What types of adventures await you in the Amazon Rainforest?
One of the best parts about adventuring in the Amazon Rainforest is the wealth of diverse activities awaiting you each and every day. An Amazon Rainforest tour will introduce you to exhilarating adventure opportunities both on water and on land.
The expansive and lush rainforest that covers this region provides endless opportunities for hiking and spotting wildlife. Traverse the dense jungle trails and spot owl monkeys, pygmy marmosets and black tamarins. And for those with a zest for flying high, hike through the forest to reach a canopy zipline and enjoy the landscape from above.
The adventures available on the lakes and rivers of the Amazon Rainforest are no less exciting than those on land. Canoe oxbow lakes and navigate flooded forests where you’ll search for unique wildlife, such as the titi monkey or the pink lake dolphin. Local spearfishing and Piranha fishing also top the list of highly sought-after adventures in the Peruvian Amazon.
No matter how you spend your days there is always one last adventure to enjoy before tucking in for the night -- stargazing riverside where you’ll enjoy the magical constellations above with the sounds of the jungle all around you!
