The Amazon offers the ultimate rainforest experience: dense forests, picturesque river islands, and tranquil waterways. Drained by the world's largest network of freshwater lakes and rivers, the Amazon sight includes Manaus, the legendary capital city and the ideal point of departure for visitors to the many jungle lodges, from charming and comfortable 3-star Juma, Tiwa and Ecopark, to exotic and famous Ariau Jungle Lodge. Riverboat excursions, such as the new Iberostar are also a great option. Highlights are the Meeting of the Waters tour, the Teatro Amazonas and the Mamiraua reserve. The most adventurous may even choose our Jungle Survivor program to venture deep into the region and experience the Brazilian Amazon and all its flora and fauna face-to-face.
