MANATEE AMAZON EXPLORER

Experience the marvelous biodiversity of the Amazon Rain Forest. Beautiful and vibrant colors adorn the many species of birds, which include macaws, parrots, hawks and the great harpy eagles. The great rivers of this region are the lifeblood of these birds and are also home to caimans, fresh water river dolphins, piranhas, catfish and giant paiches. Butterflies of exquisite color, beauty and unusual size are common here, as well as the croaks of giant frogs. The howler monkeys also thrive here on a rich diet of insects only found in the Amazon.
