DELFIN III
Cruising the Amazon in Delfin III has been a must-once-in-a-lifetime experience, and breathtaking too!! Not only is the boat beautiful and comfortable, but the food is outstanding and the guides know the environment very well. The cabins are very comfortable, almost like being at home. The experience of walking in the middle of the jungle and coming across animals in their habitat (a boa, sloths, eagles, etc) is very interesting and really make you feel privileged. We did jungle and river excursions, kayaking bird watching and ate delicious gourmet food. I would definitely recommend this experience and would love to go back.
