Arrival in Manaus (Amazon)

Your Amazon adventure starts today! Meet your transfer to the airport for your flight from Salvador de Bahia to Manaus, a jungle settlement in the heart of the lush Amazon jungle.

Upon arrival, a Latin America For Less representative will meet you and transfer you to your confirmed jungle lodge. Once there, you’ll have time to settle in and relax before beginning your first rainforest activities.

Activities vary depending on your lodge selection but may include a visit to a monkey rehabilitation center or a canoe excursion to a nearby Amazonian village.

Return to the lodge for dinner and a relaxing evening. Depending on your lodge and itinerary, you may also have the opportunity to join a nighttime excursion in search of caiman and other wildlife.

Amazon Jungle Activities

After breakfast at the lodge, you’ll begin your second day of Amazon exploration. While itineraries may vary, your morning may begin with a nature hike led by an expert guide. As you walk through the rainforest, you’ll learn about the fascinating plants, wildlife, and ecosystems that make the Amazon their home.

After lunch, set out on a piranha fishing excursion along one of the many tributaries of the Amazon River. Try your hand at catching these famous fish while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the jungle.

You’ll return to the lodge for dinner and a relaxing evening, surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest.

Last day Amazon Jungle Activities

Today, continue exploring the rainforest and its incredible natural wonders. Depending on conditions, you may visit natural pools along the riverbank for a refreshing swim in the warm waters or visit a local fishing community to learn how residents make their living in the heart of the Amazon.

After lunch and some time to relax, head back into the jungle with your guide to explore its fascinating flora and fauna.

Return to the lodge for your final dinner and evening in the Amazon.

Departure from Manaus

Rise early to make the most of your final morning in the Amazon. Depending on your lodge and itinerary, you may enjoy an early morning boat excursion to the Meeting of the Waters, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro meet the muddy brown waters of the Rio Solimões. The two rivers flow side by side for miles without fully mixing, creating a striking contrast of colors that is fascinating to see from the water.

After lunch, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight from Manaus to Rio de Janeiro or onward to your next destination.

Amazing Argentina and Peru!

Our Travel Advisor planned a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Argentina and Peru for us. The activities she planned were totally awesome and the service we received was impeccable. Next time we come to South America we will call on Latin America for Less again because it took all of the hard planning out of our hands and we just had to enjoy the experience.
