Amazon River
Amazon Riveroriginates in the Andes of Peru, flows from west to east across the South American continent, and then empties into the Atlantic Ocean in northeastern Brazil. Its main stream flows through Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, with most of its course located within Brazil. Its basin covers several countries in South America and features numerous tributaries. It is a river with a large discharge and a vast basin area. Along the river, there are vast rainforest views, the waters are expansive, and the river views are distinctive. Visitors can take a boat tour to enjoy the rainforest scenery on both banks up close, observe diverse wildlife, experience the unique natural landscape of this waterway, and enjoy the pristine ecological scenery of South America.Manacapuru · 3.8km from downtown
Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon Rainforest stretches across the South American continent, spanning multiple countries including Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, and is the world's most vast tropical rainforest. It is home to an extremely rich variety of species; from jaguars, pink river dolphins, and macaws to giant otters, countless animals thrive between the dense forests and rivers. Upon arriving in the rainforest, one of the signature experiences is seeing the meeting of waters—the dark Rio Negro and the yellowish-brown Solimões River flow side-by-side here for several km without mixing, forming a distinct natural view. Taking a boat to the confluence, you can also encounter wild pink river dolphins on the river; these freshwater dolphins often curiously approach boats. The rainforest waters are also home to the Amazon water lily, whose massive, circular leaves can support the weight of a child. Venturing deep into the interior, you can paddle a canoe through the waterways of the Anavilhanas Archipelago to explore the flooded forest view; you can also hike through the jungle to identify various tropical plants and listen to the calls of birds and insects. At night, taking a small boat to look for the reflective eyes of caimans or fishing for piranhas are unique wild experiences in the rainforest. Visiting residents along the river to learn about their lifestyles and traditions of coexisting with the forest adds cultural depth to this nature trip.Brazil · Codajas
Meeting of Waters
Meeting of Waters lies 10 kilometers downstream from Manaus, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro meet the pale, yellowish Solimões River; only after merging do they officially form the main stem of the Amazon River. This stretch of water has become a popular attraction in the vicinity of Manaus. Viewed from downstream, the contrast is striking: the murky yellow Solimões on the left and the inky black Rio Negro on the right remain distinct, separated by a clear line that cleaves the broad expanse of water in two—like a watery fissure dividing two separate worlds. With a temperature difference of several degrees Celsius between the two rivers, navigating the area offers a vivid, firsthand experience of the contrasting conditions, serving as a compelling natural lesson in understanding the Amazon river system.Careiro da Varzea · 82.5km from Manacapuru

Port of Manaus
Located on the banks of the Rio Negro, the Port of Manaus is an iconic gateway into the Amazon rainforest's network of rivers. Arriving here, one is immediately struck by the bustling atmosphere of the port: boats of all kinds depart from here, and the river, vegetation, and colorful rooftops of buildings intertwine to create a scene both wild and vibrant. The bustling area surrounding the port is where local life and commerce converge. Visitors can see fishing boats, cargo ships, and cruise ships docked along the river, and experience the unique rhythm of Amazonian water traffic. From the port, visitors can embark on river cruises, taking a boat to the "Confluence of Waters" (the confluence of the Rio Negro and Solimões rivers) to witness the wondrous spectacle of the two rivers running side by side without blending. Nearby markets, such as Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, are great places to experience local market culture, sample tropical fruits, and purchase handicrafts.Manaus · 69.4km from Manacapuru

Arrange tourists to explore the Iquitos rainforest. There is a kind of tourists called "disconnected and high". There are 10,000 questions before departure, and they lost contact after departure... It has been confirmed that they had a high time in the rainforest! They also saw beautiful pink dolphins up close! You are lucky ⚠️Remind tourists going to the Amazon rainforest that there is usually only a signal in the hotel lobby, and the hotel goes deep into the rainforest to supply power. The mobile network devices you carry with you are not very useful! Then enjoy this short vacation time! Say goodbye to the Internet and return to nature. It is recommended that three days and two nights in the Amazon are enough (a few more days is also to visit different tributaries, but it does not necessarily mean that you can see more animals if you play for a few more days. It is better to come at the right time than to come for a long time. This is the ecological charm of Amazon's nature.) We will arrange tourists to participate in the project led by professional Amazon tour guides to cruise to see animals, spiders, caimans, snakes, sloths, and various birds. Night hiking, fishing for piranhas and other personal experience activities in nature!
