* This itinerary runs from a Sunday to Wednesday
Overview:
Travel on board the M/V Anakonda, the luxury cruise ship in the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, and experience the Amazon River in a most unique way. Visit the remote and pristine areas where few have had the opportunity to travel, with only 40 fellow passengers, and interact with the region’s local communities while enjoying the comforts, facilities and services of a 5-star boutique hotel in the middle of the Ecuadorian Amazon.
The Anakonda operates in the upper basins of the Napo and Aguarico Rivers, around Limoncocha Wildlife Reserve and Yasuni National Park, Ecuador’s largest protected animal reserve. Here, the devoted, highly-knowledgeable guides come into their own, as they willingly share their wealth of information about the Amazon's tropical rainforest. The exciting itineraries are carried out with a heartfelt commitment to the communities and nature of the Amazon, and the variety of excursions is ample and compelling.
The Anakonda has floor to ceiling windows with a view of the passing river and rainforest which make suites the most comfortable way to experience the splendor of the Amazon.

QUITO – COCA – NAPO RIVER
Our adventure begins in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. After a 30-minute flight from Quito to the Amazonian city of Coca, we will transfer to the dock and board our motorized canoe for a 90-minute journey down the river, taking in the Amazon, until we reach the Anakonda Amazon Cruise and receive our welcome aboard.
On the Anakonda, we will be joined by expert local naturalist guides, who will provide us with a brief, informative introduction to the Ecuadorian Amazon; afterwards, guests will have the opportunity to explore our cruise ship and admire the rainforest landscape as we glide down the Napo River.
After dinner, we will take a nighttime forest walk to observe the rainforest's nocturnal activity and vividly experience its biodiversity first-hand.
Please note that all cruise itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s discretion. Passengers should also be aware that animal sightings cannot be guaranteed due to the unpredictability of wildlife behavior.
