The "Brazilian Amazon By Boat" trip starts in Belém and ends in Rio de Janeiro. It is a wildlife tour that takes 14 days taking you through Vale Do Paraiso, Belém, Monte Alegre and 5 other destinations in Brazil. "Brazilian Amazon By Boat" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

This unique trip is dedicated solely to discovering the rich ecosystem of the Amazon, journeying between the cities of Belem and Manaus by a variety of boat. We sail along the unimaginably wide Amazon River, as well as down tributaries along the Rio Negro. Don't expect high comfort levels - this is a trip for an active traveller who is prepared for heat, humidity and simple accommodation with the aim of experiencing something extraordinary.

Stargazing - Relax in a hammock on deck, beneath a sea of shimmering stars

FLONA Reserve - Walk on forest trails, visit the Jamaraqua community and learn about the history of rubber in the Amazon

Rio Negro - Sail around tiny islands, visit a caboclo community and find floating Victoria Regia waterlillies on this offshoot of the Amazon River
