MANAUS - Rio Negro - Meeting of the Waters (Rio Negro and Amazon) - Janauacá Lake - MANAUS
Where the forest knows no borders, where thousands of plant and animal species coexist to form a one-of-a-kind ecosystem, where the soft morning light reveals lush and colorful landscapes, and where nightfall brings with it mystical sounds open to interpretation, far from civilization, in the midst of untamed life and human silence, embark on an exclusive cruise through the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Sailing along the Rio Negro will provide a unique opportunity to observe the region's rich wildlife: brilliantly colored macaws, mischievous monkeys, caimans camouflaged among drifting logs, and even pink river dolphins playing in the dark waters, moving moments suspended in time.
The Amazon River reveals the everyday life of the inhabited part of the jungle, with vibrant scenes unfolding along the banks: stilted villages, floating markets, and freshwater archipelagos glide past. Encounters with local communities will be thoughtfully arranged, ensuring mutual respect and offering deeply emotional and meaningful exchanges.
With nearly 40,000 plant species and hundreds of thousands of animal species, the Amazon is home to an unparalleled wealth of flora and fauna. This intimate cruise through the rainforest will leave you with unforgettable memories etched deep within.
