The Amazon is the largest forest on the planet and hme to a giant river system. It covers over half of Brazil and a large portion of South America. The forest extends into Brazil’s neighbouring countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, and in Brazil, only the stretch between Manaus and Belém is actually known as the Rio Amazonas. It is by far the biggest river system in the world; eight of the world’s twenty longest rivers can be found in the Amazon basin, along with a fifth of the planet’s fresh water.

Manaus
Travel to the Amazon River, the longest river in the world. It is estimated that one-fifth of the water on planet earth, flows in the Amazon River. Two-thirds of the Amazon can be found in Brazilian territory and Manaus is where the Amazon crosses from the Peruvian to the Brazilian Amazon and is the capital city of the Brazilian Amazonas. The Amazon is formed a few miles downstream where the river Solimoes combines with The Rio Negro and the Amazon River is born. Swim with pink river dolphins and head out into the jungle to go monkey spotting and enjoy this industrial yet tropical paradise.
swim with pink river dolphins
Spotting wildlife is near impossible on the Amazon river itself, so any day tour worth its salt will include a trip down some of her smaller rivers and tributaries to get up close and personal with the local fauna. Activities include swimming with river dolphins, fishing for piranha, or just admiring the numerous species of monkey as they swing back and forth between the trees. The pink dolphins are widespread here, however it is important to ensure that they are swimming freely and avoid any forced contact with these amazing animals for future sustainability and their survival.
Cultural Interraction and Sustainable activities
The Amazon is far more than just a river system. The rainforest it sustains is a vitally important cog in the planet’s biosphere and covers an area of over six million square kilometres. The enormous biodiversity of the Amazon becomes more and more important with increased global warming and the devastation of trees in other parts of the world. The rainforest is an enormous set ofl ungs for us all and if it is destroyed the implications for global warming as well as biodiversity, hardly bear thinking about.
We have spent 10 days in Peru on a school trip and Valencia Travel was the local partner. We were very pleased with the itinerary and the support from our guides and drivers. We spent several days in Cusco, then went to a local Cacao Farm and after of course Aguas Calientes. Everyone in the group had a great time and our guide Ronaldo tried his best to ensure all needs were met.

Best travel guide and company for our family trip to Machu Picchu
Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) did the short Inka trail to Machu Picchu and our guide Carlos Caceres was the best! He made our trip to Machu Picchu very special and memorable. He was very experienced, kind, patient and always made sure we were taken care of. The trip went so smoothly because of Carlos. From making sure we got on trains to buses to trail crossings to restaurants in town, he was always on top of it. Highly recommend Valencia Travel Cusco and Carlos as your guide. We were grateful for everything.

Everyday was a wonderful adventure
We have just finished 14 days in Peru with Valencia Travel. We had Ronaldo as our guide. Everyday was a wonderful adventure, made all the better by Ronaldo’s extensive knowledge of Peru and the Inca’s and his wonderful care of our group. Ronaldo is a gifted tour guide who brought Peru to life - the culture, the history and the vibrancy of the people. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic
We went on a short Inka Trail hike with Valencia Travel Cusco for 2 days. Private tour - just my husband and me and our fantastic guide Nicholson. It was an amazing experience- from the first meet up to talk about the details until our trip back to Cusco. Perfectly organized. We had a wonderful time. Nicholson made sure that we enjoy every minute of this trip. He provided support , motivation and encouragement. He made sure we always felt comfortable and could enjoy the trail in our pace. We learned a lot and made great memories. Those days were the highlight of our time in Peru and Nicholson made it very special.

Our guide Louis was the best guide ever! The sourroundings where really amazing and all the team made the Inka trail a super adventure. I got problem with the altitude and Louis made the differens to make the 4-day excursion an extraordinary experience. The last day he also guided at the stunning Machu Picchu - that was a lifetime dream coming true - and Louis made it even better.

Fantastic experience with great guide
Our family hiked the Inca Trail in July 2026. We had been looking forward to this trek for a long time and had very high expectations. However, everything we experienced — from the breathtaking nature to the exceptional service provided by the tour operator — far exceeded even our wildest dreams. It was absolutely amazing! We were fortunate to have an outstanding guide, Louis, a talented chef, Julio, and a team of 10 porters supporting our family of four. The level of service we received throughout the entire journey was truly world-class. I highly recommend Valencia Travel in Cusco, and especially Guide Louis, to anyone who wants to experience this incredible adventure. Andreas, Sweden

Great adventure
Ruben was extra ordinary and highlight of the tour he went above and beyond There are no words to describe his generosity. Very happy to do the tour. He was the highlight. And the coach to Puno 10 hr journey was super comfortable. Flight schedule was poor. And hotel were on a good location but basic.

Machu Picchu
My partner and I have had Machu Picchu on our bucket list for many years, and we were finally able to experience not only Machu Picchu but so many other incredible sights across Peru through TripADeal. Although one of our day trips was cancelled due to some poor management on TripADeal’s behalf, I want to give a massive shout-out to our guide, Ruben. He made our adventure around Peru a truly amazing experience. We were part of a large group, and while there were a few hiccups along the way, Ruben handled everything with remarkable calm, professionalism, and ease. I would definitely recommend Ruben as a guide for any expedition my friends or family may decide to embark on. We give Ruben 4.5 stars for making our Peru experience so memorable.
