a local village and get the opportunity to understand a bit more
about the Amazonian culture.

boat, to Anavilhanas Archipelago - the biggest fluvial
archipelago of the world - and be able to admire the amazing
fauna and flora. Continuing on, there will be a tour through the
islands, with a stop to visit an isolated and traditional
community (Baniwas, Tukanos and Barés tribes), where we will be
able to get to know a bit more about their culture and do a
jungle trek with a villager as a forester, getting knowledge
about their food, natural medicines, etc. We’ll stop at a local
beach for lunch and experience a wonderful barbecue. Depending
on the season, there will be a visit to Arara waterfalls. After
that, we will navigate to a town called Novo Airão, which is the
very first city of low Rio Negro. There’ll be an overnight stay
in a "pousada" - local lodge.
5th Day
– After breakfast, we will visit the main attractions of Novo,
Airão, which are: the floating dock from where we can see the
domesticated "botos" (freshwater dolphins) playing with people;
the serpentary which is managed by a biologist; the handicraft
centre maintained by an NGO; the dockyard in which many famous
local-type-boats are made, by making use of itaúba and
piquiá-roxo, that are more resistant types of wood. People that
work at that dockyard are local people that got all the
knowledge of building boats from their ancestral family. After
lunch, which will be at the "pousada", we will return to "Acajatuba
Jungle Lodge", will have dinner and sleep, resting after a very
busy day.
6th Day
- After breakfast, visit to a "Sumaumeira", the biggest tree in
