The Amazon, Peru: Aqua Expeditions; hotel review

12 guest suites; all have outward-facing picture windows and en-suite sitting areas. 3-, 4-, 7-night itineraries.

Beginning in the area where "Fitzcarraldo" (one of my favorite movies) was filmed, this 5-star luxury Aqua Expeditions cruise ventures through rarely-seen areas of the Peruvian Amazon. This is the Royal Scotsman meets the Amazon, with sophisticated cuisine on the menu as well as Latin classics. Guests leave the boat on a launch daily with a naturalist guide. Animal viewings might include the pink Amazon dolphin, three-toed sloth, black alligator, and giant river otter. All itineraries include a visit to the Manatee and Dolphin Rescue Center, and in November guests can participate in releasing newborn turtles into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve.
