Lodge Day 1: Our journey commences as we pick you up in Manaus. We head to Ceasa Port, where we board a speedboat, making our first stop along the Rio Negro river at the meeting of the waters. Here, the black Rio Negro and the brown Solimões never mix, creating an otherworldly sensation at this spot. Subsequently, we visit the floating village of Catalão. Here, you can explore a fish farm and encounter the Giant Arapaima Gigas, one of the Amazon's most formidable creatures. Afterwards, we make a stop at the Careiro village. From there, we enjoy a one-hour ride before heading to Maçarico Lake by speedboat.

Following breakfast, we set out on a morning trek. Your guide shares knowledge about medicinal plants along our walk and introduces you to the insects that call this place home. You might even spot some of the local wildlife, including monkeys, which are always a source of fun when you're unsure about the source of sounds (except, perhaps, humans). After completing the trek, it's back to the lodge for lunch.

Our afternoon activity begins at 3 pm. The group departs by motorized boat along the riverbanks to a fishing spot, where we fish for several different species of piranha.
