| AMAZON TOURS AND CRUISES with DAWN ON THE AMAZON |
| Amazon tours and Amazon cruises on the upper Amazon River and its tributaries from Iquitos, Peru. Study rainforest flora and fauna. Add over 200 tropical birds to your list bird watching. Watch for pink dolphins. Catch the fiercest freshwater fighters on the planet, peacock bass. Or just get away from it all with a jungle walk in the middle of the Amazon rain forest. The Dawn on the Amazon riverboat is big enough to be comfortable and small enough to access the tributaries and lagoons where larger cruise ships can not go. |
