The girls have experienced an amazing land and its people. We felt so safe. We all want to come back.

Children welcoming visitors
If you would love to learn how other cultures celebrate family holidays without the corruption of our materialistic values, then this is the trip for you. This is a fun and exciting opportunity, rich in education and laden with values, to immerse your family into another culture's traditions.
Native children performing traditional dances
Imagine being in a small village in the Amazon Rainforest celebrating Christmas with a modest native community, sharing a feast and dancing to the jungle rhythms produced by drums, flutes and maracas. The native children will serenade us with traditional songs. At the conclusion they distribute artisanias as gifts to the guest.
Handing out presents
Then it's our turn to distribute gifts, brought by our guests and by Amazonia Expeditions. As the children patiently receive their presents, from smallest to tallest, we involve our guests' children in distributing gifts of clothes, dolls, teddy bears and balls. It is heart-warming to see the delighted children shower our children with affection. It must be heart-warming for the children as well; at the end of last year's Christmas trip, every one of some 18 children aged, 5-15 years of age, enthused that this was their best Christmas ever--and that they wished to return the next year.
For the rest of your visit you will have the opportunity to enjoy our many different adventurous excursions, swimming with pink dolphins, exploring the canopy from our zipline, hiking and canoeing into a variety of ecosystems.
