An authentic Kosher experience into the heart of the Amazon rainforest In Brazil
From 12 to 15 December 2022
The experience
We offer a wide variety of activities and tours. The schedule is designed to experience the Amazon, with safety, comfort, and adventure.
Meeting of the Waters
This is the confluence between the dark (blackwater) Rio Negro and the pale sandy-colored (whitewater) Amazon River. The two rivers' waters run side by side without much mixing.
Swimming with pink river dolphins
This is one of the few spots on the planet where you may swim with pink river dolphins in their natural habitat in peace. The pink river dolphin is found only in the Amazon region. These very clever dolphins feed primarily on fish and shellfish and live in groups of up to 15 animals.
Sunrise Contemplation
Leaving at dawn, the guests will be taken to the islands to watch the birds flying and the beauty of all the colors when the sun rises in the Amazon sky
Recreational Piranha Fishing
Enjoy the amazing scenery and catch some fish during this fun activity done in wooden canoes along the igarapés.
Visit of Indigenous community with presentation of tribal dances
The Amazon rainforest is still home to a number of tribes who are known for their great hunting skills and their extensive knowledge of the plants. You experience a traditional ritual and view how a tribe lives in the rainforest.
Hiking on Dryland Forest
Led by experienced local guides, explore areas that are not affected by floods – the firm forests or dryland forests. During the tour, learn about trees, fruits and wild fruits, survival strategies and medicinal herbs.
Nocturnal Sightseeing
Enjoy the unique feeling of the nightlife inside the forest, lightened by the stars, exploring the igapós to spot birds, sloths, snakes and alligators hidden in the sounds of darkness
The airport of destination is (MAO) Manaus, Eduardo gomes. From there - or from your hotel (before 12:00 PM) in Manaus - we will pick you up to start the trip and transport you to the lodge in the middle of the rainforest, which is about 2.5 hours drive away.
