Amazon Castaway ECOTOURISM
To walk through the rainforest or to lie quietly in
a cabin aboard the Castaway in the evening affords one the
opportunity to experience a cacophony of sounds such as no other place
on earth. The Amazon Region possesses a unique world class product
by virtue of the beauty of its nearly untouched rain forest, its magnificent
rivers, and the Castaway's Ecotours with exotic yet safe itineraries
that satisfy anyone standards! |
Finally,
after decades of exploitation for profit, mankind has
devised a way to explore the resources of the
rainforest in harmony with nature, reaping the highest reward: that
of a once in a lifetime experience! It is possible, aboard the Amazon
Castaway, to travel into areas and experience firsthand the thrills
of the sights and sounds of the home of the greatest variety of animal
species in the world. We arrange for you to experience all of this,
while not disturbing the delicate balance it took nature thousands
of years to develop. 
Along
the shores of the riverways, you will see the native Brazilian Indians
whose lives depend on the Amazon River. The river provides everything
these simple people need to sustain a lifestyle of family and community.
The white colonization threatened the very existance of these marvelous
people and their cultures, but in 1988, the Brazilian government passed
laws guaranteeing the Indians right to life in the Amazon. The country
is so vast and densely covered in vegetation that there are still
tribes who have never seen a white man.
