More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The river’s surface gleams like a moving map as your speedboat slips away from Manaus and into a world measured in oxbows, islands and canopy. Early on the first morning you pass the colonial façade of the Amazonas Theatre, then soon trade city streets for a corridor of ironwood and ceiba where calls of howler monkeys punctuate the humidity.

Hydration and heat management
