AMAZON RIVER CRUISE (4 DAYS) DELFIN II
The Amazon Rainforest is named after the Amazon River, the
live force of the jungle. It is a unique ecosystem that harbors
1/3 of all living species in the world! The total extent of this
incomparable tropical jungle is estimated in comparison to the
complete land area of the United States. 28 billion gallons of its
waters flow into the Atlantic every minute, diluting the salinity of
the ocean for more than 100 miles offshore The Amazon
watershed is home to the world’s highest biodiversity. As well, it
is home to more species of plants and animals than any other
terrestrial ecosystem on the planet, and its biodiversity is so
astounding that scientists regularly discover new species of flora
and fauna.
Your Amazon journey takes off on arrival in Iquitos, were we will
pick you up and take you to our vessel. In the following days,
you will experience an ideal combination of natural wonders,
dramatic scenery, indigenous cultural history, and a relaxed
self-contained way to explore the rainforest while sightseeing
