7-Day Amazon Deep Survival Trip to Amanã Lake

Seven days of canoe, camp, and wilderness immersion in one of the most remote corners of the Brazilian Amazon.


This Amazon deep survival trip takes a small group beyond the tourist circuit and into the wild heart of the Amanã Lake reserve, navigating Ubim Creek and the surrounding jungle over seven full days of guided exploration.

Participants sleep in hammocks with mosquito nets, cook over open fires, and travel daily by motorized canoe through flooded forest, open river channels, and dense rainforest trails. The experience is built around observation and practical jungle skills rather than comfort or spectacle.

The route combines the Mamori River corridor with the deep-jungle camping section near Amanã Lake, giving travelers a sequence of environments that few itineraries in the region cover. Each day introduces a different type of terrain or activity, from piranha fishing and caiman spotting to sunrise hikes and wildlife tracking.

Joshua's Amazon Team provides experienced local guides who explain the ecology, medicinal plants, and survival techniques of the region. The pace is moderate, requiring reasonable fitness but no prior jungle experience.

Tour Highlights

Navigate the Amazon River to the Meeting of the Waters where the Rio Negro and the Solimoes converge in a dramatic natural display.

Camp overnight in the jungle, sleeping in hammocks with mosquito nets as local Amazonian communities have done for generations.

Spot caimans by flashlight along jungle waterways after dark on a guided night boat excursion.

Search for pink and grey river dolphins, monkeys, sloths, and hundreds of bird species in their natural habitat.

Fish for piranhas and learn about their ecology, behaviour, and role in the Amazon food chain from a local guide.

Hike through primary rainforest with survival technique demonstrations, including plant identification and jungle navigation.

Observe Arapaima Gigas, the giant of the Amazon River, at a fish farm on the Catao Channel at the start of the journey.
