3-Day Manaus Amazon 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.

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 jungle. 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.

Note: Sleeping in a hammock is optional - if you wish, you can return to sleep at your lodge

After an early breakfast prepared by your guide in the jungle, you will visit a local Caboclo home to witness and 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. Return to the lodge for lunch.

After lunch you will return to Manaus as you reminisce about the great time you had in the jungle, arriving around 5:00 pm. You will be dropped off at the Manaus city centre. Please make your own way to the accommodation of your choice.
