|

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 the 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 a 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 to 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 in hammocks. |

the sun rise. Breakfast. After breakfast, the
guide will take us to the jungle for 3 or 4
hours of walking with explanation of the

economically important tress like the rubber
tree and Brazil Nut tree. Afterwards, we boat to
the village of the Terra-Preta Indians - these
natives speak Ningatu and many do not speak any
Portuguese at all. Near the village, it's
possible to see a manioc plantation as well as
the Cabaclo’s house where the manioc flour is
made. Have dinner and sleep on board (or
