Depart from the pier by speedboat for a scenic ride along Manaus' waterfront. Along the way, admire the city's riverside life, including traditional stilt houses, the historic Alfândega and Guardamoria buildings, the vibrant Adolpho Lisboa Market, and narrow waterways known as igarapés that weave through the city. Continue to the awe-inspiring Meeting of the Waters, where the muddy Solimões River flows side by side with the dark Rio Negro without mixing—a rare natural phenomenon that extends for over 12 kilometers, showcasing the power and uniqueness of the Amazon. Next, explore the rich biodiversity of Janauari Lake, home to lush flora like the iconic giant water lilies (Vitória-Régia) and diverse wildlife including monkeys, sloths, macaws, and other tropical birds. Enjoy a traditional Amazonian lunch at a regional floating restaurant. On the return journey, relax and take in the breathtaking scenery along the riverbanks before heading back to your hotel.
