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.

“The experience was absolutely amazing—waterfalls, distilleries, history, nature, and everything that made for a perfect day. The guides were exceptional, attentive to everyone’s needs, friendly, and always willing to help. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The restaurant in the jungle is also fantastic.

“where should I start? All I can say is that I was completely thrilled by this tour and that my expectations were by far exceeded!! That started at the lecture with the appointment the day before. Even though I didn't live in the defined area, they offered to pick me up there anyway! I found that very friendly. The next morning the driver contacted me to confirm the pickup and pickup time, which meant I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily on the street. When we arrived at the port, we were able to check in quickly for the tour and we set off soon. The guide showed up and explained…”

“I am sure I had reserved master suite but the voucher is said to be suite. So I had to pay R$500 on boat for upgrade. Bathroom had mildew and its smell in cabin made me sick.

“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. Il trekking nella Giungla da 3h è stato ridotto a 40 min etc). L'Amazzonia è affascinante, ma abbiamo perso molto poichè le guide - forse abituate a fare questo lavoro e forse annoiate- non avevano alcuna cura di…”
