Trip at a Glance

Small Groups: Never more than 16-24 travelers—guaranteed!

Cruise the Amazon River and travel into the Peruvian rain forests, a region that represents Earth’s wellspring of life at perhaps its most unsullied, most mysterious, and most exotic. Here we will encounter waters where unusual pink and gray dolphins swim alongside your skiff as you explore an Amazon River jungle tributary. Colorful birds like macaws, orioles, and toucans, together with howler monkeys, create a beautiful rain forest cacophony with their cries. And the peaceful ribereños—the indigenous people who have lived and made their living in this wilderness century upon century, cling tightly to their ways in the face of encroaching modernity.
