Amazon River Cruises

The Amazon River is located in South America and has the distinction of being the largest river by volume in the world. The amount of water in this river is more than the next largest rivers put together. The drainage basin is also the largest of its kind in the world. As far as length is concerned, it is second to the Nile. Some experts declare a toss up when it comes to which river is longest. Another interesting fact is that nowhere is the Amazon crossed by a bridge. One way to experience this majestic river for yourself is on Amazon river cruises.

One way to cruise the mighty Amazon is with an Ecuador rainforest cruise. One example of such a cruise is the five day excursion available from Amazon Cruises. This cruise is taken in the Napo Basin where the basin and its tributaries will be traveled. You will get to travel along the Aguarico and Napo Rivers as well. On this cruise you will get to see amazing scenery and exotic wildlife as much of the cruise takes place in the Yasuni National Park and the Limoncocha animal reserve. There are so many amazing species of plant and animal life in Yasuni that UNESCO has declared it a World Biosphere.

You might be wondering what kind of exciting activities you will get to enjoy on such a cruise. Activities do vary from cruise to cruise, but may include things like jungle exploration. Bird watching, camping, canoe trips and much more. Examples of animals you may see on an Amazon adventure include three-toed sloths, scarlet macaws, red howler monkeys and even Amazon pink river dolphins. If you are extremely lucky, you may spot a jaguar. There are only one or two jaguar sightings per year on average.

Of course, it is not necessary to spend days on a boat to enjoy the wonders of the Amazon. There are sightseeing trips that last only a few hours available as well. Many of these cruises include narration by knowledgeable jungle guides. If you can, bring your camera. You definitely want to capture as many images of your journey into the Amazon rainforest as you can. Amazon river cruises are the perfect way to enjoy this beautiful and exotic landscape in comfort and safety.
