MANAUS/JUNGLE LODGE

Day 1 – Arrival & First Amazon Experiences

Our day starts at 8:00 am when we pick you up from your hotel in Manaus. We head to Ceasa Port, where you’ll board a speedboat along 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 just how powerful they are.

Next, we continue by speedboat to the famous Meeting of the Waters, where the black Rio Negro and the brown Solimões River run side by side without mixing – a striking natural phenomenon.

We then navigate to Careiro village, and from there continue by road for about one hour to Maçarico Lake. The final stretch is by speedboat to the lodge, where you will arrive at approximately 11:30 am. A delicious local lunch will be served at 12:00 pm.

At 2:30 pm, we depart on a canoe trip. During this excursion, you’ll have the chance to see the world-famous Amazon Pink River Dolphin, as well as a variety of colorful birds. We’ll also try piranha fishing. We stay on the water until around 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.

The second day begins early at 5:00 am. We depart the lodge at 5:30 am by motorized boat to a peaceful spot where you can watch the jungle awaken at sunrise.

Afterwards, we return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then prepare for our morning jungle trek. During the walk, your jungle guide will share valuable knowledge about the Amazon ecosystem, including medicinal plants and the many insects that inhabit the forest. You may also see some of the local wildlife, such as cheeky monkeys, whose calls often sound surprisingly human. When the trek is finished, we return to the lodge for lunch.

At 3:00 pm, our afternoon activities begin. We take a canoe into the Várzea forest, a seasonally flooded forest with many small channels and waterways. This gives you a unique perspective on the Amazon’s flora and fauna.

From August to March, during the dry season, this tour is done on foot, as there is no water in the area. It is an excellent region for spotting monkeys, sloths, and various birds. After the excursion, we return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 3 – Local Family Visit & Return to Manaus

Our day starts at 7:00 am with breakfast. At 8:00 am, we visit a local family who lives along the river. You’ll learn about their simple and authentic way of life, see how they grow their own food, and have the chance to taste seasonal local fruits.

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