A highlight for every visitor to the mighty Amazon is an Amazon river
trip. Due to the truly unique location of Amazonat Jungle Lodge we are
able to show guests two different water worlds in one river.
The northern riverbank, black due to the discharge of the Urubú River, has
an abundance of birds in a mosquito-free, surrealistic landscape. We will observe Victoria
Regia, the giant waterlily, which is growing here in large numbers. While crossing the
huge river, the visitor will witness a second phenomena of black water running side by
side with the muddy Amazon river flow, where we will see many dolphins including the
famous pink Amazon dolphins. Once on the other side, the south bank, one can take notice
of the very rich Varzeas, with the presence of wildlife, thousands of egrets and other
exotic birds, huge alligators and an incredible variety of fish.
