NATURE HIKE

Biodiversity is the main characteristic of ECOPARK. It includes uncatalogued species in virgin rainforest, natural savannahs, and creeks. Several streams of crystal clear warm water run through the rainforest.

During the tour the guide will lead clients, educating them about the local flora/fauna, how and where to find edible fruits and potable water, first aid, how to find their way in the forest, and much more.

Duration: 1 to 3 hours (depending on health conditions of participants).

MONKEY FOREST

The facilities for rehabilitation and re-introduction of wild animals in their habitat (known as the Monkey forest), were created in 1991 with the intention of receiving animals that have been confiscated from illegal commerce. This is a joint project with the Municipal Secretary of Environment and Sustainability. In this center, the animals are initially put into quarantine to be evaluated and taken care of by a team of veterinaries and biologists. In partnership with the FFV (Live Forest Foundation), a nonprofit institution was overseen by Amazon Ecopark Lodge, a unique feeding system has been developed.

Twice a day, (10:30 & 15:30), the animals receive supplements of their natural diet, ensuring that they are being fed the necessary nutrients.

The Monkey Forest is open to guests at feeding times, always accompanied by a credentialed professional, permitting guests to film and photograph these animals in a natural and safe environment. It is also possible to "adopt" one of these animals and follow its development. Find out more at: http://www.ffv.org.br

Duration: 40 minutes to 1 hour.

VISIT THE NATIVE´S HOUSE

Depart the lodge on a boat or motorized canoe, accompanied by a Bilingual guide to learn about the traditions and customs of local Amazonians ("natives").

Duration: about 1 hour.

FISHING TOUR

Note 2: This tour can be combined with the "Meeting of the Waters" Tour and/ or with a "Visit to the Native's House".

NIGHT TOUR IN CANOE

Depart lodge in paddle or motorized canoes, to appreciate the sounds of the jungle at night, with the possibility to spot small alligators (or other nightly creatures). Alligators are spotted because their eyes shine like small red lights. Once the alligator is spotted by the guide's spotlight, he will try to catch a small alligator with his own hands and bring it on to the canoe, and a brief explanation of their habitat follows. The alligator will then be safely released back to the river. (No harm is done to any of the animals)

Duration: about 1 hour.

Note: during the "high water level" season (from April to August) and on full moon evenings, it might be difficult to find alligators.
