The perfect package for those who want to fulfill their dream of visiting the majestic Amazon Rainforest, but have little time. This itinerary offers a complete experience, combining land and river activities, including a visit to the famous Meeting of the Waters and an immersion in local culture with a visit to an indigenous community.
Depart from Manaus on an exclusive boat operated by Amazon Explorers, heading to the Meeting of the Waters, a fascinating natural phenomenon where the dark waters of the Rio Negro run parallel to the muddy waters of the Solimões River for 6 km without mixing. After passing this famous confluence, continue to Janauari Lake.
Here, you will have the opportunity to explore different Amazonian biomes, including the Igapó forests, which are low-lying areas that are frequently flooded, consisting of shrubs and vines typical of these regions. In the Igapó forests, you can admire the famous Victoria Amazonica, an iconic aquatic plant of the Amazon, while walking along a pleasant wooden suspended trail.
Stop for lunch at a floating restaurant, where you can savor the unique flavors of the Amazon through various fruits, salads, exotic fish, and meats. After lunch, begin the journey upriver along the right bank of the Rio Negro, taking in the natural beauty of the Amazon, including riverside houses, flooded forests, and the narrow channels known as "igarapés."
As the boat glides along the waters of the Rio Negro, it's the perfect time to enjoy the stunning landscapes that unfold throughout the navigation. The afternoon arrival at an Indigenous community will be marked by a warm traditional welcome from the community leader and his family, demonstrating the appreciation for visitors. You'll have some free time for interaction with the community hosts and to learn about their crafts made from local forest materials.
The tour then continues to Acajatuba Lake, where you will stay at the Amazon Camp Lodge, built in the traditional "Tapiri" style, typical of Amazonian housing. Prepare for an adventure in the Amazon's upland biome. In the late afternoon, embark on a motorized canoe ride to admire the sunset and experience the Amazon's nocturnal side.
As night falls, the forest comes alive in a unique way—it's time to silence and listen to the jungle's voices. You'll realize that you are just a visitor immersed in an intriguing atmosphere, surrounded by rivers, lakes, flooded forests, nocturnal birds, alligators, and an array of sensations that only the Amazon can provide. After this magical experience, return to the lodge for dinner and to enjoy the night in the forest.
Included Meals: Lunch and Dinner.
The sunrise in the jungle is an incredible experience, with the forest waking up in the early hours to a symphony of sounds from frogs, monkeys, birds, crickets, and the rustling leaves of the tall trees.
Wake up to a typical Amazonian breakfast, a delightful array of vibrant colors and rich flavors straight from the land, offering an authentic gastronomic experience. After breakfast, embark on a jungle hike to immerse yourself in the exploration of the Amazon's diverse flora and fauna.
Upon returning from the trail, visit the fluvial base at Acajatuba Lake to learn about a family project supported by ICMBIO, which combines income generation and conservation efforts through dolphin-watching activities. Here, you will have the opportunity to see the gray and pink river dolphins, the largest aquatic mammals of the Amazon, up close.
Return to the camp for a delicious Amazonian lunch and farewell to the forest. After lunch, travel back to Manaus by land, with an expected arrival at 4:00 PM.
