“Peru is many things to many people, and for good reason— it has mountains, beaches, culture, gastronomy, adventure, wildlife, and of course, Machu Pichu and the Amazon. In fact, we are hard-pressed to think of the one thing Peru doesn’t have. Maybe skyscrapers?”

‘The daily itinerary includes morning and afternoon excursions for three hours down the river on motorised skiffs in small groups. The guides really set the trip apart from other tours of the region. Having all grown up here, they are brimming with such a wealth of knowledge that they would even put David Attenborough to shame, and have an inexhaustible passion for their homeland’.

“Next year, Cousteau will return to join select four-, five-, and eight-day Aqua Expeditions sailings from Iquitos to lead talks and excursions, offer videography tips, and screen documentaries on some of the same stretches he filmed with his own children in Return to the Amazon, decades after his first trip.”

“Celebrating a decade of success in 2017, Aqua Expeditions is globally recognised as a leader in small ship river cruising. The first luxury cruise on the Amazon River in Peru, quickly earned accolades for professional guided nature-based adventures combined with sophisticated, architect-designed 5-star boutique hotel accommodations and gourmet cuisine.”
National Geographic Traveler – USA
“Pelicans and painted storks flap past temples that are clad in gold and scarlet. The farmers’ markets smell of lotus of blossoms, catfish, and sandalwood. The banks of the Mekong are a showcase for the senses, and a river cruise between Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, delivers Indochina in all its fabled, fabulous variety. Consider this line, Aqua Mekong.”
