Desafio is a 33-meter, 3-masted motor sailing ship accomodating only 24 passengers in the highest standard available on the Amazon. All cabins have their own private facilities and are air-conditioned and there is the choice of a lower or upper deck cabin.

On board you will enjoy sumptuous meals in the restaurant and there is also a bar and sun deck for relaxing.

The cruises depart from Manaus, capital of the State of Amazonas, a city in the jungle that prospered during the rubber boom last century and where you will find a smaller copy of the Opera House in Paris, France. Both three and four days cruises include the "Meeting of the Waters", where the Rio Negro and the Amazon River converge. For many miles the different colored waters don't mix!

The cruises also include small boat excursions into the jungle with specialized guides who will explain the local flora and fauna. Piranha fishing and visits to native's communities along the river are also included.

The M/V Desafio has a fully-equipped kitchen, air-conditioning, an entertainment unit and two excursion boats to transport passengers into the exotic region.
