This Rio Negro cruise from Manaus is interesting because you are not just watching the Amazon, you are living on a small boat built with traditional techniques, moving through wildlife habitat day after day.…
“Descrizione attività molto interessante, ma invito get your Guide ad andare a sperimentarla per valutarla di persona. La barca era fatiscente e con un livello di igene molto basso. Il programma continuava a cambiare secondo le esigenze della guida e capitano -non necessariamente secondo quanto descritto nella descritzione dell'attività stessa- senza spiegare un granchè a noi utenti (Per esempio la crociera doveva arrivare a toccare dei luoghi che invece non ha fatto. Il trekking nella Giungla da 3h è stato ridotto a 40 min etc). L'Amazzonia è affascinante, ma abbiamo perso molto poichè le guide - forse abituate a fare questo lavoro e forse annoiate- non avevano alcuna cura di…”

4-day Manaus to Belém Amazon river boat ride with hotel pickup, hammock or cabin stays, onboard meals and water, English support.
“Da ich etwas älter bin und Privatsphäre bevorzuge, habe ich eine Kabine gebucht. Die meist Einheimischen in Ihren Hängematten habe ich während der Tropengewitter bedauert; aber ich nehme an sie sind Regenzeiten gewohnt 😃 Einheimisches Essen und Getränke ausreichend vorhanden. Ansonsten ein einfaches Boot ohne „Luxus“. Während der etwa 10 Stops zum Ent-/Beladen wird keine Rücksicht auf die Uhrzeit genommen; also nächtens laut. 97 Stunden Fahrzeit sind nicht gerade wenig, aber im Nachhinein doch schnell vergangen. Einige schöne Eindrücke gewonnen und Fotos gemacht. Die Fahrt werde ich kein zweites Mal machen. Aber wer meine Zeilen liest und richtig deutet, dem kann ich sie empfehlen 👍”
