Push off from Manaus for six days of canoes, jungle camping and riverside culture. This itinerary blends lodge stays and hammock nights, guided paddles and nocturnal wildlife spotting deep in the Amazon basin.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Manaus at dawn and the city’s heat peels back into a wide, humid silence. Rivers fan out like arteries; the meeting of the waters — dark Rio Negro and sandy Rio Solimões — marks the first horizon. Over six days you move deeper: motorized canoes, paddles, and hikes that leave civilization behind until only insect chorus and river wind remain.

Conservation
