The first day we will travel in our boats up the Rio Negro and set up camp where we can swim and walk in the forest. At night we'll marvel at the uncountable stars in the heavens untainted by light from the city. The second day as we plunge deeper into the forest, the igarapé will get narrower and narrower and we will begin to navigate sharp “S” shaped curves as we weave into the hills of the primitive forest |

Days 5-6 We are exploring! The plan for the next two days depends on what we've found and where we happen to be. But certainly the next days we will walk in the forest, explore along the rivers edge looking for animal tracks, listen, and observe some of the world’s most exotic birds and marvel at the fantastic creatures that inhabit the Amazon rainforest. Day 7 Today we begin downstream and camp somewhere
on the Rio Negro. Day 8 We arrive near the nutrient rich Amazon
River and we will observe a remarkably different environment.
We will be near the Amazon River itself.In the evening we hunt
for nocturnal animals like bulldog bats that feed on fish which
they pluck from the water, and caiman, close relatives of crocodiles.
There will also be a large collection of night birds to see in
our spotlights.
Day 10 Late morning transfer to the international airport for return flight to the USA. Please note that the itinerary
is subject to change without notice.

Our camping trip is an extraordinary
expedition that we offer only a few times a year. We go way beyond
the frontier of settlement into wilderness areas where there
are no houses and no people, just rainforest as wild and beautiful
as it was before the first humans arrived on the continent of
South America.
Day 2 Early
morning we pack the boats and embark on the Rio Negro, bound
for a small tributary into the heart of the forest. We go as
far as we can before sunset, set up our tents and enjoy the night
sounds in the rainforest.
Day 4 Today
we should reach the fall line where (with luck) we will camp
near a splendid waterfall. We continue to hunt for plants and
animals on foot and in our launches.
Day 9 This morning
very early we will explore Lago Janauari Ecological Park, a large
park at the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Amazon River.
We will observe the bizarre wildlife of this wildlife rich area.
We will visit the "Encontra das Aguas" the place where
the Amazon River and the Rio Negro and observe the giant plumes
of café au lait water and whirlpools as large as basketball
courts spin along the dividing line between these two oceans
of water. In the late afternoon we return to Manaus transfer
to the hotel and relax.
