Amazon River Cruises from Iquitos

An Amazon River cruise offers a deeper and more immersive way to explore the rainforest. Instead of using one jungle lodge as your base, you travel along the river and explore different areas and habitats, giving you more opportunities for wildlife encounters and access to more remote parts of the Amazon.

You can enjoy guided excursions by smaller boats, rainforest walks, wildlife spotting, and nighttime activities, while returning to a comfortable vessel with private cabins, common areas, excellent service, and gourmet meals. It is a great way to combine deeper jungle exploration with a higher level of comfort.
