The Amazon Basin is the biggest tropical rainforest on earth. Realistically, there’s only one way to explore it: by boat. And certainly, there’s only one way to explore it in the highest of high style: aboard Pure Amazon.
This meticulously conceived, state-of-the-art riverboat is quite simply unique in the region in terms of the material comfort and human expertise that it provides. A maximum of 22 passengers per cruise and a one-to-one guest-staff ratio guarantee an intimate, blissfully uncrowded, wholly focused experience, in which every detail is managed by a best-in-class local team.
Pure Amazon operates three-, four- and seven-night itineraries in and around the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, a pristine protected area of some 21,000 square kilometres in northeastern Peru.
The opportunities for wildlife spotting – from pink dolphins to colourful macaws – are matchless, whether on expert-guided excursions by land or water or observed through one of the wall-to-wall panoramic windows in your own superbly appointed suite, as you contemplate a sunset glass of something chilled and interesting on the top-deck Sky Lounge before a leisurely dinner prepared by your award-winning onboard chef. The rainbow-plumed macaws themselves will gaze down and squawk in envy from their treetop perches.
