This Peruvian rainforest adventure begins with a 50-mile journey by boat down the Amazon River to your comfortable lodge. On guided hikes through the rainforest, you'll learn how these plants are used in modern medicine and how natives use them for their own medicinal purposes. But the rainforest is much more than just lush vegetation, there's also a host of fascinating animals to be found. You'll explore an oxbow lake by boat, where you can spot the elusive Hoatzin bird as well as the gentle sloth. A stroll on the Canopy Walkway, a 500-meter suspended bridge high in treetops, affords the rare opportunity to glimpse birds where they make their homes. A visit to the locals and a chance to chat with schoolchildren rounds out this exciting Amazon adventure.
