Our Amazon adventure is just three weeks away and the anticipation is building.
I’ve just published a new blog post sharing what we’re most excited to see on our upcoming Amazon Riverboat Adventure in Peru — from Lima’s historic highlights to wildlife encounters deep in the Pacaya Samiria Reserve.
We’ll explore Lima for a day, fly to Iquitos (the largest city in the world you can’t reach by road!), and board the intimate G Adventures Amatista Riverboat — our home for a week of skiff excursions, community visits, night wildlife spotting, and rainforest immersion.
Some of the things we’re hoping to see:
Parrots, macaws, kingfishers, black‑collared hawks
Jaguars (fingers crossed!), capybaras, sloths, squirrel monkeys
Pink dolphins, giant otters, black caiman, Amazonian manatees
And the incredible Victoria regia water lily — with 3‑metre leaves!
If you’re curious about what an Amazon riverboat journey is really like, or dreaming of your own rainforest adventure, I’d love for you to read the full post.
