The Amazon Rainforest is thought to be the oldest tropical forest area in the world, perhaps as much as 100 million years old.

John and I like to relax on deck 5 of the Pacific Princess. We didn't have a balcony on this cruise, deck 5 was perfect for us to have our own grand scale balcony, we spent a lot of time on this deck outside on the lounge chairs reading and gazing at the Amazon River.
