Amazon Indigenous Lifestyle and River Expedition
Meet at the port of Manaus and head downstream along the Rio Negro to see the confluence, where two rivers do not mix.
Visit the "floating village" of Catalão, made up of many typical Amazonian houses.
Purchase handmade souvenirs from local Caboclos.
See the Amazon's largest freshwater scale fish, the Arapima (Pirarucu), the most expensive fish in Manaus.
Continue upstream into Janauari Ecological Park, where you will see monkeys, giant water lilies, and the Samauma Tree, one of the largest tree species in the world.
Enjoy lunch in the park, with a large buffet prepared by local cooks featuring typical fruits, vegetables, regional freshwater fish, and local juices.
Swim with the pink dolphins and visit the native Dessana tribe.
The boat ride to the pink dolphins lasts approximately one hour, and from there it is only 15 minutes to reach the Dessana tribe, who will greet you with a warm welcome, local dance, and special instrumental songs.
Witness their traditional customs and way of life, as well as local animals such as the famous anaconda, caiman, and sloth, which they view and treat as local pets.
Stop for a final swim of the day on the way back to Manaus.
