The Peruvian Amazon represents earth’s wellspring of life at perhaps its most unsullied, most mysterious, most exotic. Waters where unusual pink and gray dolphins swim alongside your skiff as you explore a jungle tributary. Colorful birds like macaws, orioles and toucans, together with howler monkeys, creating 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 for century upon century, clinging tightly to their ways in the face of encroaching modernity.
This is the Amazon that awaits you on this OAT adventure. And the way you’ll see it is no less inviting. For seven days, you’ll live aboard one of our privately chartered riverboats, enjoying air-conditioned accommodations, fine dining, and unparalleled, close-up views of the wild world that surrounds you. They’re the perfect place to relax and reflect on your discoveries. You’ll gain more familiarity with native life in this isolated world during a home-hosted lunch, an included lecture, and a visit with a local shaman.
