Vast swathes of jungle, home to extraordinary tropical plants and an abundance of colourful wildlife, Amazonia will undoubtedly be the highlight of this magnificent six-week adventure that starts the moment you leave British shores.

Enjoy an overnight stay with a full programme of optional tours including a boat trip to view the incredible ‘Meeting of the Waters’. In Parintins you might choose to take in a lively and colourful show recreating the spectacular Boi Bumba Festival. Marco Polo then calls in Alter do Chão where the blue-green waters of the Tapajos River lap at white sand beaches. Continue to Almeirim and Santana, a gateway to Macapá straddling the equator.
