November & December: In Search of the Amazon's Giant

Adventure

Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

Few wildlife encounters capture the imagination quite like the possibility of spotting an anaconda in its natural habitat.
As November and December arrive, the Ecuadorian Amazon offers another opportunity to search for one of the rainforest’s most fascinating inhabitants. Hidden among vegetation, along riverbanks, in Jatuncocha and near quiet lagoons, anacondas are remarkably difficult to spot despite being among the world’s largest snakes.

Exploring these environments with experienced naturalist guides is part of the adventure. Every excursion brings the possibility of discovering something unexpected, from elusive reptiles to the remarkable diversity of life surrounding the Napo River.
With Anakonda Amazon Cruises, travellers can venture into the heart of the rainforest, where patience, observation, and a little luck can lead to extraordinary wildlife encounters.

Some of the Amazon’s greatest discoveries are the ones you never expect.
