Voyage to the Heart of the Amazon is the most thorough, detailed,
and sophisticated trip offered in the entire Amazon.Our guides
are accomplished naturalists and we see creatures almost never
seen by other visitors. The trip is rather like being on a time
machine in that we are able to visit places that have not changed
for millions of years. Truly the trip of a lifetime.
 Itinerary
Days 1-3 In our well equipped expedition boat The Motor Yacht Tucano,
we explore far up the least inhabited river in the Amazon, The
Rio Negro. We explore the forest by foot or in our launches,
go for swims in the cleanest water in the world, visit with local
settlers that live deep in the forest, and spend a great deal
of time hunting for and observing the greatest collection of
wildlife on earth.
Day
4 We arrive at extraordinary river called
the Rio Jauaperi and spend the day in this unspoiled and lovely
rainforest area.
Days
5 Today we proceed down the southwestern
bank of the Rio Negro observing the different wildlife found
on this side of the river. Our walks and explorations of the
forest continue and our list of creatures observed gets larger
and larger.
Day
6 Today we visit the
village of Novo Airão. We will walk through the streets
and marvel at how the 19th Century thrives in this remote corner
of the globe. We travel through the night to the confluence of
the Amazon and Negro Rivers.
Day
7 This morning we visit
the Lago Janauari Ecological Park where the thick brown water
of the Amazon flows swiftly through the forest. This area is
thick with life and we are almost guaranteed to see monkeys.
We then travel to the Encontra das Aguas the stark
several mile long line where the worlds two largest rivers,
the Amazon and the Negro, join in a turbulent maelstrom. In the
evening we will return to Manaus and overnight on the boat.
Day
8 After breakfast passengers
will disembark from the Tucano and in the afternoon or evening,
transfer to the international airport.
