Begin of the trip

Day 1 – From Manaus to the Jungle Camp

At 8:00 am, you are picked up from your hotel and your Amazon Jungle Tour from Manaus begins. You’ll be transferred to Ceasa Port, where you board a speedboat and navigate along the Rio Negro to the Meeting of the Waters, the point where the Rio Negro and Solimões Rivers meet but do not mix.

You then continue to the fishing village of Careiro da Várzea on the far side of the Solimões. From there, the journey continues by car or van for about 1 hour to the Paraná do Mamori River. The group then boards a speedboat for about 30 minutes, arriving at the lodge at around 11:30 am. Lunch is served at 12:00 pm.

At 2:30 pm, the group departs by motorized boat to the first jungle campsite. Your guide will set up hammocks and mosquito nets, then build a fire to prepare dinner. After eating, everyone gathers around the fire to enjoy the first night out in the Amazon jungle, while the guide shares stories about the forest and its wildlife – an unforgettable start to your adventure.

Day 3 – Survival Skills & Day/Night Fishing

From 8:00 am to 11:00 am, the group sets out on another jungle hike, exploring deeper into the forest and learning what can be used to survive in the Amazon – fruits, plants, and other natural resources. Afterwards, you return to camp to prepare lunch over the fire.

After lunch, the group packs up and moves to a new campsite. Once camp is set, everyone grabs their fishing gear and heads by boat to a nearby river to try catching piranhas and other fish. After a few hours, you return to camp, clean and prepare the fish, and enjoy a fresh jungle dinner.

Later, you go back out for night spearfishing, using only a harpoon and flashlight to catch a few more fish before returning to camp for the night.
