The almighty Amazon River flows from the heights of the snow-capped Andean Mountains and rushes through Peru, Brazil and Colombia before pouring into the Atlantic Ocean, 6400 kilometres away. The Peruvian section of the Amazon is easier to get to, with a huge diversity of wildlife and all sorts of boats to explore, from local ferries and cargo boats all the way up to the ultra-luxurious small ship, Aqua Nera.
