    The Amazon: one of the wildest and most remote corners of Earth. For those drawn to the natural beauty of our planet, a voyage along the mighty Amazon River in Peru offers the ultimate adventure. Come face to face with pink dolphins, playful monkeys, sleepy sloths, giant butterflies and a myriad of other rare creatures in the remote Pacaya-Samiria Reserve.

Amazonian cultural encounters are aplenty in Ribereño villages – receive a blessing from a shaman and learn ancient customs from the local people. Drawing on insight from our native Amazon travel guides, we intentionally vary the villages and tributaries we visit, ensuring you get the most authentic experience possible. With certified naturalist guides on board, an outdoor jacuzzi, cooking class, pre- and post-cruise hotel in Lima, internal flights and more, this expedition is as once-in-a-lifetime as it gets.Voyage into the largest river basin in the world and discover the Peruvian Amazon
