Hop on board a customised aluminium motorised boat or skiff boat and marvel at the stunning snaking tributaries of the Peruvian Amazon.
Offering daily excursions with a maximum of eight passengers, keep your eyes wide open and your camera ready as you cast a glimpse into the glimmering swirl of black water, where armoured catfish, red bellied piranhas, and the beady-eyed heads of spectacled caimans will present themselves to you. Don’t forget to also look up, as magnificent as the alluring world of the deep is, so is the activity on the shoreline and in the treetops. See yellow spotted Amazon River turtles sluggishly meandering along the muddy shoreline, exquisite sapphire blue beaked Amazon kingfishers swooping past and antediluvian prehistoric hoatzin birds perching on leafy branches. A major highlight is the stunning Amazon pink river dolphin, a remarkably rare species that gracefully glides through the freshwater rivers of the Peruvian Amazon.
The best time to go on a boat cruise in the Peruvian Amazon is typically during the dry season (May to October). During this time, the weather is more predictable, with less rainfall, making it easier to navigate the rivers and explore the region. The water levels are lower during the dry season, allowing access to more areas that are usually flooded during the wet season. However, the wet season (November to April) has its own advantages. The Amazon Rainforest is lush and vibrant, and the rivers are at their highest levels, allowing access to deeper areas and smaller tributaries. Wildlife can be more visible as animals come closer to the water, and there is a rich diversity of birdlife.
