    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!

    Ariaú

    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.

    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;

    This park presents a rare opportunity to visit virgin Amazonian rainforest . It’s in the state of Amazonas, 220 km from Manaus, and can be reached by motor boat or canoe. The park shows the exuberance of the Amazonian forest and all its biodiversity of flora and fauna. Excellent for walking tours and canoeing and, clearly, for contemplating the beauty of nature. Also, in the park there is approximately one alligator per kilometre, in all habitats.

    It’s also possible to take eco tours from Manaus to Rio Mamoria, which is south of the city, near the Amazonas River and the Transamazônica motorway (the continuation of the Panamericana). And Presidente Figueiredo, 105 km from Manaus, offers archaeological grottos and caves, waterfalls, and native scenes.
