Peru offers explorers the most direct and accessible path to the heart of the Amazon. Iquitos in Northeastern Peru, where the Aqua Nera sets sail, is just a two - hour flight from the capital and international air hub of Lima and the archeological treasure trove of Cusco.

Surrounding Iquitos is lush Amazon territory — a region comprising the head of the Amazon River and the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. Here the upriver Amazon waters are low in sediment and rich in aquatic life, with an astonishing concentration of wildlife on land.
