The Spirit of the Anakonda Amazon cruises The depths of the Amazon, some 30 years ago, were feared by most mortals. We know now, however, that they have been - and still are - simply deeply misunderstood. The fantasies of impenetrable tangles filled with monstrous insects, flesh-eating fish, snakes large enough to devour man and long-lost barbaric tribes ready to spear intruders that revolve around these sanctuaries of natural life and biodiversity; They are only as real as an unventventurous mind. It was precisely some 30 years ago that we first decided to head out to these jungles and discover how truly wonderful the Amazon was and how fascinating it was to show this to others in all its splendor. Today, in this environmental age, Amazon travel has never been so pertinent and we proudly present the new Anakonda Amazon River Cruises as the most tweaked, ergonomic and thought-out way to discover the mystery, spirit, life, and multicolored infinity of the most Biodiverse corner on Earth.
