Black River Anavilhanas Archipelago
The Rio Negro, a vast 2,250 km river and the main tributary of the Amazon, reveals all its magic in... more+ the early morning. You set off to explore at the hour when the birds awaken: flocks of macaws and multicolored parrots take flight, fish eagles glide above the dark waters, and a multitude of species bring the canopy to life. This morning observation is followed by a walk in the unflooded forest, guided by an exploration of botanical diversity: precious woods, palms, medicinal plants, and vines such as araba and piquia, whose traditional uses are still alive today. The inhabitants of the riverbanks have formed an association to protect this exceptional biodiversity.

It is home to one of the richest biodiversities on the planet, where unspoiled nature flourishes. A walk in the forest is dedicated to discovering the emblematic trees of the Brazilian Amazon, including the majestic Samauma, nicknamed the "mother of the forest" for its size and ecological role. You then continue your exploration by canoe on the Carabineni River, whose calm waters are ideal for observing the local wildlife.

Old Airao Novo Airao
When you wake up, the boat will have reached the outskirts of Novo Airao, a charming little... more+ Amazonian town nestled on the majestic banks of the Rio Negro. A privileged gateway to the immense Anavilhanas archipelago, one of the largest river archipelagos in the world, Novo Airao charms visitors with its serene atmosphere and unspoiled authenticity. You will walk to the village for a guided tour through its quiet streets lined with colorful houses and small shops run by local artisans. Carved wood, woven fibers, natural pigments, objects inspired by Amazonian mythology: the crafts of Novo Airao truly reflect the soul of the region and its ancestral know-how. The tour continues with a visit to a craft brewery, where you will learn about the production of local beers with surprising flavors, sometimes infused with Amazonian fruits. In the afternoon, you will once again board a speedboat for a trip along the banks of the Rio Negro. This excursion allows you to observe the river's different ecosystems, its black sand beaches, and its flooded areas up close. With a little luck, you will see Amazonian dolphins, gray or pink, which sometimes swim curiously around the boats. Birds are also abundant: herons, kingfishers, hoatzins, and other species typical of the region. Between local encounters, cultural discovery, and immersion in nature, this day in Novo Airao offers a beautiful balance between the gentle pace of life and exploration of the natural riches of the Amazon.

Novo Airao Acajatuba Rio Ariau
Early in the morning, you will arrive at the peaceful village of Acajatuba, a collection of small... more+ traditional wooden houses, often built on stilts to adapt to changes in water levels. The village, painted in bright colors, reflects the simple and harmonious daily life of its inhabitants, who live in tune with the river and the forest. Your guide will take you to meet this warm community, where you will discover their way of life, their food crops, and their intimate relationship with the Amazonian environment. After the visit, a moment of relaxation awaits you: you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the black, fresh waters of the Rio Negro, renowned for their purity and absence of mosquitoes. With a little luck, some curious and playful Amazonian dolphins will approach the group, offering a memorable and unique encounter. In the afternoon, you will embark on a boat trip to the Ariaú Canal, a spectacular natural passage connecting the Amazon to the Rio Negro. This labyrinth of calm waters, bordered by flooded forests and lush vegetation, is one of the most biodiverse places in the region. As you travel along the banks, your guides will teach you how to read the landscape: animal tracks, footprints, birdsong, movements in the foliage... This is where you can often see the famous "mão amarela" monkeys, or yellow-handed monkeys, recognizable by their small golden paws contrasting with their dark fur. Agile and lively, they move in groups through the canopy, jumping from branch to branch in search of fruit and insects. This day of exploration is a wonderful combination of human encounters, immersion in nature, and wildlife observation, bringing you even closer to the living essence of the Amazon.

