The World's Most Pristine Forests
Central Amazon, Brazil and Peru
At the heart of the vast Amazon basin is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that’s considered to contain the greatest diversity of animals on earth; one in 10 known species on earth live here. This ecological Eden, covering 1.7 billion acres, is home to 30-foot-long green anacondas, freshwater dolphins, and catfish that live on land and breathe air.
How to Go: Head deep into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve on a five-day Travcoa custom itinerary, part of it spent aboard the m/v Aqua, the first true luxury ship to cruise the northern Amazon. Activities include seeking out giant river otters and fishing for piranha.
