Meet the Enchanting Pink Dolphins of the Amazon
Discover one of the Amazon’s most iconic and magical creatures — the pink river dolphin. Unique to this part of the world, these rare freshwater dolphins aren’t just a wonder of nature — they’re a symbol of the mystery and beauty of the rainforest.
Their soft pink hue, believed to be linked to visible blood vessels beneath their delicate skin, becomes even brighter when they’re excited — much like a blush. And yes, if you're lucky, you might just see them leap and play near your boat, their long snouts curving upward in what looks like a permanent smile.
These majestic creatures can grow up to 8 feet long, and while they may not be the fastest swimmers, their flexible bodies allow them to glide gracefully through flooded forests during the high-water season.
Seeing a pink dolphin in its natural habitat is a moment you’ll never forget. Join us at Heliconia Lodge and experience this rare and beautiful encounter — only in the heart of the Amazon.
