Day 1
|
Leaving at 08:30 from the Floating Docks, we go down the
Rio Negro to the famous “Meeting of the Waters”, the
junction of Negro and Solimões rivers, where freshwater
dolphins can often be spotted. Afterwards, we boat to
the Janauary Ecological Park to see giant floating water
lilies, captive wild animals, and a wide variety of
handcrafts. Around 12:00, the boat stops for lunch.
From Janauary Park we move further up the Rio Solimões
to the Anavilhanas archipelago - with hundreds of
islands this is one of the largest Archipelagos in the
world. From there, we depart in canoes for piranha
fishing. After fishing we will canoe through the igapos
(flooded forest). Dinner. Right after dusk, we depart in
canoes in search of alligators. The guide spots its eyes
with a powerful torch and carefully approaches the
alligator, grabbing it with his bare hands. After the
explanation about this interesting reptile, the guide
will let it go free again. We overnight on board the
boat in hammocks. |
