Unique biodiversity and a luxury cruise
with Delfin Amazon Cruises
The Pacaya Samiria Protected Area is in Loreto,
in the Peruvian jungle and is the dream of all
naturalists and lovers of biodiversity. Can you
imagine sailing on its rivers in a luxury cruiser
outfitted in exquisite luxury?
Now you can spend several days experiencing the
Amazon jungle itself, where trees and sky are reflected
in the deep dark water, in magnificent cruise
liners. They bring travellers close to the immensity
and passion of nature, but without relinquishing
comfort or safety.
The luxurious ships Delfin I and Delfin II include sophisticated
and exclusive suites with jacuzzi and panoramic
views of the river. The cruise also includes
massage services, gourmet lunch and dinner and a
bar open all day, as well as activities such as fishing
for piranhas, walks in the forest and visits to local
communities. The experience is unforgettable and
heart-warming. Just the escape you need.
Mistura, the fair
that changed everything
Join the feast: September 2017
Who hasn’t heard of Mistura? The huge food fair that
started with the idea of reviving Peru’s traditional
dishes and encouraging Peruvian cooks and products, is
now in its ninth year (2016) and has attracted more than
one hundred thousand people in this time.
Why the euphoria? Because it is a festival of flavours and
aromas, because more than two hundred farmers from
all over the country sell their produce directly to the public,
and because it has good food and drink and an opportunity
to learn about the whole country in one place.
There are also talks and conferences on regional cooking,
areas dedicated to pisco and artisanal beer, street
food, dancing and concerts.
It is also important to note that Mistura is a platform for
promoting competitions such as the Teresa Izquierdo Prize
for local soup kitchens, as well as other subjects related
to gastronomy. For example, last year concentrated
on biodiversity and nutrition with acts to raise awareness
of the importance of caring for the environment and natural
resources.
