Day 1 – Transfer from your hotel in Manaus about 08:30am; we will then go 80kms by road to the small Village of Rio Preto da Eva where a motorized canoe will take us to the Malocas Jungle Lodge. On arrival at the Lodge we will be received by local management who will show us our accommodation. Lunch. After lunch, we will canoe through the Igarapés to visit some “caboclos” (native Amazonian people) who still live in similar conditions to their Indian ancestors. On our return we will fish piranhas and at night, go for alligator spotting.

Day 2 – We’ll paddle through the Igapós (flooded jungle area) in small canoes. After breakfast we will go for a jungle trek where the guide will explain the various uses of the plants including those with medicinal properties. On the way we will visit one of the many waterfalls where we also can take a swim. Lunch. Paddling with canoes through the Igapós and Igarapés. Swimming in the river (optional). After diner, sit around the lodge’s campfire, and appreciate the tranquility of the night.

DAY 3 – After breakfast we will go for a real jungle adventure - overnight in the jungle. We will experience one jungle trek into the jungle, which partly is done by canoe. We will practice and learn to live like the Indians, build an improvised shelter and cook on a campfire, sleeping in hammocks slung between the trees. Here we will learn how to survive in the jungle, find drinking water, food, natural kerosene for the light, medicine plants and how to make fire. NOTE: The shelter will protect us from rain (in case) and we will take mosquito net, flash light, first aid kit, and some food as well with us during this adventure – all according to the participants safety.

DAY 4 – After the “jungle breakfast” we will trek back to the Lodge and have lunch, and after that we return to Vila do Rio Preto da Eva in motorized canoes, then 80kms by road back to Manaus Airport or hotel. NOTE: This program, to overnight in the jungle, can be extended for more nights. Two nights in the jungle increase our possibilities to observe the wildlife, as most animals in the jungle are more active at night.
