Detailed Itinerary

Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome juice and the presentation of the lodge. During your stay, choose from the activities below- the schedule of the activities/tours will be coordinated by the local operation department and informed upon arrival.
TOUR TO THE “MEETING OF THE WATERS” (only available for guests with pick-up - hotels or airport - until 08:30 am).

Departs to ECOPARK on board a regional double deck boat. The boat goes down the Negro River, navigating along the shore of the City of Manaus, allowing passengers to view the Amazonas Theatre, the Port of Manaus, the Customs, and the interesting aspects of the local life - the stilt houses, for instance. Arrival at “The Meeting of the Waters” by 11h30am. It´s a spectacular merge of Negro and Solimões Rivers. From this point on, both rivers form the famous Amazon River that runs all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters of the two rivers run together for about 12 km, side by side, without mixing. The phenomenon happens due to differences in temperature, density, and speed of the waters of the rivers.

Optional lunch will be served in a typical restaurant (rustic yet clean restaurant with a buffet style, international and regional dishes).

Duration: 8 to 9 hours.

NATURE HIKE - Biodiversity is the main characteristic of ECOPARK. It includes uncatalogued species in virgin rainforests, natural savannahs, and creeks. Several streams of crystal clear warm water also run through the local. During the tour, the guide will lead, educating about the local flora & fauna, how and where to find edible fruits and potable water, first aid, how to the way in the forest, and much more.
Duration: 1 to 3 hours (depending on the health conditions of participants).

MONKEY FOREST - The facilities for the rehabilitation and reintroduction of wild animals in their habitat (known as the Monkey forest), was created in 1991 with the intention of receiving animals that have been confiscated from illegal commerce. This is a joint project with the Municipal Secretary of Environment and Sustainability. In this centre, the animals are initially put into quarantine to be evaluated and taken care of by a team of veterinarians and biologists. In partnership with the FFV (Live Forest Foundation), a non-profit institution overseen by Amazon Eco Park Lodge, a unique feeding system has been developed. Twice a day (10:30 & 15:30), the animals receive supplements of their natural diet, ensuring that they are being fed the necessary nutrients.

The Monkey Forest is open to guests at feeding times, always accompanied by a credentialed professional, permitting guests to film and photograph these animals in a natural and safe environment. Eventually, the monkeys may not appear; there are factors in nature (breeding season, heavy rain) that can interfere with the presence of monkeys. Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour.

IMPORTANT! Twice a year, the monkeys move away for 2-3 weeks to travel through the forest and demarcate their land. During this period, it will not be possible to see the monkeys, only the ones in quarantine.

VISIT THE CABOCLOS HOUSE - Depart the lodge on a boat or motorized canoe, accompanied by a Bilingual guide to learn about the traditions and customs of local Amazonians (“natives”).
Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour.

FISHING TOUR - Depart the lodge in paddle or motorized canoes, accompanied by a Bilingual guide. (Fishing of piranhas and other species, depending on the season). Note: It is non-professional fishing.
Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour.

NIGHT TOUR IN CANOE - Depart the lodge in paddle or motorized canoes to appreciate the sounds of the jungle at night, with the possibility to spot small alligators (or other nightly creatures). Alligators are spotted because their eyes shine like small red lights. Once the alligator is spotted by the guide’s spotlight, he will try to catch a small alligator with his own hands and bring it on to the canoe, and a brief explanation of their habitat follows. The alligator will then be safely released back to the river. (No harm is done to any of the animals). Duration: about 1 hour.

Note: during “high water level” season (from April to August) and on full moon evenings, it might be difficult to find alligators.
