From Manaus: One-Day Amazon Jungle Experience

Highlights

• Embark on a jungle trek and learn about Amazonian fauna and flora
• Swim with pink river dolphins
• Fish for ferocious piranhas
• Enjoy a night ride on search for alligators and other nocturnal wildlife

Description

Start your day with pickup from your hotel at approximately 8am. Drive west from Manaus for about one hour until you reach the Castanho lake where your host will be waiting for you. Take a motorized canoe heading towards the jungle to begin a 3 hour trek. Learn more about Amazonian fauna and flora, medicinal plants, and jungle survival techniques. (you must wear long pants, closed toed shoes, use insect repellent and bring a raincoat)  Now we will enjoy a delicious lunch and earn more about the local people’s culture and Amazonian cuisine. (The lunch is simple, we don't have fancy menu. If rice, beans, spaghetti, manioc flour and vinaigrette is enough for you then we'll have the perfect lunch). After having some rest we hop into our canoe again to visit a project for the protection of pink river dolphins. Here you'll learn about these beautiful and friendly creatures, and the conservation efforts underway to protect them. You'll have the unique opportunity to enter the water to interact with them. (bring your swim suits and your towels) Enjoy a boat ride through the flooded forest to go piranha fishing and catch these famous ferocious water beasts and have a nice ride till the sunset. (Bring sunscreen and a hat for the ride as our canoe doesn't have a roof) As night falls embark on a search for alligators and other nocturnal wildlife species. We will return to the car and head back to Manaus, arriving at your hotel at approximately 8pm. (you can bring a flashlight if you want).
