Mighty Amazon – An Exploratory River Cruise
“An amazing experience where everything is superlative”

There is nothing like the Amazon on planet earth. It is the largest tract of continuous forest on the planet, covering nearly half of Brazil and a good portion of adjacent countries. The Amazon river is by far the largest, as well as the longest river on earth.

This amazing region holds the largest biodiversity on the planet and so many mysteries yet to be discovered. Although most travelers will barely scratch a tiny portion of it, being in the Amazon forest is always a superlative experience, independently of where you go and what you are looking for.

Witnessing such a huge and mighty river, listening to the sounds of the forest, and encountering the amazing creatures that live here, are all remarkable experiences that touch deep in our souls.

On this trip we will have a comfortable boat as a base, from which we will explorer the big rivers, small tributaries, lagoons and also forest trails, and get to see many of the Amazon inhabitants, such as hundreds of bird species, several species of monkeys and sloths, river dolphins, and indigenous tribes. We will also spend some time in Terra Firma, at the Tropical Hotel in Manaus, which will offer participants the chance of finding some different creatures such as the endemic Pied Tamarin, and also a rest from the long days in the field.

The largest wetland in the World, the Pantanal is one of the last major untouched nature reserves on the face of the earth.

Few places on Earth still hold the magic aura found at Mamirauá Reserve. Brazil’s first “Sustainable Development Reserve”, Mamirauá is a huge reserve along the upper Amazon (Solimões) river.

Iguassu Falls can be described as the largest waterfall system in the World. But this is a very simplistic explanation. These falls are way beyond that, and way beyond what words can describe.

There is no other city in the world such as Rio de Janeiro. Despite being the second largest city in Brazil, Rio has a nice and relaxed atmosphere, which is perhaps the reason it is famous as the Wonderful City.
