"The Upper Amazon is an incredible combination of wildlife, biodiversity and culture” says Expedition Leader Carlos Romero, who has been working with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions for over three decades. “Every time I come here, I discover something new.” On hikes or skiff rides through the lush rainforest, you’ll encounter amazing creatures such as pink river dolphins, monk saki monkeys, scarlet macaws and more with help from your eagle-eyed naturalists.
But it’s not just about experiencing the wildlife. When you explore aboard our all-suite ships, Delfin II or Delfin III, you’ll also be invited into the Amazon’s riverside communities to meet local ribereños, learning about their unique ways of life in their homes, their villages and with a visit to a non-profit organization. In this episode of In Good Company, Romero shares why he thinks every traveler should experience this wildlife-rich and culturally important region at least once in their lifetime.
