Unique Amazon flora.

Each Barge Camp and the Blackwater Explorer have a bi-lingual host/manager that oversees all activities, and each of those hosts is a qualified ecotourism guide

A non-fisherman might not find quite enough to occupy his or her days for an entire week on this trip, but for an angler who would enjoy a break from the peacock bass fishing, there are some interesting sights. This is, after all, nature's premier botanical garden, where you can find 200-foot tall hardwood trees and tiny orchids, flocks of fluorescent butterflies and 15-foot caiman alligators, slow-moving sloths and swift pink and gray porpoises, monkeys, manatees, ibis, macaws, parrots, parakeets, ducks and countless other marvelous creatures. Guided jungle hikes with an emphasis towards rare and unusual plants - particularly medicinal plants are quite enjoyable, as are guided visits to Indian villages.

Amazon wildlife abounds.
