Day 01

Manaus to the Lodge via the Meeting of the Waters

Hotel pickup is at 8:00, followed by transport by car to Ceasa Port. Then transfer to a speedboat to cross the river, with views and explanations of the Meeting of the Waters, where the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões meet.
Continue the journey by van from Careiro da Varzea for 1 hour along the TransAmazonica road to arrive at Mamori.
Complete the final section of the journey to the lodge by speedboat, arriving at around 11:30.
After lunch, relax, swim in the Amazon River, and explore the lodge until 14:00, when the afternoon activities begin.
Sail out on a local wooden canoe for wildlife spotting, with a great opportunity to encounter sloths, boas, monkeys, and pink river dolphins.
Return to the lodge after watching the unforgettable Amazon sunset at around 18:30, just in time for dinner.
Enjoy the bar at the lodge or a restful night's sleep in air-conditioned cabins.

Sunrise, Jungle Trekking, Fishing and Caiman Spotting

Set out on a sunrise boat tour at 5:30 for a spectacular view, then return to the lodge for a traditional Amazonian breakfast.
At 8:00, go jungle trekking for an up-close introduction to Amazon fauna and flora. Edible and medicinal plants will be introduced, and there is a great opportunity to spot monkeys, sloths, snakes, tarantulas, and poison dart frogs.
