After this, get ready to board a voadeira (speedboat) for a tour of the Anavilhanas National Park, starting at 4 pm.

During the dry season (June to November), you’ll find clear sandy beaches and calm, dark waters. In the rainy season (December to May), the forest becomes flooded, and the trail winds through the treetops, offering a completely different but equally magical experience in each season.

To round off this wonderful first day, the group can head to one of the best viewpoints on the islands and watch the sun set over the Amazon! Take the opportunity to soak up the silence, feel the tranquility and watch the colors of the sky reflected in the mirrored waters of the Rio Negro.

At night, guests can join a nocturnal wildlife tour led by experienced guides through the Anavilhanas National Park. Get ready to spot caimans along the riverbanks and, with a bit of luck, even a sloth resting in the trees! Back to the lodge, be sure to enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel.

After a hearty breakfast, hop on a boat to Casa Rosa, a small riverside museum featuring artifacts from river life and historical photos. From there, the trail to the Madadá Caves begins!

Enjoy a peaceful walk along a flat, easy trail, perfect for taking in the unique flora and fauna of the region. The hike takes about three hours, with several stops to explore and learn more about the environment along the way. After the adventure, recharge with a traditional lunch of grilled fish and other local flavours.

In the rainy season, the day begins with a boat trip to the Sobrado community. There, an immersive forest walk leads to the majestic Samaúma tree.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil?

There are a few ways to visit the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, but the most convenient one is to fly to Manaus, the capital of Amazonas.

From the US, travelers can choose between two different direct flights, one from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and one from Miami (MIA). Bogotá (BOG) and Panama (PTY) are also great options for Americans and Europeans to land in Manaus as soon as the plane hits Brazilian territory. Otherwise, layovers in São Paulo (GRU), Rio de Janeiro (GIG) or Brasília (BSB) are to be expected.

The Amazon in Mato Grosso and Pará are also amazing vacation spots to explore nature.

When is the best time to visit the Amazon Rainforest?

Although the Amazon is considered a year-round destination, the period from January to September offers the best climate conditions because it avoids the peak of Dry Season at the same time that there are good hiking trail options and enough water for aquatic activities.

Speaking of those, the Wet Season (December to May) is great for people who want to enjoy the Amazonian rivers by kayaking, canoeing, swimming and exploring the flooded forest. Rainstorms are common, but they don’t last too long.

The Dry Season (June to November) is popular because it usually allows both water and land-based activities. However, it’s important to notice that extended droughts are becoming more frequent, especially from October to December. This causes low water levels and limited access to a few areas and itineraries, but things tend to get better by January.
