This great adventure designed for those nature lovers who do not have much time to travel, this will offer a good view of life in the Amazonia; from exotic birds, glad gray and pink dolphins, to the home of the river people, local inhabitants of the margins of the rivers, heirs of a vast culture.
Our classic vessels, built in early 19th Century style will be our base for the route throughout one of main the tributary ones of the Amazon river: the Marañon river, which will mark the rules for numerous excursions and activities to explore the incredible flora and fauna of the Peruvian Amazon basin.
