Nilo's River Adventure is located in Porto Velho, Brazil, and operates on the Amazon River. It is owned and run by Nilo Nemolato, an Italian harbormaster who has a pet cockatoo named Rosita. The company has a fleet of modern and sleek tourist boats with red and white canopies, which contrast with the old and beat-up riverboat La Quila, owned by Frank Wolff, a rival skipper and adventurer.
Nilo's River Adventure is a reference to the original canopies of the Jungle Cruise ride's boats at Disneyland. The company also has connections to other Disney attractions, such as Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, where Rosita is a character who also appears in Disneyland's Jungle Cruise and Tropical Hideaway. Additionally, a crate addressed to Nilo Nemolato can be seen among the Christmas cargo in the Jingle Cruise overlay of the Jungle Cruise ride.
