Arrive in Manaus, the gateway to the world’s largest rainforest, where Brazil’s vibrant culture and breathtaking natural beauty converge. This city, set in the heart of the vast Amazonas state, is your perfect introduction to the country’s enchanting diversity — an intoxicating blend of European, African, and Indigenous influences. From its sun-kissed beaches to the depths of the lush Amazon, Brazil offers a kaleidoscope of experiences, and Manaus serves as the ideal starting point for your journey into this captivating region.

Upon arrival, your private driver will greet you and drive you to your accommodation in the center of Manaus.

Your adventure begins with a stylish welcome aboard the Untamed Amazon. Savor refreshing drinks and elegant appetizers as we set sail along the iconic Negro River. A gourmet lunch follows, crafted with Amazonian flavors and international finesse.
In the early afternoon, we visit one of the Amazon’s most famous spectacles: the Meeting of Waters, where the contrasting colors of the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimões run side by side without blending — a natural phenomenon that fascinates scientists and travelers alike.

Continuing, we venture into the Janauary Ecological Park, exploring by canoe through flooded forests rich with wildlife and colossal water lilies.

The morning unfolds with a refined breakfast served as we cruise toward history. We’ll visit the Seringal Museum, a restored rubber plantation, offering a vivid glimpse into the Amazon’s rubber boom era and the lives of the workers who shaped it.
Afterward, we navigate to the RDS Tumbira, a sustainable development reserve that balances traditional life and conservation. Here, you’ll meet community members and learn about innovative projects protecting the forest.

In the afternoon, we anchor at an idyllic river beach — a perfect moment for a leisurely swim in the Negro’s dark, warm waters.

Wake early to witness a captivating Amazon sunrise, where mist and light transform the jungle into a dreamscape. After breakfast, we embark on a trek through a riverside community’s trails, discovering medicinal plants, local wildlife, and the intricate relationship between people and the forest.

Following lunch, prepare for an extraordinary canoe expedition along the Aruau River. Paddle quietly through secluded channels, spotting monkeys, caimans, and exotic birds, fully immersed in the untouched wilderness.

After breakfast, your morning is crowned by a heartwarming encounter with the Amazon’s pink river dolphins, icons of local myth and beauty.

Next, we visit the Tuyuka indigenous community, where you will experience ancient cultural traditions and hear stories passed down through generations. It’s a rich and inspiring exchange, connecting you deeply with the living soul of the Amazon.

Returning aboard, we enjoy a final lunch before our navigation back to Manaus, where your elegant journey concludes, leaving you with memories etched in the spirit of the rainforest.
