Departure from the hotel at 07:30am for the site where the rio meets with the sea. The dark and amber water of Río Negro seems to hesitate before mixing with the more yellowish water of Solimoes. Go and observe from a motorboat the surprising show of these two waterways, running side by side over a few miles before mixing.

Reach the village of Igarapé do Rabicho, a charming little beach resort frequented during the weekends by the Manaus’ inhabitants. The last traces of civilization disappear as you enter deeper in a labyrinth of water and vegetation. Follow the meanders of the river resembling a ribbon reflecting the sunlight.

Once you arrive at the lodge, after settling, you are invited to share a typical local dinner (fish / feijao (beans) / rice / raw vegetables / fruit). After the dinner, departure around 08:00pm in motorized canoe with guide, searching for alligators called "caimans". Once they are paralized by the light of the flashlight, their eyes go red, enabling the guide to easily locate them. The guide will try to catch one of them with his bare hands and, depending on its size, bring it aboard the canoe for observation. Afterwards, the “caiman” is safely returned to the waters.

Night in the lodge.

Note 1: English-speaking guide;

Note 2: For your safety and comfort when traveling between Manaus and the lodge, we recommend that you take with you only the strict necessary items for your jungle trip, in a supple and easy to manipulate travel bag instead of a rigid suitcase. Upon return to Manaus you will be able to recover the things left there;

Note 3: The captain house of Manaus demands that all people navigating from the city are registered (name / first name / birth date / nationality) at least a week in advance. We, therefore, imperatively need all this information for each member of the group.

After a hearty breakfast, enter the forest in the company of your guide. The Indians have developped an empiric knowledge of the local wildlife and fauna that doesn’t cease to impress visitors.

The animals with which they co-habit do not hold any secrets for them. They know their habitat, their eating habits; know if they are comestible, and the best way to hunt them…

Some plants are used in everyday life (construction, weaving, tool fabrication, utensils or arms…); others are known for medicinal virtues. Each pain has its remedy. You will become aware that we are walking through an immense outdoor pharmacy…

The adaptation of the Indians to their natural habitat is equally shown by their capacity to orient themselves, precisely, without obvious landmarks and without the help of any navigation instruments, in the heart of a jungle where everything looks alike.

You return to the lodge for lunch. On the way back, if you are lucky, you might spot of few of the forest’s animals: a group of monkeys snacking, a tapir loudly escaping in front of you, a few snakes sleeping in the middle of a path, a toucan…

The rest of the day is dedicated to a pirogue tour on the nearby waterways/or a bath.

After dinner, your hosts invite you to take place around a blazing campfire on the white sand beach.

A frozen caïpirinha in your hand, enjoy the magic of the Amazonian night and the silence of a nature that nothing disturbs, except the crickets and the noise of the palms agitated by the breeze.
