Amazon River Cruise - Adventure Travel in Peru
Join us for the travel adventure of a lifetime as we cruise down the Amazon river in Peru aboard the Delfin I luxury boat. This luxury amazon cruise featured spacious and comfortable rooms along with fine dining and gourmet Amazonian Peruvian cuisine.
By day we did boat tours to spot wildlife (including macaws, monkeys, sloths and pink dolphins), hike in the Amazon rainforest doing a canopy walk, fish for piranhas, kayak down the river and visit remote local villages.
We considered it adventure travel that we'll remember the rest of our lives and we highly recommend you experience this as well.
A special thanks to Rainforest Cruises for hosting our stay:

Amazon River Cruise: Adventure Travel in Peru Video Transcript:
Hello from the shores of the Amazon river. This is a pretty cool place to be wouldn't you say? Yeah, this is a bucketlist item for us definitely. So we are currently cruising down the Amazon with Rainforest Cruises. We're going to be spending four days and three nights aboard the Delfin number one. Yeah, and it is a very luxurious boat. We're doing this in style. It is awesome. We're going to give you a tour of the boat and we'd also like to show you some of the really cool excursions that we're going to be doing over these next three to four days. So come along. Let's go.
This feels like yet another episode of MTV cribs. But come on in. We are staying in the Anaconda suite. Pretty cool. No anaconda sighted so far. But basically this is our little terrace. We have a nice balcony with views of the Amazon river. And yeah we can just hang out here, have drinks, read a book, it is pretty cool.
Alright, and let's check out the inside of our room.
Our first afternoon aboard our Amazon Cruise was pretty relaxed and we got to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets ever.
The following morning called for an early start with everyone ready to board the skiff by 6:30 a.m. Our guide had lured us with the promise of wildlife and a delicious breakfast aboard the boat, and thankfully he delivered on both of those.
That morning we saw countless blue and yellow macaws, a school of pink dolphins playfully breaking through the water, and sloths slowly going about their day.
As for breakfast, the captain took us to a secluded lagoon covered in a blanket of water lettuce, where we parked the boat and enjoyed a three course breakfast featuring: fruit-kebabs, chicken and avocado salad, and hot sandwiches. It was the perfect way to start off our day on the Amazon.
So we are back in the jungle. This afternoon we are doing a jungle walking excursion. And we're also going to be doing a canopy walk across a series of suspension bridges. So we're just on the trail. We've got our rubber boots back on.
Meal times were another highlight of our cruise aboard the Delfin I. They had an international menu sure to satisfy every palate, but they also made sure to use Amazonian ingredients and feature Peruvian-inspired dishes at every meal. Every meal was a delight to our foodie taste buds.
So good morning. It is another beautiful day on the Amazon and we've just finished breakfast and we're now heading out on our first excursion of the day. We will be going piranha fishing and if you watched our previous video we already did that at the treehouse; however, I was very unsuccessful while Sam caught the biggest piraña yet.
So we officially ran out of bait for our piranha fishing so we kind of gave up on that activity. But right now we're trying kayaking down one of the smaller tributaries of the Amazon.
I'm the captain of this ship. And that is a scary thought. Cruising down the Amazon.
So we are about to reach the point where the Ucayali River and the Marañón River meet together to form the Amazon. So that moment calls for a toast.
So here is a toast to travels in the Amazon. Salut!
Yeah, so we're visiting this cool kind of little local village. It is called Sanfrancisco. San Francisco. And it has only been around since 1974 so it is just over 40 years old.
So what are you going to do Audrey? Apparently help squeeze sugarcane.
This is part of our Travel in Peru video series showcasing Peruvian food, Peruvian culture and Peruvian cuisine.

