Expedition yacht for the Peruvian Amazon
Days aboard the &Beyond Amazon Explorer follow the pace of nature, with each itinerary determined by water levels, weather and wildlife. Designed for silence and discovery, the &Beyond Amazon Explorer follows the Amazon River with rainforest textures and Shipibo-inspired patterns. Spacious suites, among the largest in the region, offer a rare sense of tranquility and connection, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the awakening, changing and calming forest. Every detail is deliberate. Large windows blur the line between inside and outside.
The magic of the rainforest
A cruise through the Peruvian Amazon offers an unforgettable journey through lush rainforests, where every bend reveals a new wonder. Cruise winding tributaries by boat, kayak or canoe and spot pink river dolphins, howler monkeys and a colorful birdlife. Guided jungle hikes reveal medicinal plants, ancient trees and secret trails used by local communities for generations. After sunset, night safaris offer a completely different Amazon, of caimans, frogs and the mysterious chorus of the rainforest coming to life.
