Overview

Embark on a 9-day immersive journey into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, one of the most biodiverse and awe-inspiring rainforests on Earth. Beginning in Lima, this adventure combines urban culture with deep rainforest exploration, riverboat travel, and encounters with indigenous communities.

Traverse the mighty Amazon River and its winding tributaries aboard a comfortable riverboat, navigating flooded forests, hidden lagoons, and remote waterways that are home to incredible wildlife. By day, explore the rainforest on guided hikes and canoe trips, spotting macaws, monkeys, caimans, pink dolphins, and other unique creatures. By night, enjoy river safaris under the stars, when nocturnal animals come to life.

Connect with local indigenous communities and experience authentic Amazonian culture, from traditional medicinal practices to shamanic rituals. Back in Lima, immerse yourself in the flavors and culture of Peru through city explorations and a cooking class of traditional dishes.

This adventure offers a perfect balance of wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, and river exploration, all while promoting sustainable travel practices. Travelers will leave with not only unforgettable memories but a deeper understanding of rainforest ecosystems and conservation efforts.
