Amazon Rainforest Adventure Overview
The incredible Amazon Rainforest Adventure tour will completely immerse you in the wilderness of the Amazon. From spotting native wildlife to crossing ropes courses in the canopy, this guided, customizable tour of the Amazon rainforest is sure to excite!
An adventure holiday in the Amazon rainforest is the perfect trip for anyone looking to get off the grid and disconnect in a truly remote oasis. From your home base in a jungle lodge, you’ll spend your time hiking and canoeing through this amazing natural environment. Keep your eyes on the trees for pygmy marmosets, owl monkeys, sloths, and more. Then, take to the water to spot caiman and the legendary pink river dolphins that frolic in the river.
Amazon rainforest tours are as much about unwinding as they are about adventuring. At the end of each day, enjoy a delicious dinner and trade stories with your fellow travellers as you kick back in a jungle lodge. Then, fall asleep each night to the sounds of the lively jungle before you rise refreshed and ready to take on another day of spectacular wilderness adventures.
The Amazon Rainforest Adventure is a nature lover’s dream and the perfect short but sweet introduction to the wonders of the Amazon Rainforest.
What types of adventures await you in the Amazon Rainforest?
One of the best parts about adventuring in the Amazon Rainforest is the wealth of diverse activities awaiting you each and every day. An Amazon Rainforest tour will introduce you to exhilarating adventure opportunities both on water and on land.
The expansive and lush rainforest that covers this region provides endless opportunities for hiking and spotting wildlife. Traverse the dense jungle trails and spot owl monkeys, pygmy marmosets and black tamarins. And for those with a zest for flying high, hike through the forest to reach a canopy zipline and enjoy the landscape from above.
The adventures available on the lakes and rivers of the Amazon Rainforest are no less exciting than those on land. Canoe oxbow lakes and navigate flooded forests where you’ll search for unique wildlife, such as the titi monkey or the pink lake dolphin. Local spearfishing and Piranha fishing also top the list of highly sought-after adventures in the Peruvian Amazon.
No matter how you spend your days there is always one last adventure to enjoy before tucking in for the night -- stargazing riverside where you’ll enjoy the magical constellations above with the sounds of the jungle all around you!
