4-Day Brazilian Amazon Jungle Tour

Our adventure into the Brazilian Amazon jungle tour starts at 8 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. 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 Brazilian 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 at 7 pm in the lodge restaurant. It’s the perfect end to a day full of adventure and discovery.

The adventure begins at 5:30 a.m. with a sunrise birdwatching on our second day with the Brazilian Amazon jungle tour, providing a wonderful opportunity to experience nature awakening with the sun. Afterwards, we return to the lodge for breakfast. At 8 a.m., we go on a jungle trek led by our experienced guides, where you will learn survival tactics, such as how to use lianas as ropes and climb trees, as well as how to find water and food. Along the way, you will learn about the rich biodiversity and wildlife of the Amazon Jungle.

After, we will go to the river to go canoeing with oars to observe more wildlife such as sloths and monkeys, photograph beautiful landscapes, contemplate Amazonian fauna and flora and stimulate our senses and listen to the sounds of the jungle.Back at the lodge, we have dinner at 7pm and then canoe out 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.

Your next day of our Brazilian Amazon Jungle Tour starts with a delicious breakfast at 8 a.m. and afterwards, you will depart from the lodge with your English-speaking guide to visit a local’s home and gain insight into their way of life in the Brazilian Amazon jungle. You will have the opportunity to learn about their culture, customs, and traditions. On the return journey to the lodge, you will visit a cassava and rubber plantation where locals will demonstrate how they collect vegetables, fruits, nuts, and spices. You will also have the chance to taste some of these exotic products.

After lunch, we will return to the river to practice the famous piranha fishing. An experience like that introduces you to one of the most striking species that you will meet in your Brazilian Amazon jungle tour. 

Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. The rest of the night you’ll be free to relax, the perfect moment to appreciate the various noises and mysteries of the Amazonian rain forest.

The final day of our Brazilian Amazon jungle begins with breakfast at 8 a.m. Depending on the itinerary, there is the possibility of an additional tour in the morning such as: observing the Amazon’s pink river dolphins as we navigate through the small channels (Igarapés) and the flooded forest areas (Igapós) — that usually appear from February to July. In case you need to leave early due to your flight or other reasons, you can skip the morning excursion and leave for Manaus right after breakfast.

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 Brazilian Amazon jungle, 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.
