Anakonda Amazon Cruises COCA, NAPO RIVER, ECUADOR
Although small in size, Ecuador has four distinct worlds — the Galápagos, Andes, coast and Amazon. Of these, the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest is lesser known, but no less incredible. Known as one of the most biodiverse area on Earth, Ecuador’s Yasuní National Reserve features some of the most remote, pristine spaces within the Amazon. A designated UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Yasuní contains 120 reptile species, 170 mammal species, 650 bird species, 1,000 tree species, and thousands of types of insects. For travellers, the best way to experience this awe-inspiring wildlife is aboard one of Anakonda Amazon Cruises’ two vessels — the Anakonda and the Manatee — which navigate along the Napo River, one of the main tributaries of the Amazon River. From air-conditioned suites with panoramic river views to top-deck hot tubs with incredible rainforest vistas, the luxurious amenities of the Anakonda and Manatee vessels allow travellers to observe unparalleled
wildlife sights while enjoying their relaxing adventure. Guests don’t only get to savour
fantastic views. Daily excursions fill each itinerary, bringing passengers into close contact with the Amazon itself, as well as the indigenous communities that inhabit it. Raúl García, founder of the cruise line, has traversed this area for over 40 years, developing a close relationship with the peoples who live there. Through his efforts towards sustainable tourism and the conservation of the Amazon, the local communities get to share in the benefits of the travel industry. When guests aren’t going on kayak
excursions, releasing charapas turtles, or swimming alongside pink river dolphins, there are plenty of on-board activities they can engage in. Whether it be while preparing local food in a cooking class or tasting a gourmet dinner made for them by an expert chef, passengers are treated with personalised care and get the highest-quality service.
