The little-known Amazon: tributaries of the Rio Negro

We set off from Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, and travel up the Rio Negro towards the area between the Cueiras and Apuaú rivers. It is on these tributaries that we will have a truly intimate, immersive jungle experience, something difficult to achieve on the vast Amazon that runs further downstream, always with more boat traffic and a larger population.

On our expedition, we will travel with guide Enric Marsà, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years and knows the terrain extremely well.
