Manaus day trip to MUSA and INPA with a bilingual guide, hotel pickup, and a 42-meter tower view over the Amazon canopy.

“não compensa! não foi conforme o descrito no anúncio. no geral muito desorganizado! não recebi informações sobre horário de busca no hotel, e eu que tive que contatar a agência e ninguém atendia telefone ou respondia email. Após buscar no Google achei outro telefone da agência e consegui contato, responderam com o contato do motorista e horário e no dia do passeio mudaram para outro motorista e anteciparam a saída pro passeio. No Inpa não há nenhum guia e nosso motorista nos acompanhou na caminhada. Depois fomos ao MUSA, chegando lá para nossa surpresa não tinha reserva alguma e nem passeio guiado, que só ocorre duas vezes ao dia (9.30…”

5.Visit to MUSA (Amazon Museum)

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 4 reviews · 6 hours · from $80

Guided 6-hour visit to MUSA in Manaus, with forest trails, animal nurseries, and a sunset view from an observation tower.

“The museum itself was great and definitely worth the visit, however the price for this tour is not justified and frankly misleading. I paid a $110 Canadian dollars for 3 people (so a total of $330) for just an uber. Entry fee was not included in this so that was another $50 for 3 people. The tour says there is a guide that's provided and while the guide was knowledgeable in local flora, it's not the same guide that lets you explore hidden/special trails, which is what the tour made it sound like. If you want explore the hidden trails, you have to pay more. Everyone else on the main…”

6.Museu do Seringal Rubber Museum

★★★★★★★★★★1.2 · 4 reviews · 4 hours · from $160

Speedboat to Vila Paraíso and Manaus’s Rubber Museum, with a jungle walk showing latex collection and the lives behind the Amazon rubber boom.

“Die Plantage selbst ist toll und sehr interessant. Aber dieses Angebot mit Tour ist viel zu teuer.. Man wird mit einem klapprigen Auto zum offiziellen Hafen gefahren. Da wartet man dann ewig auf ein reguläres Linienboot. Die Führung vor Ort übernehmen dann die sowieso dort tätigen örtlichen Führer. In der Zwischenzeit der gelangweilte Fahrer im Schatten rum. Niemand sprach auch nur ein Wort, Englisch oder Spanisch (nur portugiesisch). Ich gehe davon aus, dass man das auch selber gut machen kann, wenn man den Startpunkt der Boote mit dem Taxi anfährt.”
