Amazon cruise or lodge: key benefits
Should you choose an Amazon Cruise or opt for a jungle lodge? Find out the key differences and benefits for each.
Escape civilisation to secluded areas of pristine rainforest, and immerse yourself in the untamed wilds of the jungle.
The Amazon Rainforest is located in a vast basin that covers over one third of Brazil and is considered to be the lungs of the world. Hidden beneath the thick rainforest canopy is an ecosystem of extraordinary biodiversity and home to a spectacular array of flora and fauna. A journey into the Amazon is a magical encounter with nature, escaping civilisation to reach secluded areas of pristine rainforest and immerse yourself underneath an infinite ocean of stars whilst sleeping in the jungle. The interior of the region would be almost impenetrable were it not for the mighty Amazon River, which acts as a highway running from its source in the Andes Mountains down to the Atlantic Ocean in northern Brazil. Local communities straddle the banks of the river, forging a living and navigating the huge networks of tributaries and waterways.
