This tour explores some of the Amazon River’s creeks and channels, providing a glimpse of the mighty river’s majesty, and takes you on a leisurely walk through the jungle.
During the boat ride, you will see local canoes, fishing boats and other rivercraft making their way along the tributaries that lead into and out of the great rainforest and view homes of local inhabitants built on stilts. Crossing Combu Island via the narrow canals, you will reach the Boa Vista do Acará jungle area.
Enjoy a 45-minute walk in the jungle. Your local guide points out the different species of trees, fruits and seeds.
After the walk, you’ll head back to the boat for the return trip to Belem.
Notes:
Tour operates weather and/or water conditions dependent. Depending on the humidity, biting or stinging insects may be present; bring insect repellent. Not advisable for guests who are allergic to insect stings. Traffic can be unpredictable; your patience is greatly appreciated if a delay extends the tour duration. If the ship is docked at Belem (rather than anchored at Icocraci), tour duration is reduced by approximately 1.5 hours. Tour does not operate on holidays. You’ll be given a helmet to wear during the walk because nuts often fall from the trees during the jungle hike. They are not dangerous, but if many nuts are falling, it can be slightly annoying if you don’t have a helmet -- this is a matter of comfort rather than a matter of safety. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
