In Anakonda Amazon Cruise they make you the proposal to let yourself be imbued in the beauty of the wild lands of the Amazon. With all the comforts of a luxurious cruise, you can see animals in their natural environment, go canoeing, visit indigenous communities and taste the delicacies of the area.
Time seems to be diluting or going backwards aboard the Anakonda an imposing ship 45 meters long and three stories high. In 2016 this ship won the World Travel Awards for the best boutique cruise in South America.
If the forms of the Anakonda recall those of the mythical Trojan Horse, its interior inspires the whole world of the Thousand and One Nights, pure reverie. You have 14 standard suites and four Deluxe suites, with air conditioning in each, balconies and bathtub, panoramic windows, all under a minimalist and modern aesthetic.
On the first floor you will find an external lounge to have a cocktail, and enjoy the views and the slow flow of the water. It is the place where during the last night an impressive seafood barbecue is tasted. On board you will also find a boutique, events room, bar and restaurant ... and I saved the icing on the cake for last, an outdoor Jacuzzi on the third floor.
Beyond the luxury of the facilities, the important thing is the treatment of the crew, human, close, 100% respectful.
The trip begins in the Ecuadorian city of Francisco de Orellana, one of the main ports of entry to the Ecuadorian Amazon. But the boat is not taken there, but a speedboat will take you for an hour and a half, to the Anakonda, where the real adventure and pleasure begins.
