We built our Amazon River boats of beautiful tropical hardwoods, retro-designed from the rubber boom era. The boats give you the feeling of following the flow of the river back in time to a way of life that no longer exists in most of the civilized world. Along the way you will discover that life has not changed much the last hundred years in the upper Amazon rainforest.
We looked over the rail of our Amazon river boat, the Dawn on the Amazon, and were surprised to see a sloth swimming for all she was worth. Sloths are strong swimmers, but this sloth was going nowhere, her three toe claws were tangled in the brush.
Dawn on the Amazon Tours and Cruises builds their own Amazon River boats, builds their own web sites, takes their own photographs, and writes their own articles.
