Amazonia Wildlife Adventure Tour Overview
Surround yourself in a million acres of protected jungle wilderness on the incredible Wildlife of the Amazon Tour. Your tour guides will escort you through the rainforest trails and waterways as you discover all the sights and sounds this nature reserve has to offer.
You’ll stay at two different eco-lodges, one of which is even further into the jungle wilderness. From both these spots, you’ll be able to choose which of the activities you’ll want to include in your custom itinerary. You can canoe down the lakes in search of monkeys, caiman, and dolphins, and hike in search of colourful frogs, giant trees, and an endless array of birds. Everywhere you turn, a new kind of animal is waiting to be found- this is a nature lover’s dream. Spending a week immersed in the incredible natural beauty and biodiversity of the Peruvian Amazon is the experience of a lifetime!
