Ride in motorized canoe

Some jungle peculiarities, such as medicinal plants, different kinds of trees, some eatable insects, etc., will be shown and explained by the guide. Tourists will have the opportunity to see several types of vines, the rubber tree, the SAMAUMEIRA (one of the highest trees in the Amazon), etc.

Spotting Alligator

Night excursion, in motorized canoe. Besides alligators, guests may see some animals with nocturnal habits. Regarding the spotting, the guide will take a lighter which will be used to find the alligator and paralyze it, since the lights make it blind.

All the excursions are made around the hotel area. Each guest is informed in the check-in about his/her jungle guide, who will accompany him/her during the stay. Excursions are made in groups. Usually each excursion is made in a period of the day, which means that there are two excursions during the day ( or three if the guest goes to the spotting alligator). Some Saturdays there is a folk show at the hotel's amphitheater.
