Amazon cruise from Manaus

Sailing down the Amazon

The Amazon rainforest is bisected by the mile-wide Amazon River, which fans out into as many as 1,100 tributaries. Not surprisingly, one of the most beautiful ways to see the Amazon is by boat. Cruising on the luxurious sailing ship M/V Desafio from Manaus to the Anavilhanas archipelago - the second largest archipelago in the world - you will see the jungle passing by from the water. Along the way, explore the tributaries in smaller motorized canoes.
