The tour starts at 15 p.m. We travel by regional boat to Maues (267km from Manaus). We will pass the Meeting of the Waters and observe some pink dolphins.

After arrival at 11 a.m. in Maues we will meet our native guide.

During the transfer to our jungle base (6 hours) we will stop at native communities to take some jungle fruits and fish piranhas in the Parana River. Late afternoon we will arrive at our base at the Igarape Acu. After dinner we will go for aligator spotting.
03 Day
Before breakfast we go for sunrise canoeing in the beautiful igapo (flooded jungle area) to spot exotic birds and monkeys. After breakfast we will explore the virgin jungle watching sloths. The native guide will show us how to survive in the jungle (fruits, hunting techniques, jungle camping, medical plants, obtaining fresh water). In the afternoon we will visit the native village Sao Tome and its chacras (Manioc and Guarana plantation). The natives will prepare for us the traditional Sapko (Guarana) drink.

The natives will prepare a dinner with exotic food and also share their traditional Sapko (Guarana) drink with us. In the night the native guide will take us for fishing with harpon. Before sleeping we start the great Ayahuasca Ritual

to a sidearm of the Igarape Limao, where we will learn how to prepare the Asai jungle wine and to find medical plants in the jungle. A small jungle trek brings us to three huge samuaua trees. Depending on the water level of the igarape, we will either continue in motorized canoe or by jungle trekking (2 hours) to the Vera Cruz beach. Lunch and relaxing on the sandy river beaches until our transfer guide brings us back to Maues, where the regional boat to Manaus is leaving at 18 hs.
