MV La Turmalina

The M/V La Turmalina is a classic, early nineteenth-century styled wooden riverboat that will serve as your home in the Amazon. The hand crafted La Turmalina offers modern room accommodations, each cabin includes air conditioning, private bathrooms, and in-room warm water. The amenities include international cuisine, an observation point on the boat's upper deck equipped with a full service bar, and personal attention from highly skilled naturalists. Though the physical conditions of the vessels are lesser when compared to those of a European river cruise, you will find that cleanliness and onboard service are up-to-date. The M/V La Turmalina operates on a fixed departure to the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve (an area unrivaled for wildlife). The ship may also be available for special interest groups on a charter basis. Amazon river cruises and tourism industries are adventure based. Shore activities require the ability to board and disembark from smaller vessels and the ability to hike through uneven jungle terrain for extended periods of time.
