Original Dugout Canoes From The Peruvian Amazon
Item 1505

These are working dugout canoes used daily for transportation along the Amazon River and its tributaries.

As I travel through the Peruvian Amazon, I'm always on the lookout for quality dugout canoes fashioned from a solid piece of marupa wood, Simarouba amara. They should have a dark natural stain and show good craftsmanship with the wood carved thin with a good line. Some repairs are expected, but shouldn't detract from the overall look.

Typically zoos, museums, or serious private collectors purchase these canoes where they make excellent additions to their rainforest displays.

At the right is a good example of a 10-ft canoe that would make a fine addition to a collection or as an interior design piece in an establishment.

Adults prefer a 3.5-meter or longer canoes.

My associate in Peru can secure these canoes and ship them to the states. Do to the size, they must be transported by boat down the Amazon River, up to a southern port, then by motor freight to a dock near the final destination.

Price for a typical 3.5-4.0 meter canoe is $1975.00
This includes handling and shipping costs from Peru, South America to a freight terminal near your location in the Continental US.

In order to initiate the paperwork, a 20% down payment is required for any canoe ordered.
