The highlight of the trip was climbing Wayhuna Picchu. Did it in 30 minutes up and 30 down. It was such an adrenalin rush and absolutely amazing. Loved Lima. There's a real buzz to the place and where we stayed was magnificent.

Explore the mighty Amazon aboard the MV Tucano, an elegant 80 ft. riverboat that evokes the time-honoured river cruises of yesteryear.
Spread across three decks, the Tucano’s classic look harks back to a golden age with rich wood panelling and polished beams softened by the large picture windows which spill light and warmth throughout. There are generous communal areas from the saloon and wrap-around balcony to the Observation Deck which runs the length of the entire upper deck.
The 9 cabins offer a mix of beds and bunks and are simple and cosy with air-conditioning and private facilities. All are elegantly furnished in keeping with the boat’s classic look and offer wonderful views of the surrounding forest.
The food is tasty and wholesome and focuses on the ingredients and flavours unique to the Amazon.
The MV Tucano offers fully inclusive cruises from the port of Manaus up into the remote waterways of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, a natural wonderland home to a dizzying array of species. Guests head out each day accompanied by expert local guides to explore the surrounding flora and fauna and local communities either by foot or small motor skiff depending on the water levels.
The cruises on offer are as follows:-
The Amazon Odyssey - 4 Nights
This shorter cruise heads into the jungle choked channels of the Anavilhanas Archipelago and visits native communities and the Lago Janauari Ecological Park at the confluence of the Amazon and Negro Rivers. Enjoy daily excursions into the rainforest to view the resident wildlife including howler monkeys, three-toed sloths, giant river otters, caimans and pink river dolphins.
Voyage to the Heart of the Amazon- 7 Nights
The cruise explores untouched tracts of Amazon rainforest deep along the Negro River. Voyage through the Anavilhanas Archipelago, explore the Jauaperi River, experience the Novo Airao indigenous community and cross the “Encontra das Aguas” confluence of the Amazon and the Negro Rivers.
