South America River Cruises

Peru and Amazon

Peru is the twittering songbirds of the Amazon at dawn, the awe-inspiring sight of sunrise at Machu Picchu, and Cusco, the ancient Andean city and former Inca Empire capital. But delve deeper and you’ll find that the many flavours of Peru make an intoxicating holiday cocktail. Your on-board Naturalist will introduce you to an Amazonian world less seen, with giant water lilies with flowers the size of soccer balls, and places where tamarin, spider monkeys and iguanas roam in the rainforest. Head into the jungle on a nocturnal trek and return to a dinner of exquisite Peruvian cuisine. Pause with a Pisco Sour on deck as you live it up with Avalon on a captivating Amazon River Cruise.
