Amazon Lodge package 4 nights with Canoing In The Amazon.
Probably the best way to discover the Amazon is from a canoe. It is
really a great adventure because you never know what you will see when
you are in the rainforest. Silently the canoe is moving forward so you
will not disturb the animals. This means you will hear all the sounds
from the jungle and see a lot more than on a normal tour. Moreover, it
is fun to paddle in te Amazon and good exercise.
At Amazon Lodge there are six old fashioned Indian style dugout canoes
all of them with paddles made of local trees. We recommend using
lifejacket and bring lots of water. Don´t forget to bring a
sun
hat and suntan lotion since the sun is strong close to the equator.
The area around the lodge is perfect for paddling. There are 793
hectares of unspoiled rainforest and there are lots of small rivers and
canals in various directions for the paddle tours all year round. It is
easy to get lost in the labyrinths of the rainforest so there will
always be a local guide with you. The most interesting place for
paddling is through the flooded forests.
The Amazon Eco Lodge canoe program is designed for active travelers. No
canoeing experience is required because it is easy to learn. Everyone
receives an introduction to paddling techniques and safety before
paddling in the rainforest.
Since it is a floating lodge it is possible to paddle all year round.
The water level varies a lot during the year. The months with less
water are normally October and November. It is still possible to paddle
but there will be less flooded forest to paddle through.
The paddling always starts and ends at the lodge. On day 2 and day 3
you will have five hours of paddling. Normally you have siesta after
lunch and don´t paddle between 12:00hs and 15:00hs because it
is
normally very hot.
Most of the paddling are made on what is locally known as
igarapé. These igarapés are small canals often
under the
trees inside the rainforest and the water level is very low. The color
of the water level is often black as the water from Rio Negro. This is
a great place to paddle because when you float under the trees you will
not disturb the animals and will also hear all the noises of the jungle.
Our program offers a well-balanced mix of activities. Paddling is
combined with jungle hikes, bird watching, night excursions and relaxing
