Live among the trees, fish the rivers, and spend a night under the jungle canopy.
This Amazon jungle adventure tour takes you deep into the Brazilian rainforest over four immersive days, departing by speedboat from Manaus and ending with a true overnight camping experience in the wild.
From piranha fishing in winding creeks to guided walks through towering old-growth forest, each day reveals a different layer of Amazonian life. Bilingual guides accompany the group at every stage, sharing knowledge of medicinal plants, local farming traditions, and the ecosystems that make the Amazon one of the most biodiverse places on earth.
A visit to a Caboclo community offers rare insight into the people who have called this region home for generations. On night three, guests who choose the jungle camping option will sleep in hammocks surrounded by the sounds of howler monkeys and nocturnal wildlife, an experience that few itineraries outside of this region can replicate.

This tour operates out of Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state in northwestern Brazil, widely regarded as the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. The lodge is situated approximately 75 km from the city along the Rio Negro, one of the Amazon basin's largest tributaries and the world's largest blackwater river. The surrounding region falls within the Amazon biome, which hosts an estimated 10% of all species on earth. Seasonal flooding patterns influence which waterways are accessible by canoe, meaning the experience varies slightly between wet and dry seasons. The area around Manaus is home to several indigenous and Caboclo communities who maintain traditional relationships with the forest.
