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. All cabins have private baths and a wardrobe. Meals are served in the air-conditioned dining room. 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 also a 110-volt converter in the dining room.
The Clavero Amazon Cruises have a typical number of 6 -8 travelers on board.
