Yoga on an Amazon cruise? The best spiritual journey of your life

If you are looking for a trip that can offer you a unique life experience, do not waste any more time because in this post we will tell you about something that we have discovered and that caught our attention, so much so that we decided to call, ask and visit to leave you our experience.

What is Yoga for?

Although yoga today is more popular than ever, this spiritual practice serves to connect the body with the breath and the mind. For its practice, physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation are used to improve general health.

But... can you imagine doing yoga in the middle of the Amazon jungle of Peru and on a cruise ship? Well, this is already reality.

Recently the company JEX has revealed through its social networks that it is opening a new service within its wide range of services and for this opportunity they are taking into account all the people who, in addition to wanting to know more about the Jungle, animals and flora and fauna, they also want to practice yoga and connect with the spirit of the Amazon Rainforest.

About the famous "Yoga Cruise" and our experience

For this we contacted JEX through its website because we saw its ad online about some yoga cruise in the jungle. They told us that the coach in charge of this new service is an expert on the subject. This is Ornella Puccio, a very famous instagramer who is an expert in Yoga. We found it quite interesting and, taking advantage of the fact that we planned a trip to Cusco, we found the opportunity to take a direct flight from Cusco to Iquitos and we arrived in less than an hour and a half.

Arrival in Iquitos and the welcome that the company gives you

The Iquitos airport is quite small for what we are used to, but keep in mind that Iquitos is a department of Peru that coexists with nature, so invading or destroying land to add cement is not something that favors the beautiful nature of the city.

Peruvian jungle.

As soon as we left the landing we were received by the JEX representatives who had our names written down, after this we were mobilized in a ban to the port of the Amazon River and we were able to verify with our own eyes the majesty of the famous Zafiro, the Amazon river cruise more unbelievable thing we have seen in our lives.

Yoga-cruise

Already on top of the cruise, we were received with a courtesy cocktail, a typical drink from the Jungle that tasted very good and with some unique and delicious appetizers. The best of all without a doubt was the attention! The reception they give you is as if you were the only customer upstairs, but it's the same with everyone, that's really incredible, it's quite personalized attention.

But to what we came, that night we rested early because we came from a long trip and to know the fabulous Machu Picchu (which we will tell you about our adventure and how wonderful it was). The class started at 10am inside the events room, in front of a beautiful view where the fresh air came in. Ornella Puccio made us feel nature in a unique, special way, she really knows what she is doing and she made us enjoy every minute that she spent on an ancestral journey. In addition to performing Yoga practices or exercises, the environment helps a lot so that you can transport your mind to another plane and feel that this trip will change your life, as it did with us.

Once the class was over, we shared good times among all the attendees and we realized that this trip was worth every moment that passed. I don't remember having a similar experience in any of the places I have traveled. It was really impressive to do Yoga on a cruise and especially crossing the Amazon River, the largest river in the world, feeling the really pure air and listening to nature at its best. A beauty I will never forget.
