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.
> Amazon expedition trip: 13 days
> Trip departing on 13 October
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.
