OurOur collaborationcollaboration inin exploration,exploration, research,research, technologytechnology andand conservationconservation will provide extraordinary travel experi-- ences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe.

Celebrating of National Geographic Dear Traveler,

In an age when we can look at detailed maps of the planet’s most remote places on our phones, it may seem like there is little left to discover. There are no islands that have gone unnoticed by our satellites or seas left to name after explorers. But in a way, the Upper Amazon is different. It is a place shrouded in green, where river levels can rise and fall by several feet overnight, creating ever-new networks of waterways or revealing new forest trails—each one never before explored by kayaker or hiker. Ever-changing, it is a place that begs to be discovered, day after day.

Our ship is what allows us to reach these remote regions. Outfitted with fleets of skiffs and kayaks, we’re able to venture into these winding, wildlife-rich tributaries. And through our relationships in the region, we’ve arranged to venture outside of the protected reserve to explore a primary growth forest, which we reach after crossing a lake aboard local canoes. Here we explore on foot, and hikers who choose to venture further afield can even walk across a series of suspension bridges strung through the rain forest canopy.

And our ship is the perfect place to use as our base camp after a day of exploring; its open top deck offers a singular experience, for there’s nothing quite like relaxing in the cooling evening air listening to the sounds of the jungle.

Our staff, unmatched in the region, will be the key to your experience. You’ll go with a veteran Lindblad expedition leader as well as a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor. This naturalist is specially trained to help you capitalize on the rare wildlife sightings while shooting in dense rain forest, which under some conditions can present challenges. And our hand-picked local guides, most of whom grew up along the banks of this river, have more experience than anyone when it comes to finding the wildlife you seek. And, since they’re from the region, they’re the most gracious hosts we could have when we enter villages along the river.

Our ship, our staff, and our expedition experience ensure you’ll get the absolute most out of this dynamic rain forest. I hope you’ll join us in the Amazon. Best regards,

P.S. Join us to explore the world in 2013, the 125th Anniversary of National Geographic, and receive this limited edition commemorative book as our Sven-Olof Lindblad thank you.

The 28-guest river ship Delfin II was purpose- built to explore the upper reaches of the Amazon, venturing to places that would be inaccessible to larger ships, and doing so in supreme comfort.

A fleet of skiffs aboard allows access to flooded forests and hidden, winding jungle tributaries rich in wildlife. Kayaks offer peaceful, personal experiences in the wild jungle.

Traveling with the best staff in the region, including a veteran Lindblad expedition leader and a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor, plus local guides, ensures maximum wildlife sightings and peak experiences.

National Geographic began conducting Amazon expeditions when wide swaths of the map were simply labeled “unknown.” For 125 years, they’ve shared this part of the world with adventurous readers. And over 40 years ago, the Lindblad Explorer sailed up the Amazon River carrying the first ‘citizen explorers.’

Now Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have formed an alliance to further inspire the world through expedition travel including the wilds of the Amazon—a land where “unknown” still promises discovery.

WWW.EXPEDITIONS.COM 7 Explore this cathedral of green & meet the ribere˜nos, natives of the region

In this flooded rain forest, opulent in vegetation and wildness, water levels can change by several feet in mere hours, causing networks of jungle waterways to appear overnight as if by magic. Our nimble skiffs and kayaks allow us access to explore these brackish tributaries, often where no one else has gone.

You’ll see sloths, troops of vocal monkeys, and a myriad of bird species. One afternoon you’ll have a chance to swim in a peaceful lagoon frequented by pink river dolphins.

You’ll meet ribere˜nos, who make their lives on the banks of the Peruvian Amazon. Visit their villages—a rare privilege—where we’re often welcomed by their friendly children. Many elements of the decor and decorative accents aboard Delfin II are made by riberenos,˜ and you will have the chance to purchase similar handicrafts directly from the artisans, in what is invariably a mutually rewarding and responsible transaction.

Clockwise from top left: Ribere˜nos in school and colorful woven handicrafts in their villages; a monk saki monkey perched high in a tree; children of the reserve enjoying Expedition Leader Cindy Manning’s camera.

8 1.800.EXPEDITION (1.800.397.3348) The Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve “The water was dark, tannin-rich and still. For good reason this river is sometimes referred to as the River of Mirrors. The lush vegetation, white-barked trunks, green vines and tall trees reflected peace and a certain timelessness. Troops of howler monkeys, the snort of pink dolphins, brown capuchins, squirrel monkeys, horned screamers, egrets of all sizes; the Amazon flood forest was at its best this afternoon.”

“The dolphins are swimming through the trees. Bending sinuous bodies, they glide through branches and curl like snakes around fluted trunks.

This is not some kaleidoscope dreamscape form a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; this is the wet season in the upper Amazon.” —Mark Jenkins, “River Dolphins,” National Geographic magazine, June 2009
