Travel Aboard La Amatista for an
Amazon River Boat Cruise



Our Riverboat, La Amatista


La Amatista Riverboat Cruise on the Amazon Voyage

Experience comfort in the wilds of Peru as you board La Amatista and head into the Amazon River, boat excursions into narrow tributaries and village visits all part of our Amazon tour.

All staterooms aboard the 28-guest La Amatista offer unpretentious comfort featuring air-conditioning; ample storage including closet and under-bed roll-a-way shelves; and writing desk with chair. Roomy bathrooms have hot water showers and designer fixtures. As you stroll down the corridors of La Amatista, your eye can't help but be drawn to the beautiful door and window trimmings, hand-carved by local artisans.

In La Amatista's lovely dining parlor, you will dine in casual elegance. Your palate is rewarded with international cuisine as well as a mixture of dishes whose origin is rooted in Peruvian cooking traditions. These delicious meals are prepared each day from the freshest vegetables, fruit, fish and other local produce. Looking through the bank of floor-to-ceiling windows, you are reminded of the ever-changing exotic and remote beauty that surrounds you.

Intimate and classically styled, La Amatista offers incredible wildlife viewing from a spacious open-air observation deck, with a direct line to the captain's bridge. During your seven nights on the Amazon River, boat excursions in our motorized skiffs allow to to relax and quietly savor the easy pace as the rainforest reveals itself to you. Or, you can enjoy the camaraderie of new friends as you discuss the wonders of the day's excursions or the adventures that await you tomorrow. In the evening, sip coffee in solitude under the expansive opal skies and watch the sun disappear behind yet another limitless expanse of vibrant rainforest as La Amatista cruises slowly up the river.
