Dear EXPLORERS and Friends,
Uncover the mysteries of the mighty Amazon as your family travels
into the most pristine depths of the rainforest. The Amazon Voyage,
a remarkable expedition through the world’s
largest and most diverse rainforest, blends superb wildlife viewing
with fine accommodations, delicious food and attentive service.
Daily
excursions into the rainforest provide opportunities to glimpse
a number of primate species (monk sakis, red howler and squirrel
monkeys), up to 100 kinds of birds, and nocturnal wildlife such
as caimans, capybaras and common potoos. You might even see the
endangered giant otter or the rare harpy eagle.
Aboard our expedition
ship, La Amatista, you’ll enjoy well-appointed, air-conditioned
cabins and private baths. A dining parlor and expansive observation
deck, along with expert wildlife interpretation by local naturalist
guides, create a perfect combination of comfort and adventure.
A Family Director will lead young explorers in games, science
experiments, photography lessons and much more.
For more information or to make your reservation, contact the
Alumni Association at (312) 966-8535 or (800) 556-2586.
Sincerely,

Loren R. Taylor
President & CEO
University of Illinois Alumni Association
