“Because in the Amazon, sailing is necessary”

ANAVILHANAS
4 days/ 03 nights

 

Introduction:
With a wide range of exposure to native culture and wildlife attractions, this tour offers climbing the giant trees, swimming with the pink dolphins, visiting the Tuiuka Indians and navigation through black and muddy water ecosystems from Rio Solimões for the Anavilhanas National Park, passing the Anavilhanas Archipelago, Rio Negro. At its most distant point, we will know the Jau River, where the largest freshwater forest park in the world still guards enigmas to be revealed. Because its relatively complicated access, its paths, waterfalls, and creeks are not heavily explored by tourists. Monkeys, sloths, dolphins, lowland pacas and birds can be observed on jungle nights, or in the river, close to sunset time. During the dry season, the giant otters are the attraction. Riverside communities with genuine northern Brazilian culture, give the human touch to a region where nature still runs the show. The park’s water system is composed by 3 big rivers (Unini River on the north, Carabinani by the south and Jaú on the center) and an infinity of small streams of dark water. These rivers present a high water volume variation during the year. The forests found on the banks of the rivers are called Igapó Forests and are flooded for a period of 6-8 months during the year. The dry forests are known as Firm Land Forests. This is the typical humid tropical forest, with trees that reach over 35 meters high, like the Samaúma. Its diversity represents 200 species per hectare.

Peculiarities of the Region:
At the lower Rio Negro, is a region blessed by nature and protected by ICMBio. Behaving National Parks, State, Extractive Reserves and Sustainable Development Reserves. Unlike other regions of the Amazon, the Rio Negro has almost no mosquitoes due to the natural insecticide found in its waters. Furthermore, this is the Amazon’s most wild and preserved
portion.

Recommended
For those who want to experience a little of everything.

JAÚ FOREST PARK
5 days/ 04 nights
Includes Novo Airão and Anavilhanas Archipelago.

Introduction
The largest freshwater forest park in the world still guards enigmas to be revealed. Because it has relatively complicated access, its paths, waterfalls, and creeks are not heavily explored by tourists. Monkeys, sloths, dolphins, pacas and birds can be observed on jungle nights, or in the river, close to sunset time. Riverside communities with genuine northern Brazilian charm, give the human touch to a region where nature still runs the show.

Peculiarities of the Region
The Parks’ aquatic system is composed of three major rivers (Unini to the north, Carabinani to the south and Jau at the center) and an infinity of small black water rivers. The water level varies drastically during the year. The forests found at the margins of the rivers are called Igapó forests, and are subject to periods of 6 to 8 months of flooding during the year. This type of forest is tropical and humid, with trees that can reach up to 35 meters high, like the Samaúma.

In this very diverse climate there can be up to 200 species per hectare. The Park is in the municipality of Novo Airão, where our expedition stops for a day. Jau National Park was created in 1980, and the difference it made for the wildlife in the region is very clear in comparison with non-protection areas min the Amazon. In 2003, Jau National Park was nominated by UNESCO as a “Natural World Heritage Site.”

For those who have a short amount of time but also seek a more complete experience.

JAUAPERI-XIXUAÚ
8 days/ 07 nights
. Includes Novo Airao, Anavilhanas and Jau National Park.

Introduction
If the Amazon has a heart, we can say it is in the Jauaperi River. In its upper course, at Xixuaú Reserve, we observe rare animals and exuberant vegetation and are sure to be surprised on every curve of its streams.

Peculiarities of the Region
Despite the beaches that arise during the dry season and villages with beautiful handicrafts, the Jauaperi river is home to some of the most beautiful species of Amazon wildlife – otters, manatees, storks, quatipurus, arboreal monkeys, huge black alligators, red toucans, spotted eagle and the scandalous multi-colored macaws. The animals are what compose the dream-like visual of this unusual ecological sanctuary where the local residents decided to preserve with ecotourism principles. If your greatest desire is to contemplate the wildlife, then this is your itinerary. The area is about 500 km from Manaus, located in the state of Roraima, along the border of the native territory Waimiri-Atroari. Sailing on rivers with crystalline water, we can observe manatees in an informal natural tranquility and appreciate Guariba Monkeys singing in their impressive guttural voices. There, it is prohibited to use motor boats. Therefore the silence which is respected by the humans, allows nature to remain wild. Its generous bio-diversity is the result of two factors: geomorphologic rich soil with absence of poaching. Some difficult species to be observed in the Rio Negro basin, such as storks and Cuxius apes, are commonly seen in the area.
