Itinerary

Day 1

Icoaraci

Day 2

Sailing Strait of Breves

If nature’s orchestra has created a masterpiece, then it’s the Amazon. Its name evokes a sense of temptation, risk and a yearning for adventure, but also with the need to protect unique ecosystems. How does it feel to hear, see and sense it for the first time? Find out on board. The advantages of your little expedition ship are already apparent during the daytime passage through the Breves Channels, which gives an idea of the fantastic creations of nature. The calls of the toucans, yellow-headed caracaras and saffron finches will accompany you. The lush banks close in around the ship, while it confidently negotiates challenging changes in direction – much to the delight of the locals, the Caboclos, who you will meet time and again on your adventure in their boats, both large and small. While you experience the Amazon with all your senses, your experts on board will quench your thirst for knowledge and also shed light on the tensions between unspoilt nature and global economic interests.
