Day-by-Day Itinerary
This itinerary gives you more time to experience the Amazon, combining the Forest and wildlife with hands-on activities and a closer look at local knowledge and ways of life.
Our experience begins in Manaus, where we set off for Caboclos House Ecolodge. We leave the city behind, with the final stretch of the journey taking us by boat through the region’s waterways until we reach Acajatuba Lake.
Upon arrival, our team welcomes you and shares some of the story of Caboclos and the territory we call home.
After lunch, we head out with our guides for our first exploration of Acajatuba Lake. As we navigate, we observe the Forest, the water, and the wildlife that may appear along the way, while learning more about the lives of those who call this place home.
We end the day at a floating house, with time for a river swim and to take in the sunset over the Rio Negro.
We start early with the Lake Awakening, navigating as the light changes, the sounds emerge, and life begins another day in the Amazon.
After breakfast, we set out on a Guided Rainforest Walk. Accompanied by a local guide, we learn about different species, stories, and traditional uses of plants, while observing the small signs that reveal the life all around us.
Later, you can choose between two experiences included in the itinerary: an Amazonian Scents Workshop OR Piranha Fishing.
At night, we return to the water for Nighttime Wildlife Spotting, looking for nocturnal animals and noticing the sounds and movements of the Forest after dark.
We begin the day with a Pink River Dolphin Encounter, meeting one of the most emblematic animals of the Amazon’s rivers.
We then continue with Jungle Survival Skills, where our guides share practical techniques and knowledge used for orientation and safety in a jungle environment.
From here, the itinerary follows one of two paths.
For a closer look at local culture and everyday knowledge, we visit the Flour House: From Cassava to Tapioca and explore Traditional Knowledge of Medicinal Plants, discovering practices connected to daily life and food in the region.
OR, depending on the itinerary and local conditions, we navigate along the Ariaú River & the Giant Samaúma Tree, reaching one of the most emblematic trees of the Amazon Forest.
The cycle of the waters also transforms our next experience. Depending on the time of year, we enjoy a River Beach OR go Exploring the Flooded Forest.
We end the day with a Carimbó Dance Workshop & Celebration, discovering this local rhythm through music and dance.
On our final day, we set out for Canoeing through the waterways near Caboclos.
Canoeing allows us to enter narrower, quieter waterways and experience the landscape at a different pace. During the high-water season, we may paddle among the trees through the flooded Forest; as the water recedes, different routes and landscapes are revealed.
After the experience, we return to Caboclos for breakfast and prepare for check-out and the journey back to Manaus.
The itinerary may be adjusted according to natural conditions and the availability of local attractions. If any changes are necessary, our team will discuss the best alternatives with you to preserve the experience intended by the itinerary.

Where You'll Stay
Throughout your experience, you will stay at Caboclos House Ecolodge, a Ribeirinho-founded, women-led jungle hotel located on the shores of Acajatuba Lake, approximately two hours from Manaus.
All accommodations have air conditioning, private bathrooms, and hot showers. The hotel also has a restaurant, swimming pool, hammock area, Zen Space, and shared areas integrated into the surrounding landscape.
The Amazon Changes with the Waters
There is no single best time to visit the Amazon. Each season reveals a different Forest.
HIGH-WATER SEASON | February to August
As the rivers rise, we navigate among the trees through the igapós, the Amazon’s flooded Forest.
DRY SEASON | September to January
As the waters recede, white-sand river beaches emerge along the Rio Negro.
At the peak of the high-water season, which may occur in June, or at the peak of the dry season, particularly in October and November, some experiences may not be possible and will be replaced by suitable alternatives.
