La Perla Cruise

La Perla Amazon River Cruise

Sailing aboard La Perla is an invitation to immerse yourself in the authentic Amazon, embarking on a journey into the heart of the jungle’s most hidden depths. It’s a magical adventure that reveals untouched, unexplored corners and connects you directly with the vastness of nature. Here, the focus is on embracing the authenticity of the planet and, most importantly, rediscovering the essence of yourself.

La Perla Amazon Cruise

The Peruvian Amazon is a place where magic is ever-present. Every creature and every hidden corner holds a unique essence, waiting to be uncovered. Only those who have spent years living and studying the Amazon can truly understand its wonders and convey its secrets. Aboard La Perla, our expert naturalist guides, with over 20 years of experience, will lead you on an unforgettable journey, helping you to feel the culture and spirit of Amazonian life as if it were part of your very being.

La Perla is a vessel designed with the comfort of travelers in mind, offering an unparalleled journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. It grants access to untouched, magical locations, thanks to its shallow draft, enabling navigation through areas that many other boats cannot reach.

To further enhance the experience, auxiliary boats equipped with outboard motors provide the perfect means to explore the Amazon’s most remote corners. These smaller boats allow you to venture into hidden lagoons, narrow canals, winding streams, and flooded forests, ensuring an intimate connection with the region’s natural wonders.
