- After breakfast (0900 hrs) we depart from the floating port in our boat, a classic Amazon Riverboat, fully outfitted with food, drink, and crew. From Manaus we travel an hour to the stunning meeting of the waters where the Negro River flows into the mighty Amazon River but the two do not mix due to differences in velocity, density, and temperature. At the “meeting of the waters” we often see grey and pink river dolphins.
- Second stop is Lake Janauari, a vast area of floodplain (varzea) receiving water from both the Amazon and Negro rivers. We will visit a restaurant run by local "caboclo" river people and walk through the treetops on a walkway to view giant Amazon waterlilies in a quiet lagoon. Here we might also see monkeys, hawks, alligators, iguanas and morpho butterflies. After lunch in the boat, we will travel 3 hours up the Negro River to the Arara River, the first of the Anavilhanas Islands, and our family- run jungle lodge. Overnight at the lodge.
- DAY 03–07
- On daily excursions from the lodge we will go for long treks deep into the jungle to study medicine plants. We will go canoeing on the Jaraqui and Ariau Rivers- small rivers (igarapes) near Tania’s home and on the opposite side of the Negro River across “Anaconda Bay”. At night we will search for tarantulas, bats, alligators, night birds and other creatures. We will visit the first islands of the vast Anavilanhas Archipelago, the largest group of freshwater islands in the world and now a national park. In the dry season we will go walking and canoeing amidst the islands to see monkeys, toucans, iguanas, and dolphins. In the rainy season we will explore the flooded forest (igapo), and the unique treetop world hidden above the flooded islands. Nightly accommodation at the lodge with an optional night in a rainforest camp.
