Amazon Odyssey Cruise Tour 5 days -4 Nights

Departures: from Monday to Friday

This trip By Tucano Boat explores some of the most untouched rainforest in all of the Amazon. On the expedition vessel, the Motor Yacht Tucano we venture far up the least inhabited river in the Amazon Basin: The Rio Negro. We explore areas very rarelyvisited and seek out the mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest and in the heart of wild nature. Heart of Amazonia is the most thorough, detailed, and sophisticated trip offered in the entire Amazon.Our guides are accomplished naturalists and we see creatures almost never seen by other visitors. The trip is rather like being on a time machine in that we are able to visit places that have not changed for millions of years. Truly the trip of a lifetime.
