Amazon Expeditions Cruise (7 Nights)
The line's most comprehensive Peruvian Amazon voyage, sailing both of the river's major tributaries, the Marañón and the Ucayali, plus several hidden blackwater lakes. The operator prices the seven-night at a 5% lower nightly rate than its shorter itineraries and recommends it as the best chance of anacondas and black caiman.
