Your adventure begins with an 8:00 a.m. pickup from your hotel, setting off for Seasa Port. Here, a speedboat awaits to take you across the vast Amazon River, with a special stop at the breathtaking Meeting of the Waters. This natural wonder, where the dark Rio Negro meets the sandy-hued Rio Solimões without mixing, offers a perfect photo opportunity, along with insights into this rare phenomenon from the captain.
Crossing the Rio Solimões, you’ll reach Careiro da Várzea, a small town where a kombi van will transport you an hour down the BR319 highway to the Mamori area. From there, a final speedboat ride brings you deeper into the jungle, arriving at the lodge by 11:30 a.m. After settling in, you’ll enjoy a hearty lunch at noon, followed by time to explore the lodge, unwind, or swim in the Amazon River.
The afternoon adventure kicks off around 2:00 p.m. as you head out in traditional wooden canoes, gliding quietly through the water to spot Amazonian wildlife. With luck, you might catch sight of sloths, playful monkeys, and the mystical river dolphins known as botos. Later, you’ll try your hand at piranha fishing, and if you’re up for it, your catch can be prepared for dinner.
As the day closes, you’ll witness a stunning Amazonian sunset, returning to the lodge by 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m., offering a peaceful moment to reflect on the day’s discoveries. But the excitement doesn’t end there—after dinner, you’ll embark on a nighttime adventure to search for the wild caiman. With expertise and care, your guide will catch one of these ancient creatures, allowing you an up-close look before it’s released back into the water, unharmed.
Finally, you’ll return to the lodge for a well-earned rest, ready for the adventures that await the next day.
The day begins early at 5:30 a.m. with the breathtaking experience of an Amazonian sunrise, a quiet yet awe-inspiring moment as the jungle awakens. Afterward, you’ll return to the lodge for a traditional Amazonian breakfast at 7:00 a.m., fueling up for an exciting day ahead.

Returning to the lodge, you’ll enjoy a well-deserved lunch at noon and have time to prepare for the next adventure. At 2:00 p.m., you’ll head deeper into the jungle, driving 40 minutes to a remote campsite. Here, you’ll learn how to set up hammocks and secure mosquito nets, creating a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
Dinner will be a truly authentic experience, with options for vegetarians to try the edible fruits and vegetables of the jungle. For those seeking a more traditional Amazonian experience, spear-fishing will provide the night’s catch.
