Encantado: Pink Dolphin of the Amazon
What you need to know before your trail
The Amazon rainforest which covers much of South America is known for its unusual flowers and plants and that’s just the ones we know exist. It’s the same for the animals – there are so many species and strange creatures living here that we don’t know what half of them are. But if you travel on a boat, you will see fish and all kinds swimming in the sea. Have you ever seen a pink dolphin though? They live in and along the Amazon , in the many rivers which flow from it. Want to meet them?

Travel Guide
The Amazon Rainforest
“Welcome to a forest filled with water. In the wet season, the swollen Amazon becomes a looking glass into another world, where pink dolphins swim like something from a dream. In Peru they are called bufeo colorado – the ruddy dolphin. Their colour ranges from white to gray to a vivid pink.”
“These astonishing mammals, actually rive-dwelling whales, easily navigate their way through the complex hazardous world of the Amazon rain forest.”
