Highlights

Meeting of Waters - Our day starts at 7am when we pick you up from your hotel in Manaus. We head to the Ceasa Port where you will board a speedboat along the Rio Negro. As we navigate the waters, the first stop on the trip is the floating village of Catalão. Here we will visit a fish farm where you can see the Giant Arapaima Gigas, the largest scaled fish in the world. You will be able to feed them and feel how strong they are!

After visiting the fish farm, we proceed by speedboat to the meeting of the waters. Here the Rio Negro and the Solimões River meet but don’t mix. Afterward, we continue along the river to the Careiro village. From there we will continue by road for about an hour to Maçarico lake. The final leg is by speedboat and you will arrive at the lodge at about 11:30 am. At noon, delicious local cuisine will be served for lunch.

Juma Floating Lodge (Pousada Do Nilson) - At 3:00 pm, we will head out on a canoe trip. On this trip, you’ll see the world-famous Amazon Pink River Dolphin, as well as an array of colorful birds. We’ll also get a chance to do some piranha fishing. We’ll stay out on the water until about 6:30 pm when we’ll watch the beautiful sunset, and at 7 pm we’ll return to the lodge for dinner. We head back on the waters at 8:30 pm in search of the fearsome Cayman. Your jungle guide will snatch a Cayman out of the water, allowing you to learn more about it up close, after which it’ll be carefully returned to its habitat.

Crocs, dolphins, monkeys, piranhas, what’s not to love - One of the biggest highlights of our entire South America trip was spending 4 days in the Amazon with Joshua’s expeditions. Our jungle guide, Toniel and captain João were the real deal. Toniel was born in the jungle, catches caiman with his bare hands and tells you campfire stories about his encounters with jaguars. Hearing about his way of life and getting to see his passion for the jungle was inspiring. Everything was super well organised and never felt rushed. Staying at Tapiri lodge was excellent. The food in camp and facilities were top notch with a diet of fish they catch daily from the same river you spend your days navigating. The family running it are super friendly and have some unusual pets, Felipe the caiman was our favourite. I’ll never get bored of sitting on the deck watching river dolphins jumping out of the water just outside your room. Could not recommend more highly.

The experience of a lifetime with the best support! - Firts of all, if you're planning to go to the Amazon rainforest, be aware that you need a trustworthy counterparty to book your trip. You don't want some random, non professional guide leading you throught the jungle! This is why we ABSOLUTELY reccomend Joshua and his team. Everything was excellent. The transfers, the lodge, our meals, our guide... We could't ask a more pleasant experience. If you're visiting Brazil, Joshua's tour in the Amazon is a must do.

Peaceful and natural experience - I am usually not writing reviews but I really enjoyed my time. First the guide Cobra (you cannot invent this one!) was outstanding, understood that we wanted a real experience, not touristic bs. As a native, he adapted and went out of the ordinary. The activities are very cool with a wow moment for each but 3-4 days is just the right time. The housing is comfortable enough, clean, with good showers and ACs. The food was surprisingly very good and all local. The team is very welcoming and helpful Only point,if you decide to sleep outside, it can be pretty hot so it is not that easy. All in all, warmly recommended and thanks again to the team.
