Amazon Jungle Expedition: 6-Day Trek and Survival Tour

Travelers are picked up from their Manaus hotels at 8 AM and driven 12 km (about 20 minutes) to Ceasa Port, then board a speedboat down the Rio Negro to the Meeting of the Waters. After crossing to the fishing village of Careiro da Várzea, the trip continues overland for roughly an hour to the Paraná do Mamori, followed by a short boat ride to the base, reached after about 4 hours of travel, where lunch is served around noon.

The journey isn’t short, but it allows for views of the forest, with chances of seeing wildlife, such as pink river dolphins and countless species of birds, and gorgeous landscapes of the forest and the river. This is your first taste of the Amazon Rainforest.

At 2:30 PM, the group sets off by motorized canoe to the first jungle camp to rig hammocks and mosquito nets and gather around the campfire for stories about the forest and local life.

Meals included: Lunch / Dinner

The day starts with a 5:30 AM canoe trip to watch the sunrise, followed by breakfast at 7:00 AM and a 3.5-hour guided jungle walk to learn about medicinal plants, spiders, towering trees, and, with luck, monkeys.

In the afternoon, another canoe trip explores the flooded forest and narrow channels, watching for toucans and macaws. After dinner, the night brings alligator spotting along the riverbanks.

From 8 to 11 AM, a guided hike reveals edible plants, fruits, and food sources before returning to camp for lunch cooked over an open fire.

In the afternoon, the group moves to a new campsite and sets out river fishing for piranha and other regional fish, which are cleaned and prepared for dinner. After dark, a night fishing trip uses only a spear and a flashlight.

After breakfast, a boat trip through the Amazon’s channels and streams is a chance to observe exotic birds and wildlife. At the next stop, the group sets up a new campsite and has lunch, then continues with an afternoon jungle hike focused on biodiversity and survival.

As the sun sets, a boat night safari searches the waterways for nocturnal wildlife such as birds, snakes, bats, and spiders.

Meals included: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

The Amazon jungle expedition goes deeper into the rainforest to explore its survival resources, learning to identify edible plants and insects.

The group returns to camp for lunch with local ingredients, then relocates to a new camp where you learn to build a safe shelter and take part in a traditional spear-fishing experience, cooking the catch over the fire for dinner under a starry sky.

Meals included: Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner

The final morning of the Amazon trek and survival tour explores the floodplain, one of the best places to observe wildlife. Depending on the season, the group travels on foot (September to March) or by boat through the flooded forest, with chances to spot exotic birds and monkeys.

After the morning of exploration, the group returns to base for lunch before the journey back to Manaus, departing at 1 PM and arriving around 4 PM.
