Amazon Brazil Package

Overview

If you are a nature lover, experiencing the world’s largest Rainforest is a can’t miss. It’s one of South America’s most visited destinations and the lungs of the world! Our Amazon Brazil Package starts with a night in Manaus. It’s the gateway city to the Brazilan Amazon and recommended for 1 to 2 nights.

For your Amazon Adventure, you can choose between an Amazon Jungle Lodge or a Cruise down the Amazon River. You can choose your experience, but keep in mind that the Amazon Cruises depart on certain days of the week and go from 2, 3, 4, 5 & 7 nights. If your dates are not flexible, we recommend staying in an Amazon Lodge.

All of the lodges or cruises that we work with are highly recommended. It is the Amazon so most options are rustic so the luxurious options will not always offer the same amenities as a 5-star hotel in a large city. All of the accommodation or cruise options include all meals (not including drinks) as well as activities (such as hiking, canoeing, visiting an indian village, fishing, etc).

We provide packages to the Amazon year-round, but as far as the best times to go, we recommend between May & June (in between the rainiest and driest months). The Amazon’s rainy season is from February to April and dry season is September to November. Keep in mind that the Amazon Jungle Lodges and Amazon Cruises sell out months at a time, so we recommend booking our Amazon Brazil package sooner than later.

Our Amazon Brazil package is the perfect add-on to other cities in Brazil or on its own and 100% customizable. Keep in mind that Manaus is in the North of Brazil and pretty far away from other cities so we recommend going to the Amazon at the start or end of your Brazilian Vacation.

Itinerary

Sample Amazon Brazil Itinerary (Eco-Lodge):

Day 1: You will be picked up at the Manaus Airport and driven to your hotel in Manaus. Day/Night at leisure or ask your sales rep about additional excursions.

Day 2: Pick-up at 8:30am and taken to the Amazon Lodge. When you arrive, you will be welcomed with a drink. Once checked-in to your rooms, you will visit the Monkey Forest. Here you will enjoy a tour before returning to the lodge for lunch. In the afternoon enjoy a guided fishing excursion in paddle or motorized canoes to fish for piranhas or the catch of the season. Returning to the Lodge, you will enjoy dinner before departing on canoes to search for alligators. This evening during your time on the water, enjoy the nocturnal sounds of the jungle as you search for alligators, spotted because their eyes shine red in the dark. Once an alligator is spotted by the guide’s spotlight, he will try to catch a small alligator with his own hands and bring it on to the canoe, and a brief explanation of their habitat follows. The alligator will then be safely released back to the river. (No harm is done to any of the animals).

Day 3: This morning after breakfast you will depart for a tour of the Meeting of the Waters. Traveling by boat you will pass along the city of Manaus viewing the Amazonas Theatre and the Port of Manaus, arriving at your destination slightly before noon. The Meeting of the Waters is the merge of the Negro and Solimoes Rivers, from this point both rivers form to create the Amazon River that travels all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters of the two rivers run side by side for approximately 12kms without mixing, creating an unusual and fascinating site.
Traveling along the newly formed Amazon River, you will reach the island ‘Terra Nova’ for lunch at a typical restaurant (not included in price). Dependent on the weather, you will also visit the island’s local village before returning to the lodge.

Day 4: This morning after breakfast you will enjoy a nature hike. The biodiversity surrounding the Ecopark is stunning and includes the virgin rainforest and natural savannahs. During the tour your local guide will point out the local flora and fauna, discussing with you how and where to find edible fruits, portable water and how to spot plants that can be used for medicinal purposes. Depending on the active level of the group, this hike can last between one and three hours. Returning to the lodge you will enjoy lunch before departing to the Manaus Airport.

*Keep in mind that this is only a sample itinerary and can change depending on the Amazon Lodge you choose as well as the number of nights you stay at the lodge. 2 to 3 nights is Recommended.
