The Peruvian Amazon is a world shaped by water, transformed with each rise and fall of the river. When the water runs high, glide by skiff or kayak between the trees; as it recedes, step ashore onto forest trails. Aboard the intimate Delfin II and Delfin III—members of the Relais & Châteaux collection—you’ll explore hidden corners of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, venturing into narrow tributaries, blackwater lakes and secluded channels few travelers ever see.
Experienced local naturalists interpret distant calls and subtle movements, revealing wildlife that might otherwise remain hidden—from pink river dolphins to macaws, sloths and caimans. Return after dark as the nocturnal forest comes alive, and capture each discovery with a certified photo instructor. A visit to a ribereños community offers another perspective on this living wilderness and the people whose lives are shaped by the river.
“The jungle at the headwaters of the Amazon lives and breathes. It is an entity unto itself.”

"The Amazon is one of my favorite destinations on Earth," says Expedition Leader Carlos Romero, who has been working with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions for over three decades. “The endless river, the endless greenery, and the endless opportunities to learn and look for wildlife make this place very special.” As guests explore aboard the 14-suite Delfin II, they’ll encounter the rainforest’s rare creatures and welcoming riverside communities in the most authentic way possible. In this episode of In Good Company, Romero shares why he thinks every traveler should experience this biodiverse region at least once in their lifetime.
