5-Day Amazon Manaus Jungle Adventure

We begin our adventure with a 7:45 am accommodation pick-up, followed by an 8:00 am departure from Manaus and a transfer to the CEASA harbour, where you will take a speedboat to cross the river to Carreiro village. There, you will take a van for around 60 minutes until you reach a place called Paraná do Mamori, where you will take a second speed boat to reach the Amazon Jungle Lodge where you will be staying overnight. Upon arrival at 11:00 am, you will get checked in, have lunch and get started with your activities.

First, you will go for an exciting canoe tour where you can fish for piranha and watch for rare pink river dolphins, depending on the season. We will return to the lodge for dinner before heading back out on the river at night to search for Caiman crocodiles. Keep your eyes peeled as your guide points out these giant reptiles. Return to the lodge for a good night’s sleep.

Overnight at Amazon Jungle Lodge

Early in the morning you will see the beautiful jungle sunrise and go on a bird watching tour. Return to the lodge for breakfast followed by an ecological jungle trek from 8:00 to 11:00am, where the guide will explain all about native medicinal plants, some techniques of survival in the jungle, and the animals that you can see during the trek like spiders, various kinds of monkeys, sloths etc. (We, unfortunately, cannot promise that you will see wild animals, but since Juma Lake is a protected area, there is a good chance you will see wildlife).

After lunch, around 2:00 pm, you will leave for an overnight expedition into the jungle, where you will learn about the nightlife of the area. Look for nocturnal animals, try your hand at spearfishing, and learn survival techniques in the jungle. Experience the once-in-a-lifetime sensation of sleeping in a hammock to the sounds of the tropical rainforest.

Sleep in the hammock

Wake up to breakfast in the jungle freshly prepared by your guide. Take the morning to explore the jungle by paddle canoeing in the flooded forest and small creeks where you will learn about the fauna and the flora of the region. Return to the lodge for lunch. After lunch, visit a local family home in a Caboclo Village to learn about their unique way of life. See how these indigenous people live in harmony with nature and how they make manioc flour and other household items they need to survive. Have dinner with your local family and spend a night at their home sleeping deep in the Amazon Jungle.

Homestay

Trek in the jungle to see different areas, take a canoe ride through the small channels and watch for monkeys, birds, dolphins and other interesting animals. Test your survival skills by overnighting in the jungle with the help of a local guide who will teach you about this delicate habitat. You will be sleeping another night in a hammock.

Overnight in a hammock

Wake up for your last breakfast in the jungle and make your way back to the Jungle Lodge where you will arrive in time for lunch around 11:30 am. Rest up after your big adventure and prepare your things for your journey back to Manaus departing from the lodge at 1:00 pm, arriving back to the city by 5:00 pm. You will be dropped off at the Manaus city centre. Please make your own way to the accommodation of your choice.
