Amazon River Journey
November 6-14, 2004
Optional extension to Machu
Picchu, November 14-19
This 9-day journey of exploration to the rainforests of
the remote upper Peruvian Amazon begins with a night in
a deluxe hotel in Lima, Peru; city tour included. Then,
from Iquitos, embark on a 6-night round-trip cruise on the
intimate, 28-passenger expedition-style ship, La Amatista,
with its own expert naturalist guides. The Amazon rainforest
is one of the world’s richest and most diverse ecosystems
teeming with wildlife, birds, and a dazzling array of flora
and fauna. Tour highlights: naturalist-guided walks in the
rainforest; river cruise to view the unique freshwater pink
dolphins of the Amazon with an early morning breakfast;
visits to traditional Amazon Indian riverside villages;
guided tour of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, the
largest wetlands preserve in the world, into which only
La Amatista and her sister ships are allowed; jungle
canopy walk near San Regis.
All meals aboard ship, program of lectures and presentations,
and shore excursions with naturalist guides included. La
Amatista is built in the style of a 19th-century Amazon
riverboat, offering unpretentious comfort in 14 air-conditioned
cabins, each with private bath. Onboard dining features
delicious local and international cuisine prepared daily
from fresh local ingredients. Through a circular bank of
floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining parlor, the backdrop
for every meal is an ever-changing vista. The wildlife viewing
from an open-air top deck is incredible.
Air from Miami is included in the reasonable tour cost.
All dates and itineraries are subject to change.
