Amazon
Boat Safaris
Come explore the real Amazon by taking a boat safari into
the Anavilhanas Archipelago, where you will see the unique ecosystems
of the Rio Negro. This great arm of the Amazon River, which branches
to the north just above Manaus, is characterized by its dark acidic
water where few insects can breed — hence an almost mosquito
free environment! This also accounts for a unique ecological habitat
which differs from the rest of the Amazon River areas around Manaus. |

Peruvian Amazon
As
the M/V Delfins I, II & III or the M/V Aria skirt the edges of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, located on the headwaters
of the Amazon basin, you will become one of only a handful of seasoned
world travelers ever to have reached this remote, remarkably beautiful
destination. Pacaya-Samiria spans more than five million acres,
making it twice the size of Yellowstone Park and it is rich with
wildlife and aquatic life. |

In the southernmost region of the world, where the Andes Mountains
meet the sea, and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans merge, silence is
stirring, and the flora, fauna and dramatic scenery arouse the senses.
This wild and magic area of glaciers, snow-clad mountains, sea lions,
penguins and lush vegetation is witness to the passage of the Cruceros
Australis Expedition Cruises. Come

beauty, indomitable, unspoiled and imposing.
