WHY JUNGLE EXPERIENCES?

Connect with the Amazonian nature of Peru. Our more than 25 years of experience in the Amazon carries a unique connection with all life forms and cultures that shape a region that breathes life.

Travel to where our planet comes to life. Navigate the Amazon aboard our cruises, discover the largest river in the world and its surroundings, and explore the most virgin and unexplored areas of the planet.

Surf the Amazon waters in the safest way. Safety on board is one of our strong points. On board the Jungle Experiences cruises everything is designed for the well-being and safety of travelers.

Feel the bond between nature and humanity. Our guides know every inch of the Amazon jungle. Their more than 20 years of experience in the area make them the best people to walk hand in hand with as you discover the jungle and its native cultures.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

A shared commitment

Tourism has tremendous transformative power over regions and cultures. Making this transformation positive and respectful for land and people who inhabit them is our responsibility and for this reason we are deeply committed to protecting the ecosystem and its people.

We help to protect the Amazon rainforest and, over the years, we have contributed to strengthening sustainable tourism in the region. This has translated to working closely with local communities, providing them with resources to improve their quality of life and teaching them how to conserve their surroundings.

We follow responsible ecotourism practices, including:

Raising consciousness and awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. Our naturalist guides give environmental conservation talks to the children of the indigenous communities in order to raise awareness about the importance of conserving the environment and the natural resources that it makes available to us.

We carry out different projects such as:

– Encouraging communities to be a factor of change.

– 3R campaigns (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Our paramedics and naturalists are in charge of visiting and carrying out these campaigns in local communities every two months.

Recycling. In a bid to eradicate the use of plastics, we give all our passengers a reusable metal water bottle.

We carefully sort waste for recycling on our cruise ships (plastics, organic waste, cardboard, paper, batteries).

Economic dynamization of the area in collaboration with local communities. Depending on local people as suppliers of artisan goods forms part of our social responsibility. By doing so, we promote the local economy and, therefore, local culture. We display their products aboard our boats.

We make a committed effort to employ local guides and  80% of our employees are from the community of Iquitos.

 

 Waste Treatment & Eco-Friendly Products. We have a wastewater treatment system on our cruise ships. All waste is treated with a smart sanitation system and storage tanks (domestic wastewater treatment plant – PETARD) that meet IMO and US Coast Guard standards. The result is 100% clean and sterile water that can be safely discharged into rivers. All the remaining waste is collected during the trip and recycled or responsibly disposed of upon disembarkation.

We only use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products (ECOLAB) on all our cruises.

Wildlife Conservation. Support for the Manatee Rescue Center (CREA) in Iquitos, which rehabilitates orphaned Amazonian manatees.

Our skiffs use silencers to minimize the noise pollution that affects wildlife in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.

It is strictly forbidden to touch wildlife during excursions.

 Water and Energy Conservation. We encourage all passengers to refresh their towels only when necessary. Also, We ask passengers not to waste energy.
