Amazon River cruise
Amazon Cruise
The Amazon is the green ocean. The lung of the earth. With its 4 million km² of the richest forest in the world. It alone hosts 50% of animal species and 80% of the world’s plants. She lived the gold rushes, the rubber, the giant trees … Between Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. The equatorial forest harbors a fabulous biodiversity. The density of the forest makes the observation of birds and mammals very difficult. The macaws fly over the trees, the caimans see each other at night … The jungle is not a zoo but a wonder where discovery is essential, and varies from one cruise to another.
