A SPECIAL TRAVEL OPPORTUNIT Y FROM SAN DIEGO ZOO WORLDWILD TOURS

Zoological Society of San Diego P.O. Box 120551 San Diego, California 92112

DEAR TRAVELER,

The rain forest of the Amazon Basin fires the imagination of dreamers and explorers, hinting at an adventure like no other. Beyond the frontier along the river’s edge, daily excursions allow you to discover the secrets hidden under the rich canopy and along narrow tributaries. Be amazed by the symphony of cicadas and tree frogs, howls from the howler monkeys, and songs from the many species of birds found here. Spend evenings cruising the headwaters of Earth’s most legendary river, stargazing and storytelling as Peruvian lore becomes part of your personal story.

The Amazon Voyage includes a variety of f lexible activity options, including swimming, bird-watching, jungle walks, kayaking, village visits, peaceful excursion boat rides, cooking demonstrations and more so that you can enjoy an enriching and fun adventure. Against a backdrop of rain forest and water, create a lifetime of memories!

Join us in exploring the diverse ecosystems that make up the heart of Earth’s greatest wilderness!

Sincerely, Amy Parrott Director of Major Gifts San Diego Zoo WorldWild Tours

More than 1,300 species of birds, 40,000 plant species, and gray and pink river dolphins can be found in the lush, ever-changing jungle we know simply as “The Amazon.” Enjoy unprecedented access to three habitats—varzea, igapó, and palm-flooded forest— including the deep reaches of the protected Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, for the greatest diversity of wildlife sightings. Nighttime excursions may reveal caimans, capybaras, common potoos, frogs, and other nocturnal wildlife. Periodically throughout the year, guests may even release turtle hatchlings. Your daily excursions include early morning birding, enriching presentations, school visits in local villages, and even piranha fishing! Learn about the lives of the Ribereño people as we visit villages perched along the riverbanks. This is a fantastic opportunity to stroll through their gardens, learning about medicinal plants from a local shaman. Depending on the villages visited during your voyage, you may also see an International Expeditions-funded water treatment tower or home filtration systems.

Pointing out details no guidebook could provide are your IE Expedition Leader and the ship’s team of world-class naturalists, while Zafiro’s attentive 22-member crew ensures exceptional service on the river. (B,L,D Daily)
