Amazonas Safari Trips & Tours

Where the quilted tree canopies barely give way to sunlight and rivers resemble vast, inland seas, this is the Amazon at its most primordial. The landscapes go through monumental shifts with the seasons, transforming from flooded forests where you can literally canoe amongst the treetops to idyllic river beaches in the Anavilhanas Archipelago. Wildlife encounters may be hard-won in this corner of the Amazon but they are exceptional when fortune smiles on you – look out for everything from pink river dolphins to Amazon manatees, three-toed sloths to anacondas the size of tree trunks (the rarest of the rare). You’ll also have the privilege of meeting and learning from indigenous peoples, who live according to the rhythms of nature. And in case you think you’ve heard it all, get ready for the 2 million-strong, jungle-bound city of Manaus, where the ‘Meeting of the Waters’ takes place.
