Jungle Experiences Amazon River Cruises celebrates the affiliation of the Zafiro cruise ship, as a luxury travel provider, to the Serandipians portfolio of travel designers. The certification awarded to The Zafiro Experience by this consortium confirms its prestige and recognition as a provider of luxury experiences.

Serandipians by Traveller Made is a network of designers that creates tailor-made luxury travel experiences for travellers and is represented in more than 70 countries. "This integration certifies Zafiro as a luxury river cruiser and strengthens our positioning in the premium tourism segment in key markets such as Mexico," says Claudia Rodriguez, founder & director of Jungle Experiences.

Jungle Experiences offers The Zafiro Experience, a state-of-the-art riverboat experience that guides passengers on a magical voyage of discovery along the Amazon River, the world's largest river, in a region famous for its rainforest, wildlife and indigenous peoples.

Based in the port of Nauta, near Iquitos in northeastern Peru, guests can choose from three, four and seven-night itineraries through the Amazon and into the maze of waterways that make up the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, one of the world's most biodiverse natural parks.

MV Zafiro offers the ultimate in five-star floating luxury, equipped with 19 elegant suites, including two Master Suites and the Sapphire Suite with its own private Jacuzzi, all boasting panoramic views and many offering private balconies. Guests have access to outdoor and indoor dining, bar and lounge facilities, a large observation deck, an outdoor Jacuzzi, massage room and exercise facilities, as well as an onboard boutique.

The naturalist guides are expert biologists and take travellers by the hand to discover Peru's diverse flora and fauna through boat excursions, jungle and suspension bridge hikes, bird and pink dolphin watching, piranha fishing and visits to local communities.

During the journey on board, passengers enjoy exquisite Peruvian gastronomy, where the five-course dining experience stands out, focusing on different gastronomic trends each night, such as Amazonian, Italian, Chinese, international and fusion, all prepared with fresh local products.

For Jungle Experiences it is very important to respect the environment, so during the Zafiro cruise programmes, sustainable tourism activities are carried out such as planting trees, where each passenger can do so and contribute to reforestation.

Likewise, visits are made to the NGOs with which the company collaborates, such as the Manatee Rescue Centre, which is responsible for the reinsertion of animals in their natural habitat, and the Amazon Biopark.
