Peru: Amazon – Delfin 1 – Day 1

The Amazon River is located in South America and actually originates from a glacier in Colca Canyon, Peru. It's just south of Iquitos, where the Marañón River and the Ucayali river converge, that the Amazon River first shows up on a map. From there, it flows eastward. The spacious yet intimate river cruiser, Delfin 1 features only 4 oversized suites, all with private panoramic terraces, 2 of which offer a private whirlpool for the ultimate treat. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow nature to be part of the natural suite décor, and cabin service 3 times a day ensures that you enjoy the most personalised experience. On the top deck there is a lounge area, bar and entertainment centre which are perfect places to relax in while the jungle unfolds before your very eyes.
