The Amazon River, surrounding nearly half of the territory of Peru, is the mightiest river in the world, flanked by vast stretches of pristine rainforest. International Expeditions has been exploring the Amazon for all of our 29 years of existence, and we continue to be amazed at all we find on our 10-day Amazon Cruise. The rainforest canopy shelters the richest and most diverse ecosystem on Earth, making it the perfect place for an Amazon River cruise. We begin our Amazon River tour in Iquitos, the world’s furthest inland seaport. The Amazon Cruise travels upstream along the Amazon’s tributaries, going deep into the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve — the largest wetland reserve in the world. Their exclusive Amazon itinerary, goes deeper into the reserve and as a result, you see much more. On this Amazon Voyage, we’ll look for the Amazon’s myriad forms of wildlife — monkeys, birds, sloths and other mammals, pink and gray dolphins and many more. You might even spot the endangered giant otter or the rare harpy eagle on our Amazon Cruise. Expert local naturalist guides and an expedition leader will accompany you on your Amazon travel expeditions. Many have worked with us for more than a decade. They are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the Amazon, with the uncanny ability to find wildlife and the desire to share their knowledge.
In La Amatista's lovely dining parlor, you will dine in casual elegance. Your palate is rewarded with international cuisine as well as a mixture of dishes whose origin is rooted in Peruvian cooking traditions. These delicious meals are prepared each day from the freshest vegetables, fruit, fish and other local produce. Looking through the bank of floor-to-ceiling windows, you are reminded of the ever-changing exotic and remote beauty that surrounds you. Intimate and classically styled, La Amatista offers incredible wildlife viewing from a spacious open-air observation deck, with a direct line to the captain's bridge. You can relax here and quietly savor the easy pace as the rainforest reveals itself to you. Or, you can enjoy the camaraderie of new friends as you discuss the wonders of the day's excursions or the adventures that await you tomorrow. In the evening, sip coffee in solitude under the expansive opal skies and watch the sun disappear behind yet another limitless expanse of vibrant rainforest.
