Win a family trip to the Amazon Rainforest

Enter our fantastic competition for a holiday of a lifetime

Enter our fantastic competition - to win an amazing trip for a family to the Amazon.

The holiday is for a family of four for eight days and will begin in Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas, in Brazil, where our winners will spend a night at the Hotel Tropical Manaus before heading to the colourful port district to board the MV Tucano- home for the rest of the trip. The MV Tucano is a 30m, triple decked river cruiser accommodating up to 18 passengers- its compact size means it’s able to explore some of the least inhabited rivers of the Amazon Basin. One of the highlights of the trip has to be a journey to the ‘Encontra das Aguas’- the spot where the world’s two largest rivers, the Amazon and the Negro, meet. The itinerary features plenty of time ashore, with expeditions to explore the rainforest, search out the local wildlife and visit areas of particular interest such as the Lago Janauari Ecological Park.

Don't worry if you aren't able to visit us this year you can still enter our competition.
