Rio Amazonas Peru

When people holiday in exotic countries their general  wish is to emerse themselves in the culture and enjoy the sights and experiences that are sometimes off the beaten track.  Many of these types of experiences are the ones that you will remember for years to come.  For those people who are visiting Peru, it is worth checking out the Rio Amazonas which is a restored riverboat that cruises the waters of the Amazon River.

The Rio Amazonas was brought over to Peru from Scotland in the early 20th century and has been fitted out for day cruising and also has accommodation for those travellers that are looking for a longer paddle boat experience. The river boat is the traditional wood panel boat with three levels of accommodation and plenty of space for travellers.

The Rio Amazonas has weekly cruises along the Amazon River to the boarders of Brazil and Columbia.  They offer a range of activities and experiences for tourists which is sure to suit most tourists.  The staff on board conduct activities such as wildlife observation and fishing as well as stop offs at local communities where travellers can meet local people and enjoy traditional food and dance.

The river boat has a maximum capacity of 40 guests at any one time so it is advised that you book ahead to get a place.  The accommodation is basic but does offer backpacker style or a master suite cabin.  If you are looking for something a little different to do on your next trip around the Peru area then this might be something different to experience.
