PERSONALISED SERVICE
The newest vessel to operate in these waters, Aqua Nera’s impeccable design was inspired by the region’s mystical black water lagoons. Dark woods and earthy tones feature throughout the bar, dining room and social areas, tastefully interwoven with accents from the vibrant cultures of Portugal, Spain and Peru. In the cabins, you’ll find gorgeous bathrooms and full-length windows for admiring the lush jungle scenery. The guest to staff ratio is an almost unheard of 1:1, ensuring a fantastic personalised service throughout your journey.
Each day, expert naturalist guides will conduct exciting expeditions into the world’s most biodiverse rainforest – think kayaking, fishing and up-close encounters with the resident wildlife. Ergonomic, low-emission speed boats will take you deeper into the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, while a fleet of all-terrain bikes are ready for exploring the riverside villages. By night, you will be treated to sumptuous Peruvian cuisine expertly prepared using native ingredients.
