their remote jungle communities.
“The jungle at the headwaters of the Amazon lives and breathes. It is an entity unto itself.”
