We navigate “Encontra das Aguas,” the several mile long joining of two of the world’s greatest rivers, the Rio Negro and The Amazon. The dark and light waters run side by side for several miles without mixing. Tonight we will foray out in our launches to hunt for nocturnal life. In the beam of our powerful spotlights we should see the glowing eyes of Caiman, the Amazon’s crocodiles. (B, L, D)

We begin our day with an early launch excursion, but for our mid-morning excursion we will go for a walk in a small village. We will appreciate the slow pace of life that follows the rhythms of the seasons and river cycles. We will go either to the north or south side of the Amazon River depending on the season and the weather. Our choice will be whichever offers us the best chance of observing wildlife. Late afternoon we will further explore the wilds of this tropical paradise. (B, L, D)
