Day 1
We pick you up in your hostel at
08:30am to the Rio Preto village (80kms by road). There we visit the
municipal market before leaving in a motorized canoe to the
Malocas Jungle Lodge. On arrival at the Lodge we will be received by
the local staff that will show you your accommodation.
Lunch around 13H30: regional
food made of delicious Amazonian fishes.
After lunch, we will visit one
of our Caboclos neighbors who still live in similar conditions to their
Indian ancestors. Progressively, you will learn how to survive in the
jungle thanks to useful plants (to eat, to take care of yourself, to
build a shelter).
Dinner around 19h30.
At night, you will have the
possibility to leave the lodge with your guide to “hunt” the alligators.
Day 2
After breakfast you will go on a
jungle trek. Discovery of a new eco-system and bath in one the
waterfalls that surround the Malocas. After lunch, you could rest a bit
before leaving to fish piranhas. If you are successful you could taste
them at dinner…
After dinner, maybe you will
have the opportunity to hear some Caboclos or Indians stories around the
fire.
Day 3
Birds observation at sunrise
(please ask to your guide if you are willing to do this activity). After
breakfast you will go by canoe and then by trekking in the jungle
(different eco system) to another waterfall where you can take a bath.
You will have the possibility (depending on the weather) to lunch in
front of the waterfall on a fire. Then you will trek back to the lodge,
where you can rest, take a bath, go on a canoe trip or fish on your own.
Dinner and fire camp.
Day 4 & 5
After breakfast, you will go on
a personalized jungle trek : depending on your preference and after
speaking with your guide, you go on a trek focused either on plants,
animals, flowers, birds, or trees… You will be back at the lodge for
lunch and then you will prepare your departure to the survival night
(you can also choose with your guide to leave directly after the
breakfast). You and your guide will experiment an immersion in the deep
jungle for one night. You will be able to discover how you can use the
Amazonian environment to survive, while respecting it. After a dinner
made on the fire, you will be able to feel the jungle atmosphere at
night, lulled in your hammock by the sounds of the nature….
Back to the lodge for lunch,
farewell to the Malocas and arrival in Manaus around 7:00pm.
Observation
Your
guide
might
switch the order of the activities depending on the weather conditions
and also on your physical shape. We guarantee you that every activity
will be done though.
