More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned van and the rainforest closes around you—humid, green, and alive. The first day walks you under a canopy that filters bright Amazon light into green shadows, toward Maroaga and Judeia caves where water has carved chambers and slow streams reflect stalactites. At Mutum and Pedra Furada, rock faces part to reveal clear plunge pools; the water dares you to dive in.
