    The Amazon is almost mythical: a green and vast world of waters and forests, where the tops of immense trees hide more than one-third of the species that live on Earth.

    The Amazon is the largest biome in Brazil with a territory of more than 5 million km2 where 2,500 species of trees grow (one-third of all tropical wood in the world) and 30,000 species of plants (out of 100,000 in South America ). The Amazon basin is the largest hydrographic basin in the world: it covers about 6 million km2 and has 1,100 tributaries. Its main river, the Amazon, cuts through the region to flow into the Atlantic Ocean, throwing about 175 million liters of water into the sea every second. The fauna of the Amazon is extremely rich. Studies indicate that it is possible to find about 30 million animal species in the region: toucans, macaws, parrots, monkeys, jaguars, alligators and pink dolphins are symbols of this biome.

    With this program, you will have the opportunity to spend unforgettable days in a comfortable lodge completely integrated with the Amazon rainforest, with daily learning tours in the jungle, closely observing the forest, the animals and the culture of the local communities. Due to the proximity to the Equator, the temperature is usually hot, with an annual average of around 27º.

    The Amazon region can be visited throughout the year, however, there are two very different seasons, which must be taken into account:

    WET SEASON – from March to August, the water levels increase up to 15 meters, an ideal factor to visit the igapós, as the flooded lands are known, in all their beauty.

    DRY SEASON – From September to February, the level of the rivers reaches their lowest point, reducing the space for fish and making fishing easier, as well as focusing on alligators.
