3-day Amazon Jungle Tour from Manaus

Our adventure into the Amazon jungle tour starts at 08:00 a.m. from Manaus, leaving the hotel by car to the river port Ceasa, a quick 20-minute drive. From there we board a boat to the village of Careiro da Varzea, and during the 30-minute trip, you’ll witness the phenomenon of Meeting of the Waters, where the dark waters of the Negro River and the muddy waters of the Solimões River converge to form the Amazon River. Keep an eye out for the curious pink river dolphins that often come out to greet travellers!

Our journey continues with a visit to the local fruit market, followed by a bus or van ride to the Araça River via the Manaus-Porto Velho highway. On arrival, we’ll board another boat and navigate through a series of lakes, to spot birds, alligators, sloths, and monkeys. You’ll also have the chance to see the giant Amazon waterlilies (Vitoria Regia) with their floating leaves. The journey to the lodge is an adventure in itself, promising unexpected encounters with the jungle’s inhabitants.

Arriving at the lodge around midday, a buffet lunch of fresh fish, meat, salads, and fruits from the Amazon jungle awaits you. The afternoon is dedicated to a motorized canoe trip to learn and see more about the region’s landscapes and diverse wildlife.

Dinner is served around 7:00 p.m. in the lodge restaurant. It’s the perfect end to a day full of adventure and discovery.

Your second day on the Amazon jungle tour starts early! At 5:30 a.m. we take our motorized canoes to enjoy a spectacular colourful sunrise in the rainforest and observe nature, especially the birds awakening to the first rays of sunlight. After a typical jungle breakfast back at the lodge we will go on a hike where our guide will teach you some survival techniques and introduce you to different eatable and medicinal plants. Curious about what else the Amazon has to offer we return to the lodge for lunch.

The afternoon is reserved for piranha fishing, an experience that introduces you to one of the most striking species that you will meet in our Amazon Jungle tour. After sunset and dinner, we venture out in a canoe to observe the nocturnal fauna and spot the alligators. This experience, led by our expert guides, allows us to get up close and personal with these unique creatures.

Our last day of your jungle adventure starts with breakfast at 08:00 a.m., followed by a visit to a local Caboclo’s house! This experience offers an insight into their traditions, sustainable practices and way of life. You will even get the opportunity to visit the local school. 

After lunch at the lodge, we’ll make our way back to Manaus, arriving at 5 p.m. This will mark the end of our Amazon Jungle tour, which has given us not only a quick and significant discovery of the Amazon’s natural wonders but also a connection with nature, the land, and its people.
