The 15 Best Amazon Tours from Manaus

38 reviewed

Everything begins at Manaus, and the water level decides the trip. High season floods the igapó forest and the canoes go in among the treetops; low water opens river beaches and walking trails instead. The 15 below cover day boats to the meeting of the waters, the Presidente Figueiredo waterfalls, night runs after caiman, and the long ferries downriver, with what each includes and what it costs.

“Descrizione attività molto interessante, ma invito get your Guide ad andare a sperimentarla per valutarla di persona. La barca era fatiscente e con un livello di igene molto basso. Il programma continuava a cambiare secondo le esigenze della guida e capitano -non necessariamente secondo quanto descritto nella descritzione dell'attività stessa- senza spiegare un granchè a noi utenti (Per esempio la crociera doveva arrivare a toccare dei luoghi che invece non ha fatto.
