This is an incredible Amazon kayaking 4-10 day trip in Brazil. We have 2 trips on 2 different rivers on offer; the Urubu and the Jatapu.
The Urubu is at 100 km (60 miles), and the Jatapu at 360km (225 miles) by asphalt & dirt roads from Manaus. 4-6 days on the Urubu, 8-10 days on the more remote Jatapu.
The Amazon kayak tours are operated with Ocean kayaks made to meet the needs of a self sufficient journey where gear like folding chairs, fishing gear, first aid kit, camping equipment, and food can be stored inside them and/or tied up on top.
a small drybag is provided to the clients for their objects like electronics and others.
You will find below a day-by-day approximate itinerary of each trip where all listed activities are placed in a certain order. This order can change according to weather conditions, client\’s physical conditions and preferences. In general the level of rivers (Jatapu and Urubu) between the months February and September are better for navigation. April – May the river level will be high, so there will be no rapids, the fishing and the caiman spotting will be very difficult. From about July- mid-December, the water levels are down, so there are more places to hike and camp and the fishing is better.
