Amazon River Cruise - Traditional

With 20 years of experience Amazon Clipper develops packages throughout the Amazon Basin, always showing the best of Amazon and its different ways, fauna and flora, local way of life and more.

There are several ways to see the wonders of the Amazon: hotels, lodges and boat tours. We think the best way to see and enjoy nature is to be active in this wonderful environment and to be always in the midst of the jungle, especially at dawn and dusk. This is the experience that our cruises provides.

During this trip it is possible to visit one of the most world's famous rivers, the Amazon. The majestic river begins in the Peruvian Mountains (Andes) and ends pushing itself 35km into the ocean, a site that can only be viewed through satellite images.

We put at your disposal our complete support infrastructure to offer an on-board experience that's second to none and in addition we will take you to places few other cruise passengers ever seen. It's possible because our cruise groups are small and personal, and our knowledge of the destination is complete.

Our Cruises offers an unforgettable experience. In our wooden motorized canoes you will visit the flooded jungle, spot alligators in the night and will watch the sun rising very slowly from the jungle.
