at around 7 AM with an early pick-up from the airport, or from your

On
the way we pass the famous "Meeting of Waters" where black waters of
the Negro River meet with the brown colored waters of the Amazon
River
(Solimões). Waters of the two rivers run side by side for many
kilometers before finally mixing.
Upon arrival at
Acajatuba lodge you will be greeted with a welcome drink before
checking into your comfortable accommodations.
PM - Lunch will be served at the lodge followed by a
guided canoe tour through the "igarapés" and "igapós". While
exploring this part of the mid-Amazon you will get a feel of the
mighty Amazon Rainforest that surrounds you at all times. While
paddling along the waters the bi-lingual Naturalist guide will
explain about the forest, the use of plants and vines and the fauna
in this magnificent region. You will return to lodge to enjoy the
always beautiful sunset over the Amazon forest.
EVE - After
dinner we leave the lodge in small boats. A guide will take us along
streams and small rivers in search of the elusive Amazon Caiman.
With flashlight in hand he will try to get close enough for a good
look. Nocturnal birds and small mammals may also be spotted along
the banks of the river. Overnight at the lodge.
(L & D.)
Day 2
- Acajatuba Lodge -
Amazon River and Rainforest
AM - The early morning hours are perhaps the best time to
really appreciate the Amazon rainforest. The sounds of insects,
birds and animals will stay in your mind for a long time after you
have left this part of the world. Prepare for an early tour
to
admire the sunrise and the Amazonian birds. After breakfast at the
lodge the guides will take us out into the jungle for some
adventurous trekking. Along the path they will explain about the
flora and fauna of the region. Before returning to the lodge we will
also visit a caboclo’s (native) house.
