South America Amazon Cruise

Delfin III Amazon River Cruise

Spend 4 or 5 days exploring the Peruvian Amazon and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve aboard the 43-guest river cruise ship Delfin III. If wildlife viewing is your goal, the Delfin III Amazon River Cruise is the perfect choice. Expert guides are dedicated to pointing out Amazon animals—creatures hidden deep within the rainforest, such as blue and yellow macaws, scarlet macaws, toucans, umbrella birds, monkeys, river otters, capybaras and more. Opportunities to fish for piranha and swim with pink Amazon river dolphins make this an unforgettable journey.

Highlights of the Delfin III Amazon Cruise include lengthy explorations aboard aluminum skiffs, sometimes taking breakfast and/or lunch aboard skiffs in order to take full advantage of wildlife viewing opportunities. Eight-passenger skiffs allow gentle, guided excursions to places like Yanayaquillo & Yanayacu, the best preserved and protected zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Walk the Fundo Casual jungle trail on “terra firma” (non-flooded forest) in search of the dynamic creatures and vegetation of the Amazon. Playful monkeys and birds are found along the lovely Piraña Caño Creek, and fauna like the giant Amazonian water lily Victoria regia can be found in small lagoons known as cochas. The one community visit on the Delfin III agenda is to San Francisco where fantastic arts and crafts made by local women are displayed and sold. One cannot experience the Amazon without meeting and learning about the local villagers who have called Amazonia home for generations.

The 43-guest Delfin III immerses her passengers in the rainforest experience while simultaneously treating them to the highest levels of luxury. Beautifully finished with the finest details—panoramic windows, hardwood floors, designer furniture and handmade Peruvian artifacts—she is the perfect luxury river vessel for exploring as much wildlife as the Amazon has to offer.

Itineraries in the Amazon vary based on high-water and low-water seasons. High-water season is November to May and allows for more extensive exploration and access via water. These months are ideal for travelers who prefer to duck into otherwise isolated corners of the reserve aboard speedy boats. Low-water season is June through October and may allow for more trail walks. This time of year is ideal for travelers who prefer to walk through the rainforest and discover its flora and fauna. All listed activities depend on water levels, weather and season. Travelers equipped with a sense of adventure and openness tend to enjoy their Delfin III journey in the Amazon rainforest even more.

Zapote River & Pacaya River

The morning is a perfect time for kayaking along the calm and inspiring rainforest waters. Follow the guides upstream, where there’s a good chance of spotting prehistoric-looking iguanas while traveling along the shoreline searching for whatever the jungle has to offer.

This afternoon reach the trip’s highlight: The Pacaya River at the very heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Peru’s largest protected area has a mean annual rainfall of nearly 3,000 millimeters and is the largest protected wetland reserve in the world. Filled with lakes, palm swamps and streams, the reserve becomes a flooded forest in the high-water season and is sure to be one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever visit.

Day 2

Fundo Casual, Yanayacu Pucate & Yachay

Consider waking up early to appreciate one of the most important zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve: Fundo Casual. Never does nature seem more bountiful than in the tropics, and early rising is always rewarding since wildlife is most abundant and active with the rising of the sun.

Be sure to keep an attentive eye open for spotting impressive Amazon wildlife.

After lunch, cruise through the Yanayacu and Pucate Rivers, peeking into different creeks and lagoons. This is one of the best preserved and protected zones of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. The guide pinpoints all the biodiversity of this region. Consider interacting directly with the waters of the Amazon by going out on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard.

Day 3

Amazon Park, Puerto Prado Village & Amazon Confluence

This morning, experience the unique opportunity of walking the only canopy walkway in the area—an experience unequaled in the rainforest. At a height of over 85 feet and extending for one-third of a mile, the Canopy Walkway provides a view of the rainforest from the treetops, the best vantage point for observing Amazon wildlife and vegetation. Spread between 14 of the area’s largest rainforest trees, the suspended walkway is one of the longest in the world and is accessible to all, requiring no special skills or equipment. Next, enjoy the terra firma forest and note the differences between your previous hike and this one.

In the afternoon, visit a village of 500 people, not many miles from the bigger town of Nauta but still quite removed when traveling by canoe. Friendly faces welcome this community visit, as local people are happy to demonstrate the process of peeling and grating cassava or processing locally grown rice. A day in the life of a local ribereño reveals how far modern society has come and invites you to reflect on how simple and rewarding life is for others.

Next, toast and witness the distinguished colors of the 3 rivers, better known as the “Union de los Ríos.” The Ucayali River confluences with the Marañón River upstream of Iquitos, Peru, to form what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the Amazon River.

Look out for specific types of animals like the pygmy marmoset, squirrel monkey and perhaps even the monk saki. This medium-sized monkey with the thick fur and bushy tail seems better dressed for the Arctic than the Amazon.
