Amazon Expedition

Luxury Amazon voyage

Marrying the elegance of a five-star luxury hotel with the breathless excitement of a cruise down the fabled Amazon River, the M/V Aqua provides discriminating travelers with an unforgettable experience.

Guided by experienced naturalists, you’ll begin your journey in Iquitos – an area so remote it can only be reached by air or water – before experiencing the stunning beauty of Peru’s Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, a preserved wilderness area teeming with plant and wildlife.

When to go

Peru can be visited all year round, although the peak season for visiting the Andean areas is between May and October. Outside of this period it can be rainy, although this offers the advantage of fewer visitors, greener scenery and abundant flora, including orchids at Machu Picchu.

The Amazon is generally hot, wet and humid year round.
