Upon arrival, we will pack all your luggage and supplies into inflatable boats and kayaks. After a brief technical orientation, we’ll begin the river descent, which lasts approximately 2 hours, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the rainforest.

 

Once we arrive at the base camp, you’ll be welcomed with an orientation and a presentation of the facilities. In the evening, enjoy a well-deserved dinner at the camp, followed by a night walk through the jungle at 8:00 PM, where you’ll have the chance to discover the Amazon’s nocturnal wildlife.
