Our guided tour is special because your guide keeps you well-informed throughout the entire journey—not just taking you places, but explaining what you’re seeing, the cultural context, and river life. We also choose indigenous communities where the experience is authentic and respectful, with no pressure to buy crafts and without overpriced entrance fees that take advantage of travelers. We protect our guests from unexpected or excessive costs, keeping everything clear, fair, and safe. The tour is well-organized and starts at the Boulevard, a clean, calm, and safe area—so you begin the adventure with complete peace of mind. And because it’s almost a private tour (small groups of up to 6 passengers per boat), we can move at a relaxed pace—no rushing and no crowds. While cruising on the Amazon River, we can spend extra time looking for dolphins, slowing down when possible to enjoy the scenery—something large group tours rarely do because they follow strict schedules and move too fast.
