Trips to the Amazon

Not Just Another Family Vacation Spot

What Other Travelers are Saying...

“The Delfin crew took great care of me. They had a paramedic that went on every walk with me and assisted me to make the trek. I am proud to say I participated in every outing and this was only possible because of the commitment of the staff. The cruise itself was beautiful and every staff member made our journey memorable. If you are considering this cruise, I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.”

“I can’t say enough positive about the Delfin experience. All the staff were friendly, professional, and tried to learn everyone’s names. They made me feel special within just 3 days. The walking tour on land was amazing, with seeing lizards, birds, spiders, frogs, and even a beautiful large boa snake. Please bring school supplies to donate to the indigenous people in the villages. Visiting 1 of these villages was the highlight for me.”

YOUR PERUVIAN AMAZON ADVENTURE STARTS HERE

Travelers who plan trips to the Amazon have usually heard a thing or two about Peru tourist attractions, including being surrounded by nature all hours of the day. For those looking for a first-hand experience, Delfin Amazon Cruises will take care of the logistics upon your arrival to Iquitos, Peru and make sure your Amazon trip exceeds all expectations. From the Amazon rainforest biodiversity to the unique native cultures, there are many memories to be made that couldn’t be crafted anywhere else inside or outside of the country. Are you up for planning a trip to the Amazon with Delfin?

Reasons to choose Peru for trips to the amazon

Of the nine countries the Amazon rainforest covers, the Land of the Incas enjoys the second largest share after Brazil, making it the perfect place for a trip to the Amazon. Upon entering the largest city in the world inaccessible by land, passengers onboard Delfin’s Amazon trips will be transported to Nauta to embark on their luxury cruise, headed toward the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. The Amazon rainforest biodiversity found within this reserve will make even well-traveled nature lovers anxious to enter though, despite being twice the size of Yellowstone National Park, it has yet to become a Peru tourist attraction. To date, there are close to 2,000 species of flora and fauna documented, making for no two trips to the Amazon within the Iquitos, Peru region exactly alike. To make it even easier to decide, the Pacaya Samiria Reserve is exclusively found in Peru.

What trips to the amazon jungle include

Trips to the Amazon include much more than the traditional site seeing escapades often advertised by travel companies. While you may think that an all-inclusive trip to the Amazon jungle with Delfin Amazon Cruises takes care of transportation, accommodation, recreational activities, and food, it can do so much more than that, but only if you let it. If you sneak out to the sun deck at night and take one glance up at the immense sky littered with shooting stars, constellations, and planets, you will soon realize that this Amazon trip has more in store for you than once thought. Trips to the Amazon with Delfin offers you a chance to connect with nature within the largest rainforest in the world, and by doing so, you’ll be able to find a deeper connection within yourself.

Ideal lenght of trips to the amazon

Delfin Amazon Cruises has a variety of luxury cruise packages available that are either three or four nights in length. When discounting the time of travel and transfers, the majority of jungle-goers feel as if this amount of time is sufficient to get a taste for the Amazon rainforest biodiversity. These trips to the Amazon will provide visitors with a chance to take part in all of the activities they desire while giving them down time to unwind on the cruise. For those who wish to extend their trip to the Amazon for slightly longer, ask us about a stay in the Pacaya Samiria Amazon Lodge! Staying in this lodge allows visitors an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the rainforest up close and personal in rustic bungalows equipped with a terrace and hammocks, mosquito nets, and personal bathrooms.

Attractions of amazon trips

The Amazon rainforest in and of itself is a main Peru tourist attraction. While in the good hands of Delfin, visitors who embark on luxury cruises will have the rare opportunity to have firsthand experience with what others only dream about, the Amazon rainforest biodiversity. You won’t only be swimming alongside pink river dolphins, but you will also be face to face with carnivorous piranhas when fishing and witnessing some of the most picturesque sunrises and sunsets in the world from your lavishly decorated suite. Passengers onboard these Amazon trips are also encouraged to indulge in kayaking and paddleboarding in addition to birdwatching from the canopy walks, strung high above the rainforest floors. So, instead of asking what’s there to do on trips to the Amazon in Peru, a better question would be what isn’t there to do?

Understandably, you may have some questions before embarking on our Amazon River cruise:

Where will the cruise navigate?

All of our Amazon River cruises embark in Iquitos, Peru and cruise the Upper Amazon, crossing the waterways of the Amazon, Ucayali and Marañon rivers. No matter the length of your cruise or selected boat, our entire fleet passes through the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, bordered by the Marañon and Ucayali rivers. This area of the Amazon is the largest protected flooded forest and home to an incredibly diverse community of flora and fauna.

Will we be able to see animals up close?

Our naturalist guides will use their knowledge as locals of the area as well as their professional experience to show you as many examples of local fauna as possible. After all, the Amazon Basin houses the largest collection of living plant and animal species on Earth. Our planned things to do in Peru will immerse you into the Peruvian Amazon rainforest and rivers, always with respect towards the safety of our guests and the wildlife.

Will my dietary restrictions and preferences be considered?

Our talented culinary team specializes in working with local ingredients to produce gourmet meals that reflect the Peruvian Amazon in both taste and presentation. Should you follow a vegetarian, vegan or any special diet (i.e. allergy restrictions), please inform us beforehand so that we can be sure to cater to you in the most satisfactory way.

What type of clothes should I pack?

To enjoy our onshore activities, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes, lightweight pants and long-sleeved shirts, and a brimmed sun hat (rubber boots and rain ponchos will be provided). Indoors, we encourage casual clothes whether you plan to be at the bar, dining room or sundeck. There will be opportunities for swimming in the river, and the pool is always open, so be sure to pack your bathing suit or trunks.

Besides clothes, is there anything else I should bring?

Make sure to pack your binoculars and a camera so you don’t miss portraying all the things to do in Peru! And to keep your experience pleasurable, we highly recommend bug repellant with DEET and sunblock. We’ll also be visiting some of the local communities we partner with, and the young children appreciate any gifts you can bring them such as school supplies (i.e. pens, paper) and edible treats (i.e. chocolate bars, fruit juice).

Is internet access available onboard?

Currently, our boats are not equipped with internet access. We hope you understand and take it this as an opportunity to disconnect from your typical routine and connect to all the Amazon has to offer.
