2028 Spirit of the Amazon – March 31
About this adventure
An Intimate River Journey Through Rainforest, Wildlife & Wonder
You’re invited to join Source Journeys as we venture deep into the Peruvian Amazon — a shimmering world of hidden channels, flooded forests, blackwater lagoons, and extraordinary wildlife.
Exploring the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, one of the Amazon’s great protected wilderness regions, we’ll discover a landscape alive with birdsong, monkeys, caimans, river dolphins, and brilliant flashes of tropical color. Each day brings a new way to experience the rainforest — from sunrise wildlife safaris and guided jungle walks to peaceful paddles through quiet waterways, village visits, stargazing, and moments of awe as the Amazon reveals its endless beauty.
This is a journey into one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, where every bend in the river offers the possibility of a new discovery. Guided by expert naturalists, we’ll gain a deeper understanding of the rainforest’s remarkable ecosystems, its wildlife, and the communities that call this region home.
Together, we’ll experience the Amazon as only Source can: thoughtfully curated, deeply immersive, and shared with a small community of travelers who understand that the most powerful journeys are the ones that awaken something within us.