Swimming with piranhas. Night hiking with tarantulas. Playing with sloths. Listening to birds at sunrise. The Amazon is an incredible and unforgettable experience. I hope you can go in person some day, but until then, I hope you enjoy this video.
**What's going on?**
I'm on a business trip with some friends from school. We're visiting a lot of companies and learning about business in Peru and all of Latin America. Between business visits, we're exploring and eating all the food. :)

In this video, we spend three days exploring the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. We left Iquitos via the port Bellavista Nanay, where you can buy fruit and snacks for the boat ride to your camp. You can also eat larvae here.
We stayed at a no frills eco lodge. Generators came on during lunch and dinner so they can cook food. We could charge our batteries during those times, which was fortunate.
Our guide stayed with us for the entirety of our trip and really made the experience great. His name is Andres and we highly recommend him. He gave us tips, insights, and interesting facts about the trees, animals, and people around us. Check him out on facebook here:

0:16 - Bellavista Nanay, eating larvae
0:48 - Cruising the Amazon River
0:58 - Local village - playing with parrots, sloths, snakes, anteaters, alligators, and more

Along the Amazon in Peru | DW Documentary
The government intends to expand and deepen the River Amazon’s tributaries to allow passage for large container ships and is meeting stiff resistance from the region’s indigenous peoples.
A decrepit old cargo ship is the only means of transport on the Amazon in Peru. South America's great river is still relatively narrow here, but it’s also the only lifeline for the region's people and economy. We travel on the Eduardo III, an overcrowded steamship on its three-day voyage up the winding river from Yurimaguas to Iquitos. Timber and other goods are loaded in chaotic ports, and people doze in hammocks on the cramped passenger deck as the ship passes through one of the last untouched natural paradises in the world. If Peru's government goes ahead with its plans, the Amazon region in the northeast of the country will soon be developed and links to the country’s economic infrastructure significantly improved. A Chinese company, for example, is to deepen the Amazon tributaries Marañón, Ucayali and Huallaga to allow large container ships all-year passage. But the excavation project is highly controversial and the region’s indigenous peoples are putting up a stiff fight against it. Water has a deep spiritual meaning for the tribes of the Amazon, who believe the spirits of their ancestors live on in the river. But will Peru’s advocates of progress allow objections like that to get in their way of their plans?

Village Food in AMAZON RAINFOREST - Lemongrass Ants + EXOTIC Energy Drinks! | Manaus, Brazil!

Thanks to Guilherme ( for taking us around Brazil. #Brazil #Amazon #AmazonFood
MANAUS, BRAZIL - During my food trip to Brazil there was no place I wanted to visit more than the Amazon Rainforest. We flew to Manaus (if you look at a map, Manaus is directly in the heart center of the Amazon). The jungle, the unique dishes and fruits, and the people made it incredible.
Exotic fruit tasting - One of the things that you have to do when you’re in Brazil, especially in the Amazon is sample all the unique and indigenous fruits of the region, some that are only available there. We started with mari-mari, an amazing long pod fruit and have inga (ice cream bean fruit) and biribá - wild sugar apple. All the fruit - 10 BRL ($2.55)
Manaus is a pretty big city, especially for being in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. They have a big market, full of fruits, vegetables and fish. We headed straight for some tucumã, a type of palm tree fruit that’s essential in the local diet.
Jenipapo - Along the way we also tried some jenipapo, a pretty unique fruit.
Tucumã sandwiches - Sandwich shop owners better take note! Tucumã sandwiches are a true Amazonian food and they are delicious. Along with the palm fruit they were paired with cheese and fried sweet banana. It’s a perfect breakfast and way to start the day in the Amazon. Price - about 10 BRL ($2.55) per sandwich
Tambaqui fish - Tambaqui is a fish from the Amazon that’s known for having ribs - seriously almost like pork ribs. We decided to get a fish to bring to the village since we weren’t sure what they’d have al the village.
Amazon village - We didn’t really have a plan, we were just going to find a boat driver and ask him to take us to a village and see if anyone could cool. So we got a boat, and our boat driver asked if they were home and if we could invite ourselves in. We arrived completely unplanned and unannounced and it turned out to be an outstanding learning experience and fun time with an amazing family in the Amazon.
Along with the food we brought, the family mixed up about 4 different exotic drinks - some of them known in the Western world as ingredients in trendy energy drinks - but here in the Amazon of Brazil they are consumed regularly.
It was such an awesome Brazilian Amazonian food meal with the family followed by a time of drumming and dancing, football, and finally a swim in the river. It was an extraordinary day in the Amazon of Brazil.

