Parque Nacional de Anavilhanas · Lago de Acajatuba · Manaus
Resumo da viagem
Where the forest knows no borders, where thousands of plant and animal species coexist to form a one-of-a-kind ecosystem, where the soft morning light reveals lush and colorful landscapes, and where nightfall brings with it mystical sounds open to interpretation, far from civilization, in the midst of untamed life and human silence, embark on an exclusive cruise through the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
Sailing along the Rio Negro will provide a unique opportunity to observe the region's rich wildlife: brilliantly colored macaws, mischievous monkeys, caimans camouflaged among drifting logs, and even pink river dolphins playing in the dark waters, moving moments suspended in time.
The Amazon River reveals the everyday life of the inhabited part of the jungle, with vibrant scenes unfolding along the banks: stilted villages, floating markets, and freshwater archipelagos glide past. Encounters with local communities will be thoughtfully arranged, ensuring mutual respect and offering deeply emotional and meaningful exchanges.
With nearly 40,000 plant species and hundreds of thousands of animal species, the Amazon is home to an unparalleled wealth of flora and fauna. This intimate cruise through the rainforest will leave you with unforgettable memories etched deep within.
Itinerário dia a dia
- Boarding. Departure for a guided tour of Manaus, the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. A peaceful city with unique architecture, you'll explore its historic center and pass by the famous Amazonas Opera House. You'll stroll through the Adolpho Lisboa Market, a striking wrought-iron structure located on the banks of the Rio Negro. This iconic spot is one of the city’s most vibrant and colorful places, filled with the scents of spices, freshly caught fish, and exotic tropical fruits with curious shapes. The market also offers traditional remedies, local handicrafts, and ingredients typical of Amazonian cuisine. You'll then visit the Manaus Opera House, or Teatro Amazonas, a Renaissance-style architectural masterpiece inaugurated in 1896. It is adorned with European materials, such as Carrara marble, Murano glass chandeliers, and even glazed tiles from Alsace. A short cruise will bring you to Vila Paraiso, where you’ll visit the Rubber Museum. This site retraces the rise and fall of the rubber industry in the Amazon through objects, documents, and reconstructions. A faithful recreation of a 19th-century rubber plantation immerses visitors in the daily life of the seringueiros (latex collectors) and the rich cultural heritage of the time. We’ll return on board and begin cruising on the Rio Negro, a major South American river stretching 2,250 km and one of the main tributaries of the Amazon. We’ll introduce our crew at a welcome cocktail. Dinner and overnight onboard your ship.
