Why this trip ?
Pacific and Amazonia, the dream of travellers in search of nature and wildlife.
Our Amazon tours intentionally neglect the most commercial tourist sites, offering a more authentic adventure, the places visited, the routes and the activities carried out will give you the opportunity to penetrate the heart of a region surprising by its diversity of fauna and flora. The Pacific coast has the greatest biodiversity in the country and is the least populated. The Pacific is also home to rainforests, mangroves, pristine beaches, amazing biodiversity, whales and black communities of African descent.
