You get picked up at 8 a.m. at your hotel and from there we go to the Seasa Port where we´ll get on board the speed boat that will cross us to the other side of the amazon river. At some point, the captain will stop at the amazing Meeting Of The Waters for pictures and information will be given about this phenomenon that happens between the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimões.
After we cross the Rio Solimões (Amazon river) we arrive at a town called Careiro da Várzea. From Careiro´s town, we drive on a kombi van for about an hour on the highway BR319 to arrive at the Mamori area where we´ll get onboard again on a speedboat to reach our lodge around 11:30 p.m.
At noon we’ll have lunch. Afterward, you have two hours to get to know the lodge, relax, and swim in the amazon river. The activities start around 2 p.m. We sail out on indigenous wooden canoes for animals and bird spotting where you might get the chance to see sloths, monkeys, and river dolphins (botos).
We´ll also go out to fish piranhas and if you like it we´ll prepare it for dinner for you. After we teach how to catch piranhas we´ll watch the beautiful amazonian sunset. We will return to the lodge around 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m.
After dinner, we´ll sail out to find and catch a wild caiman. The guide will catch the caiman and provide you with information about these prehistoric animals. After that, the guide will put it back in the water. He won´t hurt the caiman at any point. After this intense night activity, we will return back to the lodge to rest for the next day.
At 5:30 a.m. we start off the day by watching the amazonian sunrise. After the sunrise, we come back to the lodge to have a delicious traditional amazonian breakfast at 7 a.m. At 8 a.m. we´ll take you on a jungle trek. We´ll drive for 30 minutes until we arrive at the starting point of our jungle hiking.
We´ll be hiking from 8:30 until 11:30 a.m. During the hike, the guide will give you explanations about the flora and fauna of the Amazon jungle. You will learn all about the pharmaceutical trees, leaves, vines, and a lot more of what nature can give us. There is a good chance to see monkeys, sloths, snakes, tarantula spiders, dart frogs, and other interesting animals and insects of the amazon jungle.
We´ll go back to the lodge for lunch which will be served at noon. After lunch, you will have time to prepare yourself to leave the lodge at 2:00 p.m. for our next adventure.
We´ll drive for 40 minutes until a place in the jungle where we are going to set up our jungle camp. We will prepare the hammocks and mosquito nets for the night. After we have set our camp we´ll prepare our dinner. For vegetarians, there are a lot of different fruits and vegetables in the jungle that are eatable and good tasting. If you would like chicken or rice we´ll bring it with us from the lodge, but we recommend the amazonian way and catch our own fish with spears. You can choose whatever option you prefer.
We will make an open campfire in the jungle where we will make all our food. After dinner, we will look at the stars and tell stories about the amazonian people and our culture. This night we will sleep outside in the jungle. Prepare yourself for one of the most amazing nights of your lifetime.
We’ll have breakfast at 8 a.m. After breakfast, we’ll leave our camp to go visit one of the many native villages of the Amazon jungle. We’ll learn about their way of living and the guide will explain how these people live, grow crops, and feed their families. For example, the manioc root, which they use to produce a flour called Farinha.
You will learn about a culture that thrives without electricity and any other kind of luxury. For many, it´s an eye-opener to experience how it really is to live in the Amazon jungle.
After the visit to the native community, we will return back to the lodge. We will arrive at the lodge at 11:30 a.m. At noon we will have lunch. After lunch, you will have time to relax and prepare your stuff to leave at 2 p.m. We will return back to Manaus the same way we came. We will arrive back in Manaus at 4 p.m. and our driver will take you from the Seasa Port back to your hotel and that is the end of our tour.
