Malocas

DAY 1 – We pick you up in your hostel at 08:30am to the Rio Preto village (80kms by road). There we visit the municipal market before leaving in a motorized canoe to the Malocas Jungle Lodge. On arrival at the Lodge we will be received by local management who will show you your accommodation.

Lunch at around 13H30: regional food made of delicious Amazonian fishes.

After lunch, we will be taken by canoe through the Igarapés to visit one of our Caboclos neighbors who still live in similar conditions to their Indian ancestors. Progressively, you will learn how to survive in the jungle thanks to useful plants (to eat, to take care of yourself, to build a shelter).

Dinner at around 19h30.

Then you will leave the lodge with your guide to “hunt” the alligators.

 

DAY 2 – After breakfast you will go on a jungle trek. Discovery of a new eco-system and bath in one the waterfalls that surround the Malocas. After lunch, you could rest a bit before leaving for a new trek in the deep jungle. Go back to the lodge to fish piranhas. If you are successful you could taste them for dinner…

After dinner, Caboclos stories around the fire.

 

DAY 3 – Birds observation at sunrise. After breakfast you will go on a second jungle trek (different eco system) ending at another waterfall where you could freshen up before returning.

After lunch, you could rest, swim and fish.(or go  for a night in the  forest )

Dinner and fire camp.

 

DAY 4- You will leave the Malocas after lunch with your guide for a survival night. Eventually you could use your new knowledge about living in the jungle. You will build your shelter and spend an unforgettable night in your hammock, close to the fire, cradled by the numerous jungle noises.

 

DAY 5- After breakfast you will trek back to the lodge for lunch. After lunch, you will leave the Malocas jungle lodge with a motorized canoe, going down the river to the Amazon River.
Dinner and night on a beach or a caboclos house.

 

DAY 6- Discovery of the special fauna and flora of this area (white water area), fishing. After lunch, we'll take a regional boat going up the Amazon River heading to the meeting of the water and Manaus. Dinner onboard.

DAY 7 - Arrival in the Manaus harbor at around 6 am, right in time to visit the incredible fruits and fishes markets… we'll perhaps go  back to the meeting of the waters and our program will finish around noon. 

Observation

Your guide can switch the order of the activities depending on the weather conditions and also on your physical shape. We guarantee you that every activity will be done though.
