Day 1: Start of the tour at Negro River
The tour starts at 8.00 a.m. when you are taken by car from the hotel to the Ceasa Port on the right bank of the Negro River about 20 kilometers from Manaus. From there a speedboat takes you to the meeting of the waters (the point where the Negro River and the Solimões River meet).
On the other side of the river, you will arrive at the village of Careiro. From there, a car or van will take you to the Paraná do Mamori River. Another one-hour trip by speedboat will take you to the lodge. Arrive at around 11:30 a.m. Lunch is served at 12:30 p.m. and the afternoon activity starts at 2:30 p.m.
The activity is a canoe trip to watch dolphins, birds, and the sunset at about 6:30 p.m. Dinner is served at 7:00 p.m. and then at about 8:30 p.m. caiman spotting activity. Everyone will leave the canoe and your guide will literally snatch a caiman out of the water and explains about the reptile which is then returned to its habitat.
