Itinerary

Day 1

Over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus

Destination: Manaus

Your flight takes you over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus, flying above miles of nothing but green jungle and silver rivers for the final hour or more.

A tour of Manaus takes in the amazing array of Amazon produce at the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market and the Floating Dock on the edge of the Rio Negro. You will then visit the Amazon Theatre, the symbol of the city built during the rubber boom that made Manaus famous around the world. You return to your hotel after the tour with the evening free.

Day 2

Journey to the Jungle

Destination: Manaus to Tucan Amazon Lodge

In the morning you will be picked up for the two and a half hour journey through the jungle, completing the journey to Tucan Lodge by boat amongst the sights and sounds of the Amazon. The lodge sits on the edge of Lago de Acajatuba, part of the Rio Negro river system, and after checking in to your chalet built on stilts to cope with the huge change in the water levels of the Amazon, you can enjoy your first look at the Amazon. Afternoon options include paddling a canoe around the lake and amongst the trees of the flooded forests, while a night safari gives you a close-up look at the caiman. Snakes, tarantulas and amphibians can also be spotted by torchlight!

Day 3

Amazon Jungle Activities

Daytime activities include hiking through the jungle to learn about the forest plants, vines and trees, and the vast array of uses for them, from food to medicine, and construction materials for living, sleeping and paddling on the waters, which you can do by canoe at dawn. The creeks and flooded forests are also where you can fish for piranha - the most famous Amazon fish is not always as dangerous to us as humans are to them. You can also learn how many uses of those sharp teeth there are in the Amazon.

An extra option is to visit the indigenous communities of the rainforest, where you can observe representations of ceremonies and rituals in the traditional villages. You can also learn some words of tupi-guarani, the base language of many Amazon tribes. You can also become an Amazon Rainforest resident for a night, sleeping in hammocks and eating food cooked on the fire. The jungle is alive with sounds of creatures to keep you company, before the birds wake up at dawn.

Day 5

Day 6

Saying Goodbye to the Amazon
