Why Take an Amazon Cruise ?Written by John Metcalfe
Continued from page 1
The river is much narrower here, so Amazon cruise crafts are smaller, taking form of riverboats with a capacity to hold no more than 50 or 60 passengers. The favored port of departure and return on a Peru Amazon cruise is located at city of Iquitos. Most passengers arrive at Iquitos by air on an internal flight from Lima - capital of Peru.. An unforgettable adventure No matter where your Amazon cruise departs from, what you'll see and hear along way will dazzle, entertain and often render you speechless! You could take in a shore excursion where you'll meet a local shaman in a remote Amazonian village, or perhaps you'll go trekking in jungle on a quest to discover rare species of plant and animal.. From cruise boat too Amazon is full of surprises! Imagine coming face to face with smallest monkey in world as it dangles from a tree branch close to your boat, or watching mesmerizing display of a shimmering six-foot Golden Dourada one of most beautiful freshwater fish in world. It really does make for an unforgettable experience..
