Amazon Tours

The Amazon, Earth's largest tropical rainforest, encompasses the lengthy Amazon River. With unparalleled biodiversity and a mesmerising array of exotic flora and fauna, the Amazon stands as the epitome of jungle ecosystems, earning its place as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Every rainforest experience, whether on Amazon river cruises or in Amazon lodges, immerses you in sensory wonder: lush canopies, vibrant flora, and wildlife calls are part of your everyday. On Amazon tours, you’ll uncover hidden treasures on guided hikes and spot elusive creatures on boat tours. For a truly comprehensive experience, make sure your itinerary includes both.

At Viva Expeditions, we understand the allure of this pristine wilderness because we share it. We offer a fantastic range of carefully crafted Amazon tours and cruises in several South American countries to suit all budgets and travel styles. 

Contact our Amazon Specialists today and let them design a personalised Amazon experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Amazon is a unique ecosystem on our planet, teeming with an abundance of life that can sometimes make exploration challenging. The hot and humid climate and a vast array of insects can be particularly bothersome for some. However, you don't have to ‘endure’ every aspect of this extreme wilderness. High-end lodges and luxury cruises offer a comfortable and enjoyable retreat, shielding you from the pesky conditions.

At Viva Expeditions, we often say that there is an Amazon experience to suit everyone: from the thrill-seeking explorer who wants to feel ‘at one’ with nature (say, with a stay at Refugio Amazonia) to the discerning traveller who would love to discover the ultimate wilderness but still enjoy plenty of luxurious creature comforts (opt for a Delfin III cruise).

No matter which style of Amazon tours you prefer, rest assured that you will have an incredible, life-changing experience. All visits to the Amazon are immersive and are about discovering and connecting with nature, spotting an array of sensational wildlife and learning about the indigenous communities that call the rainforest home. How immersive your tour gets is totally up to you – there's no 'one-fit-all' approach to planning Amazon cruises and tours, so whatever desire, dream, or need you have, you will find a tour that matches your needs.

Planning a visit to the Amazon is not as difficult as you might imagine, Since the rainforest spans across several countries in South America, it's easy to find an itinerary that suits your other travel plans, whatever they may be. Our  South America BIG FIVE Explorer covers the continent’s top 5 highlights – naturally, it includes a 3-night stay in Peru’s Amazon Rainforest.

Here’s just a taste of what we offer:

Amazon Lodge-based Tours

Embark on one of our lodge-based tours for the ultimate immersive journey into the heart of the rainforest. Stay in eco-friendly lodges nestled amidst lush foliage and explore the biodiverse wilderness with expert guides. With daily excursions like jungle treks and canoe rides, you’ll have ample chances to spot a cacophony of wildlife – from giant river otters and sloths, to capybaras, monkeys and, for the very lucky, ever-elusive jaguars. The Amazon is also home to 2,000 species of spectacular birds, including toucans, hummingbirds and macaws. Our guides are passionate about the Amazon and are dedicated to ensuring that you have a safe, educational, and utterly memorable experience.

Luxury Amazon Cruises

For those seeking a more luxurious experience, our Amazon cruises offer unparalleled comfort and elegance amidst the wild beauty of the rainforest. Relax in spacious air-conditioned cabins, savour delicious cuisine prepared by renowned chefs, and unwind on deck as you soak in the sights and sounds of the Amazon passing by. Yes, that’s as tough as it sounds! Make sure to take advantage of on-land walks and excursions to squeeze the most out of your experience.

Peru Amazon tours and cruises are popular and can be seamlessly combined with visits to the Andes and Machu Picchu on Peru Tours.
