Full Itinerary

This is our flagship Mamirauá experience: two nights staying in a secure community lodge, with hammock/ bed accommodation, regional meals, guided forest and river activities, and the chance to see some of the Amazon’s most iconic wildlife.

This is Alencar

Safety and responsible travel
Adventure With Safety and Respect
The Amazon is wild, beautiful and powerful. Our itineraries are designed to give you an authentic adventure while respecting the forest, wildlife and local communities.

Our approach:

Local guides lead all activities
Night wildlife viewing is done by boat or canoe
Night forest walks are avoided because of jaguars and snakes
Hammocks are provided inside the lodge, not in open forest
Wildlife is observed respectfully and without disturbance
Community tourism supports local people and conservation
