TOUR TO THE "MEETING OF THE WATERS" (only available for guests with pick-up - hotels or airport - until 08:30am). Departs to ECOPARK on board a regional double deck boat. The boat goes down the Negro River navigating along the shore of the City of Manaus, allowing passengers to view the Amazonas Theater, the Port of Manaus, the Customs and the interesting aspects of the local life - the stilt houses for instance. Arrival at "The Meeting of the Waters" by 11h30am. It´s a spectacular merge of Negro and Solimões Rivers. From this point on both rivers form the famous Amazon River that runs all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters of the two rivers run together for about 12kms, side by side, without mixing. The phenomenon happens due to differences in temperature, density and speed of the waters of the rivers. Optional lunch will be served in a typical restaurant (rustic yet clean restaurant with buffet style, international and regional dishes). Duration: 8 to 9 hours. The Meeting of the Waters tour can be conducted using either regional boats or speedboats (voadeiras).The choice of vessel will be made one day prior to the tour, considering two main factors: the number of guests and the drought conditions of the Rio Negro. This approach is intended to ensure the safety and best possible experience for all participants.
NATURE HIKE Biodiversity is the main characteristic of ECOPARK. It includes uncatalogued species in virgin rainforest, natural savannahs and creeks. Several streams of crystal clear warm water also run through the local. During the tour the guide will lead, educating about the local flora & fauna, how and where to find edible fruits and potable water, first aid , how to the way in the forest and much more. Duration: 1 to 3 hours (depending on health conditions of participants).
MONKEY FOREST The facilities for rehabilitation and reintroduction of wild animals in their habitat (known as the Monkey forest), was created in 1991 with the intention of receiving animals which have been confiscated from illegal commerce. This is a joint project with the Municipal Secretary of Environment and Sustainability. In this center, the animals are initially put into quarantine to be evaluated and taken care of by a team of veterinarians and biologists. In partnership with the FFV (Live Forest Foundation), a nonprofit institution overseen by Amazon Ecopark Lodge, a unique feeding system has been developed. Twice a day, (10:30 & 15:30), the animals receive supplements of their natural diet, ensuring that they are being fed the necessary nutrients. The Monkey Forest is open to guests at feeding times, always accompanied by a credentialed professional, permitting guests to film and photograph these animals in a natural and safe environment. Eventually the monkeys may not appear, there are factors in nature (breeding season, heavy rain) that can interfere with the presence of monkeys. Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour. IMPORTANT! Twice a year the monkeys move away for 2-3 weeks to travel through the forest and demarcate their land. During this period it will not be possible to see the monkeys, only the ones in quarantine.
VISIT TO THE CABOCLOS HOUSE Depart the lodge on a boat or motorized canoe, accompanied by a Bilingual guide to learn about the traditions and customs of local Amazonians (“natives"). Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour

NIGHT TOUR IN CANOE Depart lodge in paddle or motorized canoes, to appreciate the sounds of the jungle at night, with the possibility to spot small alligators (or other nightly creatures).

The alligator will then be safely released back to the river. (No harm is done to any of the animals). Duration: about 1 hour. Note: during "high water level" season (from April to August) and on full moon evenings, it might be difficult to find alligators.
