Prinsendam’s Visit to the Villages of Boca de Valeria

The Amazon Experience! Prinsendam called at Boca da Valeria on January 15th, her third port of call in the Amazon. We tendered to this delightful little authentic village where the villagers came out to greet us and the children took us by the hand to show us around and take pictures with them. Of course, the expectation is a dollar to two, which no one minded giving. Many of the guests agreed that this was one of their favorite stops along the Amazon.

We boarded small boats with motors here for a tour that took us to the guide's house.
