Aria Amazon Explorer Cruise Tour Detail Page

Touch down in Iquitos — the legendary jungle city accessible only by river or air — where our crew awaits to welcome you at the airport. Board your private transfer for a light lunch en route to Nauta port, where the magnificent Aria Amazon awaits. Settle into your beautifully appointed suite as the sights, sounds, and scents of the Amazon envelop you for the first time. Meet your expert naturalist guide team, complete the safety briefing, and gather in the restaurant for the first of many extraordinary dining experiences crafted by celebrated Amazonian chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino. 

Rise for a morning birdwatching excursion along the Marañón River — its receded low water banks revealing sandbanks teeming with remarkable birdlife in spectacular abundance. After breakfast, explore the pristine Yanayacu Pucate River — crystal clear during low water season — with outstanding opportunities to encounter sloths, egrets, parrots, and Taricaya turtles basking along sun-warmed banks. Step ashore to witness a fascinating Aguaje palm harvesting demonstration in a welcoming Amazonian village. After lunch, test your nerve with piranha fishing before heading out after dinner for a thrilling nocturnal wildlife excursion under the extraordinary Amazon stars.