What to expect staying in a rainforest lodge in Peru ????????
As part of our superb Peru tour with GAdventures, we visited the amazing Tambopata Eco Lodge for 2 nights, led by our friendly, well informed guide, Leo.
We stayed in a bungalow with no electricity and solar heated shower, which might sound a bit rustic but was actually lovely. Well equipped with a real bathroom, flushing toilet, real beds and mosquito nets, table, chairs and hammock!
The restaurant served excellent, fresh buffet food and in the bar you could buy an ice-cold beer in the evening while they ran the generators for a couple of hours until blackout. After this all you could see were fireflies!
We did a night wildlife walk on the first evening, taking strong advice to tuck trousers into socks to stop ants crawling into socks/shoes. Then the second morning we did an early morning explore, spotting wildlife all the way.
This was an awesome experience, really well prepared, really well guided, yet still felt like miles from civilisation!
Amazon rainforest, Amazon river, and Napo river via Iquitos, Peru.
For now Iquitos can only be reached by plane or by boat. Most flights to Iquitos originate from Lima. My flight with Star Perú had a short stop in Tarapoto only long enough to exchange some passengers.The total journey took about two hours.
Upon arrival at Iquitos airport, I was welcomed by an intense heat blended with high humidity. As I approached the city center, the heat and humidity were worsen by air pollution. With thousands of unregulated vehicle emissions, Poor air quality in the city in this climate wasn't very friendly to people's lungs. So, I spent the majority of my stay in the jungle, where better air quality combined with nice cool breeze made it more enjoyable...and healthier.
The Amazon rainforest isn't just important to the climatic and ecological balance, but also to the development of pharmaceutical products. Twenty five percent of modern pharmaceutical ingredients are derived from sources in the Amazon rainforest today. But only 1% of its medicinal potential has been discovered!

iquitos Travel notes:
Remember that it's very hot and humid here. Dress accordingly. It can be steaming hot even at dawn!
Iquitos is a big city, relatively, with many choices for restaurants and hotels, ranging from five-star to zero-star lodging. Most have air conditioning, something you may find to be a necessity, especially when you're not used to the intense heat and high humidity. The city center is generally safe, but just keep your radar active for suspects of petty crimes. You'd see many police hanging around in tourist-frequent areas. Laundry service is reasonable. It cost me about $US 2 for a bag of laundry the size of a large backpack, and it took about 4 hours for turnaround, neatly folded!
Jungle notes:
To enjoy the walk in the very wet and muddy jungle, get yourself a good pair of rubber boots with good traction. Poncho without proper ventilation can be uncomfortable in the jungle at this elevation. So, use a raincoat with good ventilation as you walk in the Amazon jungle. Also use insect repellants because there are literally billions of them waiting for you in the jungle. And they do bite.
Happy trekking!

Anaconda in the Amazon Jungle
Hello everybody. This is a video I am not particularly proud of. Looking back in time this is a thing I wouldn't do now and I regret doing. Both fishing the piranhas or annoying the anaconda were stupidities that violated animals. Now I am learning more about the rights of animals and trying to respect nature in every possible way. Cheers to all and sorry for the disturbing images

PERU - AMAZON RAINFOREST (PART 5) - PERUVIAN TRIBE
AMAZON RAINFOREST
The Amazon rainforest ,also known in English as Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres of which 5,500,000 square kilometres are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations contain Amazonas in their names. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees divided into 16,000 species.

Fishing for Piranhas in the Amazon River in Peru
As part of our adventure in the Peruvian Amazon we had the opportunity to go piranha fishing. Neither of us was particularily skilled at catching piraña - especially compared to our two guides who caught many. Come find out if we were successful or not catching them ourselves.

