Linblad's 38-day itinerary explores three seldom-seen rivers
By Marilyn Green
Passengers on Lindblad’s Epic South American Cruise will return with experiences not likely to be duplicated among their friends and family.
January 13 marked 125 years of exploration for the National Geographic Society, and their partner, Lindblad Expeditions, is celebrating with one of its most ambitious expeditions it has ever offered: a 38-day journey that will begin in Trinidad Sept. 18 and end in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Guests sailing onboard the 148-passenger National Geographic Explorer will have the rare opportunity to explore three legendary rivers — the Orinoco, the Amazon and the Essequibo -- in addition to colonial towns such as Ilheus and Parati and cities including Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. The itinerary is carefully planned with flexibility to take advantage of unexpected opportunities that may occur in this colorful part of the world.
