American ex-pat AJ Wildey shares her love for Peruvian chocolate with the world. Learn about her story from her perspective in this episode of the LANDED Podcast.
I’ve been coming to the Amazon for more than 20 years, and it continually surprises. The wildlife, the weather, the seasons make each visit unique and special. On this trip, I was welcomed aboard the Aria, a small-scale cruiser based in Iquitos. The Aria is more than a luxury vessel; it is a floating base for wildlife observation, cultural engagement, and excursions on the river and into the forest. The mobility of these cruises broadens your reach, expanding the range of wildlife and habitats.
Calanoa is located in a private reserve just across the Peruvian border, in the Colombian portion of the Amazon rainforest. This location, between Amacayacu National Nature Park and the river Island of Mocagua, provides guests with access to a wide range of Amazonian biomes: river, streams and lakes; floodplains; and high-altitude forest. The area’s topography allows you to encounter extraordinary diversity in flora and fauna.
