Once upon a time, the source of the Amazon in deepest Peru was a legendary goal of great explorers, who pitted their wits against unknown perils, hostile tribes, heat, rain and disease, to sail from the Atlantic, though untamed Amazonia, to seek out the true source of what is perhaps the World's greatest river.Today a visit to the upper reaches of the Amazon remains pioneering, but demands significantly less discomfort. Aqua Expeditions’ offerings on addictedtotravel.com are perhaps the most enticing offer yet, as they are the first company to offer luxury cruising in Peru’s Northern Amazon. Their brand new boat, MV Aqua,was built specifically to cruise Amazonian waters and follows some of the best traditions of Nature Cruises in the Galapagos Islands,by blending high levels of comfort with outstanding Naturalist Guides, fascinating excursions and a creative itinerary which covers one week, or can be split into two shorter 3 or 4-night itineraries.Click on the following links to read all about Cruises in the Amazon with Aqua Expeditions: Aqua Amazon Discovery - 3 Night Amazon Cruise Aqua Amazon Discovery - 4 Night Amazon Cruise Aqua Amazon Discovery - 7 Night Amazon CruiseIf you are interested in this trip, it would make the perfect combination with a visit to pther areas of Peru , such as a visit to Machu Picchu, the Nasca Lines, or Lake Titicaca.
Hi Stuart,I saw that you have written about and indeed lived in Brazil. I'd like to travel down the Amazon in Brazil - do you know of any companies that do this?Although I'm a middleaged backpacker - I'm not so sure that I would want to sling my hammock up on a boat here so maybe a little comfort if possible.I will be there in November 08.Many thanks.
