I think it is safe to say this controversy is not over. For now I am happy to think of the Nile as the longest and the Amazon as the largest. If a team of cartographers want to float and measure in comfort from the upper Ucayali or the upper Marañon to the triple frontier on an Amazon cruise, please remember that I am interested.

This story is for any of you that are interested in learning more about an Amazon Cruise from Iquitos Peru to the Triple Frontier. There is no such thing as a typical Amazon Cruise with Dawn on the Amazon. This one certainly isn’t, but you might get an idea of what it could be like to join us on your own Amazon Cruise.

Great Amazon River Raft Race is the longest raft race on the largest river

This could be the greatest adventure you have not discovered until now. The faint of heart need not apply!

The Lonely Planet Travel Guide has this to say about Dawn on the Amazon Tours & Cruises; "This small but cozy outfit offers the best deal for independent travelers. It sports two modernly equipped wooden craft for either day trips or longer river cruises up to two weeks, and you can travel with host Bill Grimes and his experienced crew along the Amazon, or along its quieter tributaries. Dawn on the Amazon has exclusive permission to go twice as far into Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve as any other tour company."