Fishing for Piranhas in the Amazon River in Peru Travel Video Transcript:
So it is 9 AM and we're back on the water and it is a beautiful morning to be out. We're going to try and spot some wildlife. Oh!
So Sam? Are you hoping to spot anything in particular today? Yes, I would like to see that bird we saw this morning for breakfast. We didn't film it but it was a beautiful brown bird with like huge wings and it looked a little bit like an eagle.
We found something.
So we went out for a little excursion this morning and we've been traveling upstream and now we've arrived at a prime location to fish piranhas. So Sam, how are you feeling about that? I'm feeling good because you're going to stick your fingers in and they're going to bite them, right? What? Just kidding we actually have fishing rods.
So first up we are emptying our boat because there is a little too much water in it. And we wouldn't want to sink when there is piranhas in the water now would we Sam? No, we would not.
So over there is the bait. We're just getting that ready to put on the hook.
Bait for the piranhas. And there is the bait. I don't want to use my fingers. Hahahaha.
This is the way how to hook the bait. You make it a double hook. A double hook. Just like that. Throw it in the water.
So we are going to use this small fish. Ah! To feed the piranha. Oh my gosh.
Almost, almost.
It was there.
I heard the bite.
You want to try and splash the water. That is the way how to attract the piranha. Splash the water to call the piraña. Come over!
Okay, so I'm going to try my hand at fishing for piranha. I've got the bait here. Right here. Let's do this. I'm scared. So lure it over. Lure it over Audrey. Jerk it up and down. Splash it around.
Up and down, splash it around. Do you feel anything? No. Not yet? We're still trying to get them to come over.
Is that a piraña? No it is a sardine. Freshwater sardine. It ate it.
False alarm. False alarm.
I feel a tug. No, they just ate half of the fish. They ate half of the fish. Yeah, oh no. Hahahaha.
Look at that. Our first piranha.
Jeez, they're ugly.
I would not want to be bitten by one of those. What do you think Audrey? That is scary. It looks like something out of a horror movie. Look at those things. Sharp as heck.
We got one. Andres got one. Let's see it? Look at it. That is a big one. A big one. That is way bigger than the other one. Wow. Oh, maybe I have one too. Oh no. Never mind.
I haven't had any luck so far so we're letting Sam try his hand once again.
Oh, another! Piraña number three.
This one can reach like this size. Like big. Holy crap. That is huge. How many years? How many years would it take to get that big? In five years.
Oh. Oh. It's a branch. Oh yeah. Expert branch fisher over here. Expert branch fisher. No piranhas so far just branches.
You got one! You got one! Show it to us. I finally caught one. It was a big one too. Film it. Oh there it is.
It was probably my 20th attempt and I was not going to give up until I got one. There it is. There it is. Congratulations. There is dinner. There is dinner.
You never gave up and finally got one. Now we are going to see its teeth.
So mission accomplished. Time to head back for lunch but we're going to be having these for dinner. So that is pretty exciting.
It is wet! It's wet!
Okay, so this morning we went fishing for piranha and now we are having it for dinner.
And that is the big one I caught. Yeah, Sam got the big one. The grande.
There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of meat there. No, there is not.
As a tip if you're going to try your hand at fishing for piraña in the Amazon be sure to be patient because it took us nearly 20 attempts to finally make our first catch. The piranha are really skilled at just biting the bait and not getting hooked.

While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

Iquitos Peru Amazon Basin Rainforest Jungles
Iquitos Amazonia-Survival in the Central Amazon Rainforest Jungles
We have visited Iquitos, the capital of Amazon Jungles, very wild place! Linked to the outside world by air and by river, Iquitos is the world’s largest city that cannot be reached by road. It’s a prosperous, vibrant jungle metropolis teeming with the usual, inexplicably addictive Amazonian anomalies. Unadulterated jungle encroaches beyond town in full view of the air-conditioned, elegant bars and restaurants that flank the riverside; motorized tricycles whiz manically through the streets yet locals mill around the central plazas eating ice cream like there is all the time in the world. Mud huts mingle with magnificent tiled mansions; tiny dugout canoes ply the water alongside colossal cruise ships. You may well arrive in Iquitos for the greater adventure of a boat trip down the Amazon but whether it’s sampling rainforest cuisine, checking out the buzzing nightlife or exploring one of Peru’s most fascinating markets in the floating shantytown of Belén, this thriving city will entice you to stay awhile.
Because everything must be ‘imported,’ costs are higher than in other cities.
