Welcome to the Amazon

Lago de Acajatuba - Depart from your hotel in Manaus at approximately 8:00 AM. A brief drive west leads to the breathtaking Lake Acajatuba, where a canoe ride takes you to a charming riverside lodge. After settling in, enjoy a picturesque boat tour to explore the surroundings.

Ariaú - In the afternoon, quietly paddle through creeks and lakes, on the lookout for wildlife such as birds, monkeys, and possibly sloths (sightings are not guaranteed as animals roam freely here!).

Next, try your hand at piranha fishing — catch one and it might be served for dinner!

As night descends, return to the water to seek out caymans and nocturnal creatures. The jungle comes alive with sounds. Look up — the Amazon night sky is truly awe-inspiring.
