For lovers of unspoilt nature, we have organized this trip to Brazil in October travelling up the Amazon River from Manaus to the Anavilhanas Archipelago, deep in the jungle.

 

On board a regional boat equipped for trips and expeditions in the Amazon, we will travel up its tributaries to meet indigenous communities, see pink dolphins and take canoe trips through the flooded forest.

Ships have all possible comforts for expeditions of this type and we are accompanied by a crew and, at times, local guides who will introduce us to life in the Amazon river communities. They usually have two decks, and cabins with toilets can be booked depending on the size of the group. Built from wood, they are simple and comfortable.

 

The Amazon River is Manaus’s main transport artery.

The Amazon is immense and unstoppable. Leaving its main channel behind, we find the jungle we were hoping for among the tributaries and waterways.

INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES

Upriver, we stop at several Indigenous communities. Travellers can observe the difference between those where NGOs are present

During the trip, we anchor the boat in quiet stretches of the Apuau River, which will serve as our “base camp” for several days.

At night, those who wish can leave the safety of the boat and camp in the jungle: an explosion of sounds, smells, darkness and caimans… a real face-to-face encounter with nature.

The collection of paintings and engravings on rocks and walls in Tassili N’Ajjer is the world’s largest open-air collection of Neolithic art.

A World Heritage Site since 1982 and a Biosphere Reserve since 1986, its walls bear the traces of prehistoric civilizations which, almost by miracle, remain in the midst of a terribly hostile climate much of the year.

The Tadrart is the objective of our next trips to Algeria from October to March, with Red sand dunes and an impressive canyon, where fantastical landscapes conceal sculpted stone formations and springs of crystal-clear water.

Taking advantage of that this month of October we return to Algeria, we would like to show you some of the best Sahara photographs we have collected over the years.

The Guelta d’Archei last refuge of the Nile crocodile, the Ennedi Plateau, surrounded by vast stretches of sand, and the lakes of Ounianga are among the highlights of this essential route for experienced travellers and lovers of the desert in its purest form.

Combining journeys in 4×4 vehicles with easy walks, this route takes us to both the northern Ennedi Massif and its most emblematic sites: the Guelta d’Archei, Béchiké…Combined with crossing the Mourdi Depression and visiting the Ounianga Lakes area, this gives us a comprehensive view of the desert in northern Chad and the small settlements dotted along it.
