Explore a wonderland on Amazon River Cruises.
A luxurious adventure along the most remote banks of the world.
Traveling where few have ever been, exploring the remote and pristine areas of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, a protected wilderness of over five million acres, about twice the size of Yellowstone. All around you are rare plants and animals: 500 species of birds like macaw, kingfisher, riotously colored parrots; plus black alligators, three-toed sloths, red howlers, tamarin, capuchin monkeys and the unique freshwater pink dolphin. All the while, you’re enjoying the luxurious comforts of a king-size bed, indoor and outdoor lounges and culinary feasts under the direction of one of Lima's well-known restaurateurs… Choose from 3-, 4- or 7- night explorations, easily combinable with visiting Peru’s many other remarkable sights.
Adventure in Patagonia
There’s little doubt that when Ferdinand Magellan rounded Cape Horn, where the Atlantic meets the Pacific, and arrived in Patagonia during his first-ever trek around the world, he marveled at its stunning beauty. The highlight of a Patagonian vacation is a visit to Torres del Paine National Park, one of South America’s newest nature reserves boasting a stunning array of mountains, glaciers, lakes and forest, as well as some fabulous lodges. Explore this natural wonder by vehicle, on horseback along the back trails, by boat with trips across Lake Grey to its namesake glacier, on zodiac boats down the Serrano River, or by foot with treks ranging from easy walks to much more extensive explorations.
