The second-longest river in the world, the incredible biodiversity of the Amazon means one in every 10 species of flora and fauna call it home – something no other river can match. One in 5 of all recorded birds and over 3000 species of freshwater fish can be found here – while it’s said that many hundreds of million species haven’t even been discovered yet.
Its size is truly on the mighty side, too. With its source point in Southern Peru, this incredible expanse stretches east to the northern part of South America, before reaching the Atlantic Ocean, where a higher volume of water is carried into the ocean than ten of the world’s largest flowing rivers combined.
While you’re here, you’ll have your chance to follow in the footsteps of past explorers, journeying deep into the rainforest’s beating heart to witness pink dolphins swimming alongside you, vibrantly-hued birdlife dotting lofty trees and uncontacted tribal communities fishing its waters.
Then there’s the sounds you’ll hear along the way. The cry of howler monkeys, the squawking of bird call and the serene hush as night descends – each one a reminder that you’re experiencing a different world entirely.
The tales of exploration make for real page-turners. Ready to add your own chapter?
