The Clavero Riverboat
The Clavero is the oldest historic riverboat on the entire Amazon. She was originally built in Paris, France in 1876 and brought over to the Amazon for use as a Peruvian naval boat. The Clavero was used for government expeditions exploring the Peruvian Amazon and as a mail boat. She was completely restored between 2007-2009 with many of her original features incorporated.
The Clavero measures 24 meters long and 5 meters wide and is of steel construction with two main decks and a sun deck. The boat has six comfortable air conditioned cabins... three double cabins with twin-size beds and three cabins with either one twin-size bed (for SINGLE) or bunk beds (for DOUBLES). All cabins have private baths and a wardrobe. The air-conditioned dining room is used for meals, lectures and dances. A data projector is provided for lectures and movies. There is a bar in the dining area where visitors can purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. The sun deck is a great place to relax and observe the river and rainforest.
The Clavero has a marine diesel main engine and generators providing 220-volt electricity in the cabins and dining room (there is a 110-volt converter in the dining room) and there is radio and satellite telephone communications, e-mail and major headlines of world news are downloaded daily so you can keep in touch with worldly issues if you wish.
The Clavero Amazon Cruises have a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 12 travelers on board.
