Pure Amazon, an A&K Sanctuary review: a sleek riverboat cruise through the Amazon

Peru’s Amazon is an immense wilderness seemingly worlds away from coastal Lima or the Andes. And while its Brazilian neighbour may be better known, Peru’s stretch of rainforest is just as extraordinary. In the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve - one of South America’s largest protected areas, spanning some 8,000 square miles - pink river dolphins arc through water as dark as treacle, herons flash overhead in streaks of white, and the air thrums with a constant chorus of insects and birds (more than 600 species are native to the reserve alone). It’s here that Pure Amazon, an A&K Sanctuary, journeys along the river. Launched in 2025, this sleek, design-led vessel reimagines cruising as something wilder: a floating safari through the Amazon’s mirror-like waterways.
