BAYFIELD, CO, September 26, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- This exciting GreenTracks package combines the grandeur of the mightiest river in the world, the Amazon, with the mystery and incredible sights of Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Experience diverse geography, wildlife, culture and history in one unforgettable trip.
Years of experience exploring the Amazon enables GreenTracks to offer a unique cruise experience. The GreenTracks Amazon Riverboat Cruise is an ecotour adventure aboard a fully restored rubber boom-era riverboat. There are several excursions daily off the riverboat, led by GreenTracks-trained, bilingual Naturalist Guides. There are hikes by both day and night on rainforest trails in search of interesting animals, multicolored butterflies, bizarre insects, exotic flowers and gigantic trees. Using small excursion boats, explore the creeks and oxbow lakes in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve in search of wildlife. After dark, you can do the same in search of caiman and colorful frogs and hear the incredible night sounds of the jungle.
These are 7 day/6 night cruises departing from Iquitos, Peru, on scheduled dates. Group size is always small, typically 8 - 12 people. The Amazon riverboat has plenty of room to spread out and relax. Each cabin is air conditioned with a private bath. There is an enclosed air-conditioned dining room and an outdoor bar area. Meals of both international and regional cuisine are served buffet-style. A GreenTracks Amazon Riverboat Cruise is fun, stimulating and educational. With 18 years of operation GreenTracks has provided memorable experiences of the Amazon to thousands of travelers.
The Legendary "Lost City of Machu Picchu" is without a doubt the most important attraction in Peru and one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites.
