On this Amazon Expedition you will experience the biggest equatorial forest in the world, a place that holds 20% of the world’s fresh water and 10% of the world’s biodiversity. The rainforest is home to more than two-thirds of the world’s population of plant species and the river is home to over five thousand species of fish. Students will explore the Amazon while sleeping in hammocks on our specialized boat, learning from local guides, and eating regional foods from our restaurant boat.
