• Meeting of Waters - The tour begins at 8 a.m. with a hotel pickup by the guide. Guests are then transported to the port of Ceasa to board a speedboat. The first destination is Catalao, a floating village where visitors can see the Giant Arapaima Gigas, the largest scaled fish in the world. Feel free to touch them if you dare! Rest assured, they are strong but harmless. Feeding them is also an option.

The next highlight of the tour is the meeting of the waters, where the black waters of the Rio Negro meet the brown waters of the Solimões River, and incredibly, the two colors remain separate! The Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon originating in Colombia, gets its dark hue from dissolved minerals and decaying plants. In contrast, the Solimões River’s light brown color comes from sediment. When these two rivers converge, they create a stunning visual contrast that is truly captivating. Be sure to capture this moment for your social media!

• Balneário Cachoeira do Castanho (Publico) - After an exciting day exploring the rivers, it’s time to return to the port and embark on a 1-hour car journey. The route crosses the Rio Negro bridge, leading to the other side of Cachoeira Village. Upon arrival, guests will board a boat to a floating house, where they can swim with pink river dolphins in their natural environment. Following the swim, lunch is served at a floating restaurant, featuring tambaqui, a local Amazonian fish.

• Comunidade Tatuyo - Post-lunch, the journey continues up the river by boat to the Tatuyos Indigenous Village, where traditional ways of life are preserved. Visitors can learn about their lifestyle and culture in the Amazon and join in a welcome dance. After the village visit, the group returns by boat to the port, then by car to Manaus, arriving at 4:00 p.m.
