WHAT YOU WILL SEE & EXPERIENCE
The Amazon is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and plant life, making every day an adventure of discovery. Guided jungle walks provide opportunities to spot monkeys, sloths, colourful birds, insects, reptiles, and countless other species that thrive within the rainforest ecosystem.
Travelling by boat along rivers and tributaries offers a completely different perspective of the jungle. You'll navigate narrow waterways beneath towering trees, explore hidden corners of the rainforest, and witness life along the riverbanks where wildlife is often most active.
The rainforest itself is constantly changing. Dense jungle, giant trees, exotic plants, flooded forests, oxbow lakes, and remote waterways combine to create an environment unlike any other on Earth. The sounds of birds, insects, and wildlife form a soundtrack that accompanies you throughout the journey.
Along the way you'll gain insight into the importance of the Amazon ecosystem and learn about the cultures and communities that have lived alongside the rainforest for generations.
