Amazon River Expedition: A Cultural Cruise from Barbados to the Heart of Brazil - Swan Hellenic

Amazon River Expedition: A Cultural Cruise from Barbados to the Heart of Brazil - Swan Hellenic

خط السير يوماً بيوم

Two days in sun-drenched Bridgetown give way to the Dutch colonial grandeur of Paramaribo, before a day ashore on the haunting Îles du Salut — where jungle has reclaimed the old prison walls. Entering the Amazon via Macapá, the pace slows and the wilderness deepens: the Rio Cajari Extractive Reserve, the serpentine channels of the Furo do Cujubá, the car-free river city of Afuá, and finally the mesmerising Breves Narrows, before arriving in the magnificent, mango-shaded streets of Belém

Navigating Brazil's Breves Narrows, upriver from Belem in the Thousand Islands region, is a mesmerising Amazonian journey. This natural passage, surrounded by towering walls of lush vegetation, creates a secluded green canyon in the heart of the jungle. Enigmatic wildlife such as scarlet macaws, and equatorial flora such as giant Victoria water lilies flourish. The welcoming locals, known as ribeirinhos, offer warm hospitality

Once one of South America's most prosperous cities, known as ‘tropical Paris’, today Belém remains a thriving port and is the gateway to the Amazon.
