About this experience

The tour begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, whisking you away to one of northwestern Brazil's most breathtaking regions.

The scenic drive to Presidente Figueiredo (approximately 68 miles from Manaus) is an attraction in itself, winding through a lush landscape dotted with charming streams. Venture into the heart of the untouched jungle to explore the 'Gruta do Refugio do Maruaga' cave, teeming with wildlife. A shallow stream flows through its entirety, offering the chance to spot fish, amphibians, caimans, turtles, and various bat species (if you're lucky!). Located at km 7 on the Presidente Figueiredo – Balbina highway, this hidden gem requires a local guide due to its location within the dense, virgin rainforest.
With its unparalleled collection of waterfalls and rapids, Presidente Figueiredo is a natural highlight of any Manaus trip.
