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.
The largest wetland in the World, the Pantanal is one of the last major untouched nature reserves on the face of the earth. The wildlife is amazingly abundant here, and its seasonally flooded plains attract immense quantities of birds and caimans, and is also one of the most mammal rich areas of South America.
A birding trip that combines the abundant and diverse avifauna of the Pantanal with rare and range-restricted Cerrado species at Chapada dos Guimarães National Park.
Chapada dos Guimarães National Park sits atop the Brazilian Central Plateau, on a very scenic area comprising cerrado scrubland bordered by huge sandstone cliffs and lush gallery forest.
Emas National Park is one of the largest protected areas of campo-cerrado habitat, which comprises a vast mosaic of open savannas and scrublands.
The Cristalino Jungle Lodge is an avian paradise that has everything that makes Neotropical rainforest birding exciting: mixed-species flocks moving fast through the canopy and understory.
Located in the heart of a vast mountain range, Itatiaia National Park is the first Brazilian national park and one of the most famous birding spots in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest.
The largest wetland in the World, the Pantanal is one of the last major untouched nature reserves on the face of the earth, and a land of superlatives.

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.
This expedition takes place at the Parnaiba Headwaters National Park, a region of a particular scenic beauty where the vegetation is comprised by Cerrado scrublands and gallery forest.
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.
Iguaçu 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.
