After being welcomed on board, attend an orientation presentation before being treated to the first of many delicious meals in the ship’s restaurant.

A skiff will deliver you to firm ground so you can go for a walk along the Fundo Casual jungle trail with your naturalist guide. Watch for the local wildlife and learn about daily life in this part of the Amazon. Later, you’ll cruise the Yanayacu and Pucate rivers through one of the best-preserved zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Perhaps go for a swim or paddle board, keeping an eye out all the while for the pink river dolphins that call the waterway home.

Watch for blue and yellow macaws, scarlet macaws, toucans, umbrella birds, monkeys, and capybaras, among other creatures. After lunch, you’ll head for Nauta Cano Creek, where you may like to go fishing for piranhas. As night approaches, your guide will take you on a night safari in search of caiman alligators and night birds.
