Into the Amazon Jungle 5D/4N at Amazon Tapiri Floating Lodge

Begin of the trip

Day 1 – Arrival & First Amazon Encounters

Your adventure begins at 8:00 AM with pickup from your hotel in Manaus. We drive to Ceasa Port, where you board a speedboat on the Rio Negro.

Our first stop is the floating village of Catalão, where we visit a fish farm to see the Giant Arapaima Gigas, the largest scaled freshwater fish in the world. You’ll be able to feed them and feel their impressive strength up close.

We then continue by speedboat to the famous Meeting of the Waters, where the dark Rio Negro and the sandy-colored Solimões River run side by side without mixing – a striking natural phenomenon.

Afterward, we navigate to Careiro village, then continue by road for about 1 hour to Maçarico Lake. The final stretch is by speedboat to Mamori Amazon Lodge, arriving around 11:30 AM. A delicious local lunch is served at 12:00 PM.

At 3:00 PM, we depart on a canoe trip, with chances to spot the Amazon Pink River Dolphin and many colorful bird species. We’ll also try our hand at piranha fishing. We stay on the water until about 6:30 PM to enjoy a beautiful Amazon sunset, then return to the lodge for dinner at 7:00 PM.

At 8:30 PM, we head back onto the river in search of caimans. Using a spotlight, your jungle guide will carefully catch a caiman so you can observe it safely up close, before releasing it back into its natural habitat.

Day 2 – Sunrise, Jungle Trek & Flooded Forest

The day starts early at 5:00 AM. At 5:30 AM, we leave the lodge by motorized boat to a quiet spot to watch the jungle awaken with the sunrise – a magical Amazon experience.

We return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then set off on a morning jungle trek. Your guide will share valuable knowledge about medicinal plants, forest ecology, and the many insects and animals that live here. With some luck, you may see native wildlife such as monkeys, whose calls often sound surprisingly human. After the trek, we return to the lodge for lunch.

At 3:00 PM, we head out by canoe to explore the Várzea forest, a seasonally flooded forest crisscrossed by small channels and waterways. This excursion offers a unique perspective on the Amazon’s flora and fauna.

From August to March, during the dry season, this activity is done on foot because there is no water in the area. It’s an excellent region for spotting monkeys, sloths, and various bird species. We then return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 3 – Local Community & Camping in the Jungle

Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM. At 8:00 AM, we visit a local riverine family who live along the river. You’ll learn about their simple, authentic way of life, see how they grow their own food, and taste some delicious local fruits.

On the way back to the lodge, you’ll have the chance to swim in the river, enjoying it just like the local Amazonian people do.

After lunch, at 3:00 PM, we leave the lodge to camp out in the Amazon Jungle. Your guide will help you set up camp and prepare dinner over a fire in a remote part of the forest. We provide hammocks and mosquito nets for a true jungle overnight experience. After dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to try spearfishing before returning to camp for the night.

At night, you’ll go on another night safari to search for nocturnal wildlife and can also do more spearfishing. You’ll spend a second night camping in the jungle, fully immersed in the sounds of the rainforest.
