Amazon Explorer Cruise
Ex Lima
Aboard the Amazon Explorer, a 19th century style Riverboat
Our Amazon Explorer tours are designed around our first class 19th century style riverboat. Ecologically designed with the fragile Amazon river and surrounding environment in mind.
This luxuriously decorated riverboat was built with the finest woods offering elegance and local charm. The cabins are well appointed offering a tropical decor with twin or double beds, private facilities all are outside facing cabins with a large window. Life onboard will have you capturing the essence of the Amazon along the Maraņon, Pucate and Ucayali Rivers. Enjoy a cool drink at the bar, relax on the observation deck and watch for wildlife or take in the sights and sounds while lecturers share their knowledge of the local river tributaries, cultures and wildlife. At sunset dine in the elegant dining room and try local delicacies such as ceviche, fried banana and locally caught fish.
This Amazon Explorer riverboat offer an unparalleled wildlife and cultural journey! While not on board you will be lead by our Expert Naturalist Guides on daily excursions allowing you the opportunity to spot diverse wildlife such as sloths, toucans, pink dolphins, monkeys and plenty more. Night walks and visits to remote villages where few travellers have ever gone add to the experience while an overnight excursion at Superior Permanent Camp brings you deeper into the jungle than any other river cruises in the area.
Travelling by foot and also by canoe in the wet season you will get an up-close look at all of the beauty that the Amazon has to offer. After an hour-long nature walk we will arrive at our exclusive camp, our home for the evening. This is the base for our native cooking class, a visit to the canopy-walk at dawn or dusk, the two best times to view wildlife and for a night filled with local myth and folklore.
