Location

The sister ship to Aqua Nera, another of our favourites, Aria Amazon journeys along the waterways of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, Peru’s famous ‘Jungle of Mirrors’. The second-largest protected area in the whole Amazon basin, this is a paradise of lagoons, inlets, islands and largely unexplored lush forests.

Accommodation

Designed by the architect Jordi Puig, Aria Amazon ticks a huge number of boxes for those who want to minimise their environmental impact while exploring the Amazon. It has its own water treatment plant and glides along using virtually smoke-free, ultra-fuel-efficient engines.

The vessel only has 16 suites, all of which are immaculately sophisticated and luxurious, featuring hardwood interiors and a full wall of windows to showcase the lushly forested banks as they slip past.
Fully air-conditioned for comfort in a humid environment, each suite also has a lounge area with a daybed. For larger groups, four of the suites are interconnecting.

We love the fact that this boat features indoor and outdoor lounges in addition to its observation deck. There’s an exercise room, an outdoor jacuzzi pool too, and a massage room for extra indulgence.

The restaurant, at the stern of the middle deck, is a great place to watch the minimal wake of the vessel and enjoy sumptuous dishes curated to ensure that at least 70 percent of ingredients are locally sourced. The world-renowned Peruvian chef responsible for the menu has spent his career studying the food and cooking traditions of Amazonia, and it shows.

Experiences

With twice-daily excursions in the company of expert guides and in groups of no larger than 12, those aboard Aria Amazon are guaranteed to have a wonderful experience of the Amazon forests.

  • You’ll venture out from the lower deck in one of the four auxiliary boats and explore the side channels and inlets that are inaccessible to larger vessels.
  • The bilingual guides are immersed in knowledge of the rainforest: its plants and animals, its indigenous cultures, and its planetary importance.
  • Heading out at night-time is a thrilling adventure and an opportunity to see extraordinary nocturnal animals.
  • Canoe, kayak and even swim in the Clavero River. Keep your eyes peeled for pink dolphins in the Ucayali River.
  • Some itineraries visit the Bellavista Nanay market where you can try ‘Suri’, made from caterpillars.
  • Quietly enjoy a picnic between enormous buttress roots while you spot birds.
