Departing from the frontier town of Lima, Peru, travel upriver toward the confluence of the Río Ucayali and Río Marañón, the inception of the mighty Amazon. From this point, the voyage takes you up ever-smaller waterways, into increasingly remote locations. As you steadily withdraw from all traces of civilization, you become immersed in the very rainforest that breathes life into this entire planet. Outstanding naturalist guides, born and reared in Amazonia, share with you the subtle intricacies of the rainforest and its inhabitants, opening your eyes to the beauty and mystery of a complex ecosystem unlike any other on Earth.
