The Amazon Rainforest is the world's largest container of tropical animals and plants. Covering 40% of South America, this is an incredible wilderness where you can enjoy many incredible wildlife watching opportunities, exciting activities, relaxing vacations, and even survival and camping for the more adventurous.

There are some great places for the best Amazon Rainforest tours. Crossing nine different areas, the main areas to access the Amazon are Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. There are also some fantastic combination tours to join with your Amazon Rainforest experience, such as visiting the incredible Galapagos Islands, trekking to see Machu Picchu, Peru’s most famous cultural attraction, or combining tours with the cloud forest.

Choose fantastic Amazon tours from Puerto Maldonado to enjoy incredible clay licks for hundreds of colorful macaw parrots or even a chance sighting of a tapir. These areas are also some of the best places for seeing wild jaguar sunning themselves on the riverbank.

The northern Amazon, and especially the western Amazon, is where you find the top Amazon cruises, such as luxury Amazon River cruises from Iquitos, or Amazon cruises from Manaus in Brazil. Aboard the luxury cruises, however, you will really be looked after. Enjoy gourmet cuisine, luxuriously fitted suites, organic bath products, and incredible views from your suite. In addition, you will enjoy some of the best guided tours to see a fantastic diversity of forest life.

On your Amazon Rainforest tour, explore the forest to catch sight of different animals and plants, such as squirrel monkeys, large and colorful butterflies, fascinating reptiles laying on the branches, and colorful toucans and macaws flying over the river.

Cruises on the Amazon River offer a more contained and hotel-like environment where you explore the rainforest of a day, head out spotting nocturnal wildlife on some nights, but then relax back in your often air-conditioned vessel to talk about what you have seen. Lodges, however, allow you a closer experience of the rainforest. Enjoy drifting off to sleep with the relaxing sounds of this incredible environment, such as frogs and monkeys in the distance.

There are even great lodges in the southern Amazon to enjoy mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, canopy climbing and more. You can also join researchers to see what they're studying in this incredible ecosystem and learn some more about the forest.

Your professional naturalist guide will help you find the Amazon’s top wildlife, including different sloths in the trees, a tamandua anteater poking its head out a tree hole, and much much more.

There are many tours to suit your requirements, no matter if you’re focus is on photography, relaxation, luxury tours, adventure, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and even a more active adventure.