Rio Ariau Black River Solimoes
At the first light of day, the Amazon rainforest awakens before your eyes in a spectacle of... more+ incomparable beauty. The reflection of giant trees and the orange-pink sky is outlined on the still surface of the river, creating a living canvas where every movement reveals a fragment of life: the flapping of heron wings, the distant cries of monkeys, or the silent passage of a canoe carrying fishermen and families to their daily activities. You then continue on to one of the most fascinating natural phenomena in the Amazon basin: the Meeting of the Waters. Here, the clear, almost black waters of the Rio Negro, acidic and light, flow gently alongside the yellow, silt-laden waters of the Solimões. For miles, the two rivers do not mix, creating a winding border on the surface, a veritable liquid lace where colors and textures coexist without blending, before finally merging into the majestic Amazon River. Your guides will explain this unique phenomenon, which is linked to differences in temperature, density, and speed between the two waters. From your boat, you observe this striking contrast, which seems almost unreal, as if two worlds were meeting. After dinner, it's time for a nighttime adventure. Under the starlight, you set off on a canoe expedition in search of caimans. The silence of the night is broken only by the rustling of leaves and the mysterious sounds of the sleeping forest. Then the magic happens: in the beam of the flashlights, red dots appear on the surface of the river—the eyes of the caimans, shining like tiny diamonds in the darkness. An intense, respectful, and unforgettable experience that reveals another facet of Amazonian life.

Solimoes Janauari Lake Rio Manaquiri
At dawn, while the mist still hovers over the calm waters, you set off to explore Lake Janauacá by... more+ canoe. It is one of the most beautiful moments of the day, when nature slowly awakens: birds set off to hunt, herons glide silently over the reeds, and pink and gray dolphins venture close to the shore to hunt for fish hidden in the silt-laden waters. All around you, life is getting organized: fishermen's canoes glide across the lake, punctuating the landscape with familiar, moving silhouettes. The communities living around the lake derive their livelihood from cassava cultivation, fishing, and small-scale traditional livestock farming. Here, the soil is particularly fertile: seasonal floods deposit a generous layer of nutrients each year, enriching the land and shaping the rhythm of life throughout the region. You continue sailing on the more intimate Manaquiri River, lined with deep forests where isolated villages, shady trails, and authentic scenes of life follow one another. Encounters with the inhabitants of the riverbanks offer you a precious glimpse into their daily lives, closely linked to the river and the forest. Throughout the day, wildlife can be observed: curious monkeys, colorful birds, discreet reptiles, not to mention the countless varieties of plants that populate this generous forest. When the sun dips behind the canopy, the warm colors of the sky envelop the river in an almost unreal atmosphere. After nightfall, you set off on a nighttime motorboat excursion in search of wildlife that becomes particularly active in the dark. The rustling of leaves, the glints of light on the water, the sparkling eyes of animals lining the banks... a striking immersion in the mysterious and vibrant Amazonian night.

Rio Manaquiri Janauari Lake
You leave Manaquiri early in the morning and begin your journey towards Lake Janauari, taking the... more+ Parana do Barroso canal, one of the winding branches of the Amazon where nature expresses itself at every moment. This canal, a veritable corridor of biodiversity, is ideal for observing the flora and fauna that thrive away from the main shipping lanes: birds chirping near the banks, monkeys swinging between the vines, lush vegetation plunging directly into the water. As you move forward, the scene changes and becomes more human: the banks come alive with the daily life of the river's inhabitants. You pass floating houses or houses built on stilts, often painted in bright colors, truly adapted to an environment where water dictates the pace of life. On wooden platforms, women and children bustle about doing laundry or bathing; their laughter and simple gestures create a lively and warm scene. Further on, fishermen cast their cast nets with a precise movement passed down from generation to generation. Boats laden with goods pass each other in a silent ballet, while the forest in the background continues its perpetual movement: birds flying, wings rustling, bursts of color and sparkles on the water. This peaceful and abundant navigation offers you a privileged glimpse into Amazonian life, where humans and nature live in close symbiosis. At the end of the day, you arrive in the vast region of Lake Janauari, whose waters and floating islands constitute a unique ecosystem, a prelude to new explorations.

Janauari Lake Manaus

The lake is also famous for its impressive Victoria amazonica, giant water lilies whose circular leaves can reach up to 2.5 meters in diameter—true botanical wonders floating on the surface. After this final immersion in the heart of the forest, you will return to Manaus at the end of the morning. Disembark and transfer to your hotel to settle in and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure. Lunch, afternoon, and evening at leisure. Overnight at the hotel.
