Visits to Indigenous Communities |
|
Dotted along the Amazon River are settlements of native
tribes who have inhabited this land and prospered here for
millennia. To see how they live and interact with each
other and their environment is truly amazing. |
|
Canoeing over Inundated Forests |
|
Each year, the forest floor of the Amazon, becomes the
river bed and taking a canoe ride through this watery
world with a guide will bring about some unique sightings
and experiences. |
|
Traditional and Modern-Day Fishing |

Using traditional Amazonian techniques or modern fishing
equipment, drop your line into the water and be amazed and
the weird, wonderful and large fish you will
be surprised to catch including the fearsome Red-Bellied
Piranha. |
|
Exotic Bird Watching |
|
Skulk quietly through the foliage with a native guide who
knows every tree and rock as we know our back yard until
you reach the territories of Toucans, Macaws and other
wonderful birds. |
|
Jungle-Treks |
|
are a must in the Amazon Rainforest to get a true feel of
the sheer numbers of different plant and animal species
that can be found here. A native guide will accompany you
and point out sightings of fauna that ay otherwise be
missed. |
|
Night-time Caiman Watching |
|
The Rainforest is a completely different place at night.
Many of its residents leave their shelter from the daytime
heat to hunt at night and this is the case for the
magnificent caiman. Board a canoe with your guide and
using a torch which will reflect in the eyes of these
large reptiles, take away sightings and emotions that
won’t be forgotten. |
|
Swimming in Natural Pools |
|
Swimming in a natural pool of the Amazon Rainforest not
only seems to cleanse the body, but also the soul. Feeling
the naturally purified waters washing over your body,
promotes a sense of total peace with nature. |
|
Indigenous Tattooing |
|
When visiting the indigenous communities, it is a great
honour for the native people to bestow upon you a typical
tribal tattoo, using their traditional methods. This is a
sign of acceptance between an ancient and primitive
culture and a western visitor. It is a connection which
will never be broken. |
|
Canopying |
|
Take a zip-line which will haul you high up into the tree
tops where the majority of the Rainforest’s species exist.
From this vantage point, you will be able to admire
fruit-bearing trees and the animals that come from miles
around to take advantage of their sustenance.
Canopying incurs an additional charge. |
|
Jungle-Oil Massages |
|
From December to April, certain exotic plants produce oils
which can be harvested and used to perform the most
delicious massages. These oils are known by the local
people to have amazingly curative properties which have
not yet been discovered by modern date science. The oils
are known to relax the muscles beneath the skin and
produce an anti-ageing effect.
