from your hotel in Manaus around 8:00 AM. A short drive west takes us to the stunning Lake Acajatuba, where we hop on a canoe and cruise to our rustic riverside lodge. After dropping off your bags, enjoy a scenic boat ride to get familiar with the surrounding

In the afternoon, we canoe quietly through creeks and lakes, searching for wildlife like birds, monkeys, and even sloths (no guarantees — animals roam free here!). Next, test your skills piranha fishing — catch one and it might be on your dinner plate tonight! As night falls, we return to the water in search of caymans and nocturnal animals. The jungle comes alive with sound. Look up — the Amazon night sky is breathtaking.

After breakfast, it’s time for an authentic jungle survival hike. Learn to set traps, identify medicinal plants, and discover ancient techniques used by native people.

‍ In the afternoon, visit a local riverside family. Discover their way of life, explore their plantations, and learn how they make manioc flour — a staple food of Amazonian culture. Next, we visit a dolphin research platform dedicated to studying and protecting the rare pink river dolphins. 
Here, you'll learn about their behavior and biology — and get the incredible chance to swim alongside them in their natural environment. (Bring swimsuit and towel!)

After dinner we go for a night walk to see the nocturnal wildlife of our jungle. We have a big chance to see spiders, owls and other night creatures.

We rise before dawn to witness the Amazon sunrise — a magical moment as the jungle awakens. After breakfast, we leave the lodge and head to a new stretch of the Negro River.

Comunidade Indigena Dessana

Visit an indigenous community originally from the Colombia border. You'll experience ancient rituals, traditional dances, and taste local food — a deep and respectful cultural exchange.

Praia do Tupe

️ If the water levels allow, we’ll relax at a white-sand beach and enjoy a swim in the warm, dark waters of the Rio Negro.

Parque Ecologico Janauary

Then we visit a giant water lily lake, a surreal and peaceful place for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Comunidade do Catalao Amazonas

️ Next stop: a fascinating floating village where over 100 families live on wooden houses that rise and fall with the river. Schools, shops, churches — all floating!

Comunidade do Catalao Amazonas

At a floating fish farm, you'll meet the legendary Pirarucu, the Amazon's biggest freshwater fish with scales. Try feeding one — they can grow up to 2 meters long!

Meeting of Waters

Finally, experience the jaw-dropping Meeting of the Waters, where the dark Rio Negro and sandy Amazon River flow side by side without mixing — a phenomenon only found here. Estimated return to your hotel in Manaus: around 5:00 PM.
