Bring the family and join us for a wildlife adventure in the Amazon rainforest, the most biologically diverse ecosystem on Earth. The overwhelming abundance and diversity of wildlife found in the Amazon basin is beyond comprehension. In addition to two species of fresh water dolphins, the 4,200 mile long Amazon River is home to more species of fish than swim in the entire Atlantic Ocean. Thousands of butterflies and untold numbers of other invertebrates, one-third of the world’s 9,000 species of birds and numerous mammals, reptiles and amphibians thrive in these tropical jungles. Traveling by boat down the Amazon River, from the frontier town of Iquitos, we search for river dolphins, fish for piranha, visit the tree tops on the longest rainforest canopy walkway in the new world and are introduced to the Riberenos people that live here. Our extension to Cusco, the Urubamba River Valley and the “lost city” of Machu Picchu is a journey back in time and an introduction to the magnificence of the ancient Inca Empire.

Nine-day, $2495 per person, double occupancy, all inclusive from the Lima Airport
