Day 1 – The Journey into the Jungle
Departure at 8:30 AM – Pick-up from your hotel and a short drive to Ceasa Port.
From here, we board a speedboat and navigate towards the legendary Meeting of the Waters
Where the dark waters of the Rio Negro and the sandy-colored Amazon River run side by side without mixing.
A quick stop for photos (and maybe spotting playful pink dolphins!) makes this a magical beginning.
Along the way, we visit the local fruit market in Careiro Village, before continuing by van along the Trans-Amazonian Highway (BR-319).
We’ll stop for a beautiful view of the giant Victoria Regia water lilies before driving deeper into the countryside until we reach the Paraná do Mamori River.
A regional canoe ride takes us to the Ararinha Jungle Hotel, arriving around 12:30 PM.
After a delicious Amazonian lunch, we head out on a motorized canoe excursion to explore the area’s rich ecosystems.
Keep your eyes open for monkeys, sloths, and colorful birds.
The day ends with a breathtaking sunset over the river, followed by dinner at the lodge restaurant. Overnight at Ararinha Jungle Hotel.
Day 2 – Jungle Immersion
Start early (5:30 AM) with a magical sunrise tour and birdwatching experience, followed by breakfast.
At 8:30 AM, embark on an exciting jungle trek with our expert guide.
Learn about medicinal plants, survival techniques, and the secrets of the Amazon’s biodiversity as you walk through the rainforest.
Return for lunch at the lodge, then at 3:00 PM, enjoy a fun and traditional piranha fishing adventure.
After dinner, the night comes alive with an unforgettable alligator-spotting tour and the chance to experience the Amazon’s nocturnal wildlife.
Overnight at the lodge — or for the adventurous, spend the night camping in the jungle (if arranged with the guide and group).
Day 3 – Culture & Farewell
After breakfast, at 8:00 AM, we visit a local riverside family (caboclos). Discover their traditions, way of life, and see their plantations of cassava and other crops.
It’s a meaningful experience that connects you to the Amazon’s culture.
Return to the lodge for lunch, then at 1:30 PM, we begin our journey back to Manaus, arriving around 5:00 PM — drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
