Experiences · with a native guide
Explore the Amazon, Ribeirinho style
Every excursion is led by Levir or the family — unhurried, authentic, and shaped by the rhythm of the river. What you do depends on the season, and both are wonderful.
The two faces of the river
When should you come?
Across the year the Ariaú rises and falls by several metres. The high water opens the flooded forest to canoes and brings wildlife close; the low water reveals beaches and is perfect for fishing and hiking. There's no bad time — only different kinds of beautiful.
The Flooded Forest
When the river climbs into the trees, the forest becomes a maze of green waterways. You paddle silently through the igapó — the flooded forest — right among the canopy, where the animals are.
Pink dolphins
Levir knows where the boto gather. Watch these legendary river dolphins surface in the still water.
Wildlife by canoe
Sloths, monkeys, toucans and countless birds — seen up close and calm, from a quiet dugout canoe.
Giant trees & treetop channels
Glide beneath centuries-old samaúma trees and into hidden corners only reachable when the water is high.
Rivers & Beaches
As the waters retreat, white-sand river beaches appear and the forest floor opens for walking. It's the season for fishing, swimming and campfires under the stars.
Fishing the Amazon
Try your luck for piranha and other river fish — then share the catch at the family table.
Jungle hikes on foot
Walk forest trails with Levir, learning the medicinal plants, tracks and sounds of the living jungle.
River beaches & swimming
Laze on hidden sandbanks, swim in warm black water and watch the sky catch fire at sunset.
