  After having picked you up from your hotel we will drive for about one hour west from Manaus by car to reach the region called cachoeira do castanho. where we embark our motorized canoe (very simple canoe that we amazonian people use every day to go to work etc.) we will reach the jungle where we start a 2 and a half hour hiking, where our guide will show you many medicinal plants, teach you how we provide our shelters and many other possible things we may see along the way. P.S: We can't promise that you'll see any animal because it's nature and they are free in the wild. But we can assure you that they are there and eventually with luck we can spot them. For this part you must wear closed shoes and long pants, any type of shirts are okay. Also note that during our rainy season (October to July) there are many mosquitoes, and the terrain is muddy because of the rain.

  After lunch we take our canoe again and will head to a platform where researchers work on the pink river dolphins, These amazing creatures capture our attention for many centuries now. They are so docile and friendly and can reach almost 3 meters long and weight up to 2 hundred kilos. In this platform you will be able to come very close to these incredible water mammals and take some nice pictures. In this place you also will have a chance to enter the water. So we recommend to bring your swimming suits and also your towels to dry after you get out from the water. Eventually you may have a chance to buy some beers of coconut juice. So its also advisable to bring some cash with you.

  Now we will go for a canoeing through the region and see the beauties of the Negro river side. During our flood season (march to August) we have the phenomenon of the flooded forest, which we call here "Igapó". It's limply amazing to navigate among the trees and be marveled by such a Wonderfull landscape.

  Once we find an ideal spot we will stop for piranha fishing. It's not so hard but we can't say it's the easiest thing to catch a piranha. These creatures are by far the most dangerous fishes with razor sharp teeth can can take a finger off with just one byte (it's a wise idea to let our guides remove them from the hook) If we catch one big enough we can even bring it to prepare for dinner (trust me, they are really tasty)
