The La Perla Naturalist team led us on a wonderful tour of the Amazon. Their excitement to share their regional knowledge was infectious. I was amazed by their ability to recognize all the distinct sounds the different birds and monkeys made. They were even able to “call” monkeys closer to our group! We went out on various trips looking for wildlife and always had success in finding different creatures… from birds to spiders and finally an anaconda! I appreciate that we also had Marco there to support as the ships paramedic. That really made everyone feel safe as we did several nature hikes. The food was also top notch! We had all types of different local cuisine. The chef even mixed things up with Italian and Asian nights! At night before dinner, the staff became musicians and entertained us with local music. They were spectacular! The team at La Perla thought of everything. You will not be disappointed if you choose La Perla for your Amazon tour.

Cruising the Amazon

We had a memorable experience on our 7 day 6 night cruise with La Perla. This was actually our first cruise EVER! The boat had everything we needed, private rooms with bathrooms, AC, comfortable common areas, amazing food. We were even able to watch the World Cup games. The crew and guides were amazing. Daniel and Victor were extremely knowledgeable. Their love of the Amazon, the people and the wildlife was evident. They were excited to share this unbelievable place they call home. The crew!! Oh my!! They are VERY talented musicians. They play for us for 3 night! So much fun. So happy we chose La Perla.

Amazing experience

We were on a 4-day cruise, and the trip exceeded all of our expectations. The meals were delicious, and the cabin was very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water, and the water pressure was excellent. We ate well and slept comfortably throughout the trip. The service on board was top-notch. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Our room was always well-kept and clean. There were also multiple activities offered throughout the day, which kept the experience exciting and engaging. We saw many birds and monkeys, went piranha fishing, and even had the opportunity to swim in the Amazon River. The naturalist guides were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. They could identify birds by sound and even mimic their calls, which was amazing to witness. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the jungle and would highly recommend it. The only thing we wished for was spotting an anaconda!

The staff did more than their best to make you feel comfortable and memorable and the naturalists had a lot of knowledge. It is also important that the whole fleet participates in project that supports the nature and the local communities. Great trip with wonderful memories.

Exceeded our expectations

We take the 6 Day Tour, it's worth it Take the longest tour. From the reservation the treatment was professional, proactive and friendly. Very friendly crew. With morning and afternoon boat trips, guides Roger and Victor enthusiastically and wisely teach life in the Amazon. With a maximum capacity of 28 passengers the boat is super comfortable. Thanks to the guides we saw many birds, anteaters, monkeys, alligators, sloth, anacondas, alligators and dolphins. We weigh piranhas, wear a shaman, dress communities. We really enjoyed it. The tour exceeded our expectations.
