Latin America & the Caribbean


Exploring the Amazon is endlessly rewarding: the people, culture and fauna will show you a way of life so very different from home. On this adventure you’ll have the chance to walk rainforest trails, tour local communities and go in search of elusive wildlife, such as caimans and Pink Dolphins. There’s also the chance to witness a natural phenomenon at the ‘Meeting of the Waters’ and to see a private theatrical performance of the Boi Bumba Festival.


Manaus


Boi Bumba


After setting sail from beautiful Barbados, you’ll make your first stop in the diverse city of Santarém. You can visit the 2,000 kilometres of beaches in the Alter do Chao district – considered the ‘Caribbean of the Amazon’ – and get a taste for traditional local produce at the Mercado Modelo (city market). However, the must-see attraction here is undoubtedly the famous ‘Meeting of the Waters’, where the different coloured Tapajós and Amazon rivers flow side-by-side without mixing – a fascinating natural phenomenon that has to be seen to be believed.


Continue your exploration with a visit to Parintins. The city is host to Brazil’s second biggest festival after Rio’s Carnival – an explosion of colour, culture and sound that is the Boi Bumba. Although the celebrations take place in June, you can still enjoy the carnival atmosphere with a private theatrical performance of the show, where the carnival costumes, tantalising music and alluring story are sure to have you on your feet. Alternatively, admire the cathedral and pick up some souvenirs from the colourful floating market.


Heading deeper into the Amazon, you’ll next visit Manaus, a lively urban sprawl encompassed by rainforest. It’s the gateway to the wonders and wildlife of the Amazon, and with an overnight stay there’s opportunity to really explore in depth. For a real encounter of the tropical sights, sounds and scents, join a jungle trek to explore one of the world’s most important rainforests. Or, perhaps wait until darkness and glide into the flooded forest on a motorised canoe as you search for the elusive caiman – a truly exhilarating experience. There’s also the chance to meet an indigenous Amazon tribe and encounter wild Pink Dolphins.


Some relaxing time at sea will follow as you make the journey back towards the Caribbean. Before heading home from Barbados there will be time to make a stop in Scarborough, Tobago. This animated city boasts bustling shopping streets and a colourful market. Seek out the calmer side though and you’ll uncover many places to relax and grab a bite to eat or soak up the sunshine. The main historical attraction is the Fort King George, which affords superb views of the city and the sea.
