South America - Brazil and the Amazon Cruise

There are many choice cruise routes for your Brazilian trip of a lifetime. Buenos Aires Northwards to Rio de Janeiro is a great journey and you will call at unforgettable places such as Montevideo. Or you could stand on Sugar Loaf Mountain before you leave on your ship from Rio and visit baroque Salvador, colonial Fortaleza or Recife (historic Olinda) in Brazil before entering the Amazon River. Perhaps you will miss out the River and go straight for Devil’s Island before entering the Caribbean. If you are determined to concentrate on your Amazonian adventure then there are great cruises specifically tailored for that destination, which start and return to the Caribbean or even the UK. Live the dream as your ship sails gently along the silent 1000 miles upstream to Manaus, capital of the Amazon calling at the old Colonial Portugese Port of Belem at the mouth of the 150 mile wide Delta. It is the trading port for Santarem and for Alter do Chao. You can swim from an Amazon Beach. It is a river with a great versatile personality. The cruise will make sure you can go offshore into the South American rain forest that contains more species of flora and fauna than any other ecosystem. Imagine that, and then do it! Book that Brazilian Amazon Cruise!
