THE AMAZON
RIVER ON THE RIVERBOAT TUCANO

There are
few adventures, or dreams, equal to that of slowly cruising the
Amazon River in a traditional riverboat, watching pink dolphins
flash to the surface, hearing the screech of macaws and parrots
overhead, and listening to the whooping calls of a Howler Monkey
on shore. At night, the southern stars shine brightly, and occasional
bats swoop over the water. Searches by launch and on foot reveals
a myriad of colorful birds, painted frogs, and perhaps four or five
differnt kinds of monkeys, from tiny Tamarins to large Red Howlers.
Careful scanning of the branches reveals Sloths hanging, their fur
greenish from algae. Evening searches with lights reveals the red
glow of the eyes of Caimans, and a sudden splashing may reveal a
Capybara feeding on the side of the river.
Join
us on the trip of a lifetime, in the company of just 14 others,
as we discover the wonders of the Amazon, the most diverse and wildlife-rich
place on Earth.
