At the end of the day, pamper yourself with a soothing spa session. Lounge by the shaded daybeds on the sun decks, sipping a pisco sour. Check out the games room and try classic cocktails at the lounge and bar. Take a dip in the shaded outdoor jacuzzi and plunge pool, soaking in the wild vistas of the Amazon River.
