Amazon Experience: Indigenous culture and nature phenomenon

Discover the Meeting of the Waters and indigenous culture on this tour from Manaus. Visit the floating platform to see the porpoises and maybe even swim with them. Then, enjoy a tasty regional lunch.
Embark on a full-day tour from Manaus to see the Meeting of the Waters, the Amazon's famous Victoria regia water lilies, and the indigenous community of the upper Negro River. Swim with porpoises, see the floating houses of Catalan, and enjoy a regional lunch.

After being picked up from your hotel, head to the Port of Manaus to board a speedboat. Navigate up the Negro River towards the floating platform, crossing the Jornalista Phelippe Daou Bridge, better known as the Rio Negro Bridge.

Upon arriving at the floating platform, observe the docile porpoises being fed by a native. Sometimes you are allowed to swim with the porpoises, but this is not guaranteed. Make sure to pack a bathing suit to be prepared if the opportunity arises.

Continue to the indigenous community where the Indians from the upper Negro River and different ethnic groups come together to share their dances and culture. As guests of honor, tourists are invited to participate in a presentation ritual accompanied by a lot of joy and dance.

After that brief moment, time will be available for photographs and purchases of local crafts. Enjoy the peace and energy to interact with the natives and live this unique moment intensely.

Descend on the left bank of the Negro River, seeing the floating port of Manaus, regional boats, and passing the edge of the city towards the Ecological Park Janauary to see the Amazon’s famous Victoria regia (water lilies) water plant.

Have a regional lunch (menu based of fish, meat or chicken, salads and accompaniments, self-service buffet). Then visit local native craft stores and the community of floating houses of Catalan for the contemplation of the Pirarucu (Arapaima Gigas), the sweet water giant, native of the Amazon.

Cruise down the Rio Negro to the Meeting of the Waters, the location where it meets the Amazon River. Be awed by this natural phenomenon, where the Rio Negro’s black waters and the Amazon’s muddy waters flow separately for a few miles.

After contemplating it, return to the Pier, where the air-conditioned transportation will take you back to your hotel.
