All PeruNorth's Peruvian Amazon cruises start and finish in Iquitos, located on the banks of the Amazon River; or the city of Nauta, a 90-minute drive south from Iquitos Airport, on the fringes of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve.

Both cities are found in the enormous Department of Loreto, which dominates north-east Peru.

In fact, two-thirds of Peru's land mass is covered by Amazon rain forest, much of it unspoiled and waiting to be explored, making it an ideal destination for Amazon tours.

Iquitos, which is the largest city in the world only accessible by plane or by waterway, is surrounded by the Amazon Rainforest in all directions, much of it protected by national parks and reserves.

From Iquitos, it is possible to cruise down the Amazon River all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, at Belem in Brazil, where the mighty Amazon empties into the sea.

However, most Amazon cruises head in the other direction, upstream to the the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, a protected area of flooded forests containing five million acres of rich ecological diversity, and home to iconic Amazonian flora and fauna such as river dolphins, giant otters, macaws, Victoria Regia water lilies, sloths, and caiman.


Meanwhile, our Ecuadorian Amazon cruises explore the Napo River system, the largest river in Ecuador which joins the Amazon River near Iquitos.

This biodiversity hotspot includes the Yasuni National Park, the largest protected reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the smaller Limoncocha Biological Reserve, which contains some 500 species of bird, centred around a beautiful lake.
