The legendary Amazon is one of the planet’s enigmas. It is the world’s largest river basin, and also the planet’s greatest rainforest. Within the Amazon Basin resides a wealth of life richer than any place else on earth, and millions of species still remain undiscovered. One of the best places to see some of this incredible wildlife is at the Uakari Lodge, situated near the small city of Tefe (1.5 hours SSW by commercial plane from Manaus). The lodge, with its 5 floating cabins, is strategically located off a tributary of the Solimoes River making it an ideal place to observe the abundance of wildlife such as birds, monkeys, caiman, dolphins, fish and much more. With this DiscoverBrazil package you will also visit the city of Manaus, which is famous for its spectacular Opera House built at the end of the 19th century when the city was experiencing the peak of its rubber boom period. Manaus also has one of the largest and busiest dock areas in Brazil, as well as a bustling port market. Due to flight schedules to Tefe overnighting in Manaus will be necessary.
