Day-by-Day Itinerary
Our most complete itinerary, designed for those who want to discover more dimensions of the Amazon while experiencing the territory at a slower pace.
Our experience begins in Manaus, where we set off for the jungle lodge. We leave the city behind, with the final stretch of the journey taking us by boat through the Amazonian waterways. Upon arrival, our team welcomes you and shares the story that brought Caboclos to where it is today.
After lunch, we head out with our guides to explore Acajatuba Lake, observing the Forest, the water, and the wildlife that may appear along the way, while learning about the lives of those who call this place home. We end the day at a floating house, such a distinctive part of life in the Amazon, enjoying a river swim and the sunset over the Rio Negro.
We start early, navigating the lake as the Forest awakens. After breakfast, we set out on a guided walk, taking a closer look at the details around us: plants, animals, sounds, and the relationships that shape this ecosystem.
In the afternoon, we take part in a hands-on workshop exploring Amazonian scents at a women-led natural cosmetics business, while learning about the local tourism network and the women who play a leading role within it. After dinner, we return to the Forest to discover the sounds and wildlife that emerge after dark.
Depois do café da manhã, seguimos para uma caminhada interpretativa na Floresta. Acompanhados por um guia local, conhecemos espécies, histórias e usos tradicionais das plantas, além de observar os pequenos sinais que revelam a vida ao nosso redor.
Mais tarde, participamos da oficina de perfumaria Cheiro da Floresta, uma iniciativa local que transforma ingredientes e conhecimentos do território em produtos artesanais e geração de renda.
À noite, voltamos para a água para uma focagem noturna. Com lanternas e atenção aos sons da Floresta, buscamos animais de hábitos noturnos e conhecemos uma Amazônia bastante diferente daquela que vemos durante o dia.
Today, we immerse ourselves in the knowledge and practices that are part of everyday life in the Amazon. We visit a medicinal plant garden and take part in preparing a natural syrup recipe. We then continue to a traditional Flour House, discovering how cassava is transformed into different foods and tasting tapioca made on the spot.
The experience continues with a visit to an Indigenous village, where we are welcomed to learn about some of the customs, knowledge, and ways of life shared by its residents. The day continues with time by the water, either at a river beach or exploring the flooded Forest, depending on the season.
Today, we take a closer look at riverside community life, visiting the largest community in the region and learning how collective life is organized along the Rio Negro. We visit the Turtle Conservation Project, a community-based initiative that connects everyday life, tourism, and conservation.
We then visit another women-led business, where we take part in a workshop making sweets with Amazonian ingredients such as Brazil nuts, cupuaçu, and açaí. From there, we head out for an encounter with the Amazon’s emblematic pink river dolphins, learning more about these animals and observing them up close in their natural environment. In the evening, we return to the water for a peaceful navigation under the Amazonian sky.
In the morning, we navigate along the Ariaú River until we reach the giant Samaúma tree in the heart of the Forest. After lunch, we head out for traditional piranha fishing, learning from our guides about a practice closely connected to life along the rivers of the Amazon.
The day continues with time for a river swim and ends back at Caboclos, learning the rhythms and first steps of carimbó before coming together for music and dance.
It is time to bring out your adventurous side: what if you had to find your way in the jungle? Our guides share practical knowledge about how to use the resources available in the Forest as we learn essential jungle survival skills.
Today, we also take part in planting a tree, learning about the chosen species and its relationship with the Forest. We then head to Silvana’s floating house, where life unfolds on the water, to slow down, swim in the river, and watch the day come to an end while enjoying your final sunset in the jungle.
On our final morning, we go canoeing around Caboclos. Paddling through calm waters and waterways that shift with the rise and fall of the rivers, we combine gentle movement with the experience of a traditional way of getting around for those who live here.
Back at Caboclos, we share our final lunch before check-out and the journey back to Manaus.

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.
FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 7-day itinerary and the shorter itineraries?
The 7-day / 6-night itinerary is Caboclos’ most complete experience. The additional time allows you to discover more dimensions of the territory, including communities, conservation initiatives, local businesses, different landscapes, and knowledge rooted in the Forest.
The difference is not simply the number of experiences. Staying longer also allows you to experience the Amazon at a different pace and develop a closer connection with the place and the people who live here.
