Amazing Tours agency

Posted by Sitse 15 August 2007

Hi all travellers! I would like to tell about my experience in Brazil. I recently came back from my holiday. Me and my girlfriend were in Brazil for two weeks. We landed in Rio de Janeiro which we liked very much. Then afterwards we went to Pantanal, where we did a tour with Marcelo Indio - he is a tour guide married to a German woman. We did a five-day jungle tour with them. It was cool!

Then later we went to Manaus and did three more days on a jungle tour with Leonardo - he was reccomended by Marcelo and Mirjan. That's why we trusted him. We saw monkeys, macaws, sloth, and so on.

I would like to recommend them and hope other travellers can have the same experience as us.

Cheers!
Sitse

Unique tree-level jungle lodge on the banks of Rio Negro.

Google prices and compare them with the offers of local travel agencies, which might be more convenient as they include transfers and excursions.

Teatro Amazonas

If the tickets for what you want to attend are sold out, contact the director.

He will allow you to assist to the general rehearsal!

Ask the people at the ticket counter, they will tell you where to find him.

Presidente Figueiredo is 100 km away from Manaus. There are three waterfalls there, including the amazing Cachoeira Suframa, where you can swim, and Santuário, which is probably one of the most beautiful in the region. The third waterfall is located right in the heart of the city.

Eco Discovery Tours run day trip there;
