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.
Iquitos Peru is well known as the gateway to Amazon adventures. It is also a charming destination in its own right, deserving at least one or two days to explore, either before or after your Amazon cruise or lodge stay, preferably both. Iquitos is surrounded by rivers and rainforest, with a rich history, and a unique culture that has evolved in isolation from the rest of the civilized world.
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.
Let me tell you this story about our Amazon cruise from Iquitos Peru to Leticia Columbia. I was hired for seven days to guide a family from Poland down the Amazon River as far as the border.
