Detailed itinerary

On the first part of our tour will be visiting a project that takes care of the pink river dolphins where you'll be able to enter the water to enjoy the company of these amazing docile creatures and take nice pictures of this unforgettable moment, the dolphins are free and only come to this place because the locals are friendly and already became part of their family.

We will visit a lovely indigenous tribe that moved from the border with Colombia looking for a better quality of life closer to Manaus but still far enough to keep their traditions.
They love to share their culture and history while demonstrating their dances and rituals with real musical instruments made with materials from the nature around us.

We'll enjoy the rest of our half day on a beautiful, white sand and warm water of the Negro River side until the moment to return to your hotel after this refreshing time.
