Piranhas are one of the most notorious animals in the Amazon basin. They’ve inhabited the region for millions of years, and evolved into over twenty different species. Red-bellied piranhas are, perhaps, the best known of the lot. After all, they’ve starred in plenty of horror blockbusters over the years.
In reality, piranhas aren’t quite as dangerous as Hollywood makes them out to be. They rarely attack without being prompted first. Although they can smell a drop of blood in 200 liters of water, doing so doesn’t really send them into a killing frenzy.
Aboard the Aqua Nera, guests will have no shortage of exciting moments while cruising along the Amazon. There’ll be an opportunity to go piranha fishing, and if time permits, we might even get to see local fishermen making their daily catch. Don’t worry, we always put safety first for you!
