Amazon Jungle Survival Tour

Departure from Manaus at 8 a.m.

Immersion in the Amazon starts early. At 8:00 AM, travellers will be picked up from their hotels in Manaus and transferred to the Ceasa port, a 12 km drive that takes around 20 minutes. From there, we board a speedboat and head down the Rio Negro towards the famous Meeting of the Waters, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro run side by side with the muddy Rio Solimões without mixing, a striking natural phenomenon.

Next, we’ll cross the Solimões River to reach the small fishing village of Careiro da Várzea. From there, the journey continues overland by car or van for about an hour, heading towards the Paraná do Mamori River. The final leg is another short boat ride, approximately 30 minutes.

What a ride! After about 4 hours of travel, an adventure in itself, we’ll arrive at the base where lunch will be served around 12:00.

At 2:30 PM, the group sets off in a motorised canoe to reach the first jungle camp. On arrival, your guide will help you set up your hammock and mosquito net, and prepare a fire for dinner. After the meal, everyone gathers around the campfire to hear stories about the forest and local life, a deep dive into the culture, myths, and survival skills of the Amazon.

Your first night in the rainforest is a full immersion in the heart of the jungle, the perfect beginning to a true Amazon survival experience.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
