Pure Amazon: A New Journey Through Peru’s Breathtaking Wilderness
The newly launched 22-passenger riverboat offers unique wildlife experiences across Peru’s vast protected areas.
Exploring the Amazon
Pure Amazon, an A&K Sanctuary, has begun its journey through the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. This riverboat is designed for intimate wildlife encounters over 21,000 square kilometers of protected area. The itineraries available include three, four, and seven-night options that showcase the beauty of the reserve.
Mornings are spent on excursions through serene waterways, where guests can fish for piranha, take guided forest walks, or kayak through narrow tributaries. Afternoons invite relaxation in the spa treatment room or the jacuzzi on the top deck, with evenings devoted to enjoying Amazonian cuisine in the dining room.
As night falls, the riverboat transforms, subtly lit to maintain a natural atmosphere while minimizing disruption to wildlife.
Elegance and Sustainability
Architect Adriana Granato has collaborated with renowned Peruvian artists to enhance Pure Amazon’s spaces and accommodations. The dining room features unique art, including Manto de Escamas de Paiche by Silvana Pestana, which highlights environmental themes related to illegal gold mining.
Eco-friendly design strategies, such as low-level lighting and automated controls, ensure minimal environmental impact. The riverboat boasts a one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, allowing for personalized service at the highest standards.
Culinary Delights from the Amazon
The vessel’s culinary team, rooted in Iquitos, offers a rotating five-course tasting menu complemented by carefully selected Latin American wines. Signature pisco cocktails and refined dishes tell the stories of local ingredients.
Connection with Nature and Community
Guests may encounter pink river dolphins and black caimans while being guided by experienced naturalists. A&K Philanthropy partners with the Nueva Arica community to foster tourism that promotes positive change, including sustainable bio-business initiatives. Visitors also gain insight through interactions with cultural preservation programs supporting local Indigenous communities.
Overall, Pure Amazon invites travelers to experience a harmonious blend of luxury and an authentic connection with the Amazon’s essence.
