Anakonda Amazon Cruise Journey - Ecuador Tour

The Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest is a unique living treasure. The ecosystems in this paradise harmonically interact with each other to maintain the natural balance of the environment.

The amazon basin is one of the most important natural places in the World, commonly identified as “the lungs of the World”; it is also a magnificent place to enjoy an incredible adventure by discovering mysterious untamed primary forest filled with life and enchanting landscapes.

We cannot imagine a more exciting way to discover the Rainforest than Cruising the Amazon River’s Ecuadorian tributaries on board an incredible River cruise. The journey allows you to enjoy activities like kayaking and swimming, daily/nightly tours through the jungle to spot monkeys, caimans, snakes, insects, spiders, birds and visit to ancestral Indigenous communities, camp-fire on an islet in the middle of the wide river and more.

The comfort and friendly service provided on board, experienced guides and crew plus delightful food are definitely the perfect complement to life a real adventure in the Jungle in style.
