AMAZON RIVER SAFARIS
Journey into the Heart of our Planet
The Amazon Rainforest
The wild pulse of the jungle… feel it in the morning shroud of fog that blankets the Amazon, hear it in the noisy bird calls at dusk, see it in the tangles and creaks of its cathedral canopy of green as you enter the rain forest.
Join a long tradition of explorers on this great river, beginning with Spaniard Vicente Yanez Pinzon, who became the first European to sail into the Amazon in 1500 and Francisco de Orellana, who travelled its length in 1542.
You don’t have to rough it when exploring this untamed ecosystem from the comfort of your Amazon River Cruise or Eco Jungle Lodge.
The less-travelled part of the legendary Amazon is teeming with wild flora and fauna, from toucans, tarantulas and sloths to piranhas, caimans and pink dolphins, as well as many bird species and a fascinating human population. The further you venture into the jungle, the more wildlife you will see.

- Our Amazon River Eco-Safaris are uniquely selected to match your personal vision.
Amazon in Brazil
AMAZONIA is the largest region of Brazil as well as the largest area of tropical rainforest in the world, having become a worldwide synonym of biodiversity. In relation to the rest of the country, it is sparsely populated and includes vast areas that are virtually inaccessible, despite countless attempts at taming the jungle through agriculture, industrial development, and farming.
Our signature small ship Amazon River Cruises venture deep into the remote wilderness rainforest of Brazil, voyaging far up the least inhabited major river in the Amazon Basin: the Rio Negro.
Amazon in Peru
The Peruvian Amazon covers more than half of the country. It is an area of great biodiversity due to the high variety of eco-regions.
Venture deep into the Amazon rainforest on our naturalist guided jungle treks and excursions, finding yourself among its extraordinary array of mammals and birds.
Sustainability is an important part of our Amazon expeditions, whether it be giving local communities access to clean drinking water or preserving the endangered Taricaya Turtles.
Amazon in Ecuador
Although Ecuador contains a mere slice of the Amazon, the rainforest here is diverse, with quiet blackwater lagoons, raging chocolatey rivers, dense tree canopies and flooded forests. Hundreds of species of birds, reptiles and insects live in the forest among a rich biodiversity of unique plants and trees.
Stay at one of our signature jungle lodges or explore this jungle realm by travelling along the tributaries on a state-of-the-art river boat, specially adapted to explore the heart of the Amazon.
