Then you will visit floating villages and explore the opera house, the port, and the Indian Museum on a city tour – an exciting introduction to the world of Amazonia.

Here you will experience the rainforest up close: On guided hikes and canoe tours, you will encounter pink river dolphins, birds, and other wildlife. You will learn about the extraordinary biodiversity of this region and hear more about the sustainable work of the local communities.
