Day 3, 4 and 5
Day 3
Today we will make three tours
Sunrise tour – Early departure, around 5:30 in motorized canoes with guides to admire the Amazonian sunrise. It is a great experience to hear all the sounds in the morning and see the sun rise over the tree tops. See literally thousands of birds leave their nests in the early morning. After that we return to the lodge for breakfast.
Rainforest Trekking tour/ Jungle walk – We leave in motorised canoes with guides until reaching an appropriate area to enter into the rainforest. Our guide will take you for a walk through the rainforest, explaining as much as possible regarding about the flora and fauna, giving strong emphasis in our biodiversity and the Amazon rainforest ecosystem. He will also show medicinal plants and how the Indians used to to cure diseases.
Piranha tour – In the afternoon we will go fishing piranha – the legendary fish with lots of small sharp teeth. There are lots of fish in the Juma river. Species like tucunaré (peacock bass), pirarucu (Hugh arapaima) and tambaqui are hard to catch. There are five kind of piranha fishes in the area. Piranha is said to be the easiest fish to catch. You only need a hook and some meet. When you put the hook in the water you will soon feel the piranha eating your bait. It is great sitting in a boat in the Amazon jungle watching the wildlife and listening to all the sounds. Our guide will show you how to prepare and roast your catch so you can taste at the evening dinner.
Day 4
We will leave after breakfast and stay the whole day in the marvelous rainforest. We leave in motorized canoes and make interesting stops at various places and we will also visit the Mamori river. We will also visit a different bioversity of the lowland rainforest, most known as Varsea – areas close to the river that are flooded in the raining season. If you are interested, we can try to catch our own fish and then cock it over open fire, or if you prefer, we bring our own lunch and eat it on the river bank. Or if you prefer, we can have a lunch at a local family. It is also possible to visit a local school
Lunch will be on the river shore or at a family home according to your desire.
We continue the boat ride in the afternoon, and we will be back at the lodge for dinner.
Day 5
After breakfast, we return back to Manaus. The same interesting way back to Manaus as going to the lodge. Drop off at the airport or at a hotel in the city.
