Amazon Tours & Travel

Tour the majestic Amazon rainforest with South America Tours Pty Ltd, and unlock what is arguably the most important ecosystem on Earth. This is the largest remaining tropical forest on the planet, and it discharges a full 25 per cent of its fresh water. It also plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle, which is why the Amazon has been nicknamed the ‘lungs of the planet’.

The intense tangle of jungles found here is home to a more diverse selection of wildlife than anywhere else on Earth. In fact, the towering trees and rushing waters here are home to such incomparable diversity, that scientists are still working to classify it all. The discovery of new species in the Amazon is a matter of routine.

If you would like to travel to the Amazon, there are many different places to base yourself. Several different countries in South America have a claim to this forest. We offer a range of Amazon-based tours in Brazil, Ecuador and Peru – with a host of activities and experiences for you to engage in. You’ll have the chance to view amazing wildlife, interact with indigenous cultures, soar through the dense canopy and, of course, cruise the mighty Amazon River.

The Amazon conjures up images of explorers and adventurers old and new – venturing into a world of mystery, immensity and romance. Here are a few of the highlights that you can expect to enjoy during your tour of this legendary rainforest:

• Canopy Walks: The tree canopies of the Amazon have their own distinct ecosystems, and visitors have the opportunity to explore this biosphere from a series of suspended walkways. In some areas, you may even find yourself zip-lining or swinging from one platform to the next.
• Discovering Manaus: Deep in the Amazon – with dense jungles on every side for more than 1,500 km – is the Brazilian city of Manaus. View the colonial architecture and launch your Amazonian excursion from here.
• Yasuni Biosphere Reserve: Home to thousands of unique species of flora and fauna, this Ecuadorian eco-treasure is the most biodiverse region on the planet.
• Amazon Cruises: Nothing compares to cruising down the world’s largest river – viewing wildlife, interacting with indigenous cultures and admiring this majestic rainforest.
• Wildlife-Watching: The Amazon is home to some of the most amazing wildlife on Earth, and you’ll have opportunities to embark on wildlife-watching tours from virtually anywhere in the Amazon region.
