Paramaribo City tour/Fly to Belem Brazil

Visit Fort Zeelandia, Palmentuin (Palm Garden), the Waterkant and the Central Market. Return to hotel.

Transfer to airport for flight to Belem, Brazil. Fly to Belem, Brazil and transfer to hotel for overnight. Belém, in Pará state, is one of Brazil's busiest ports—and it's about 60 miles upriver from the Atlantic ocean! The Pará is part of the Amazon River system and separated by Ilha de Marajó delta. Belém is built on several small islands intersected by channels and other rivers.

Founded in 1616, Belém was the first European colony on the Amazon but didn't become part of the Brazilian nation until 1775. As the gateway to the Amazon, the port and city grew tremendously in size and importance during the 19th-century rubber boom and is now a large city with millions of inhabitants. The newer part of the city has modern buildings and skyscrapers. The colonial portion retains the charm of tree-filled squares, churches and traditional blue tiles. On the outskirts of the town, the river supports a group of people called cablocas, who live their lives almost untouched by the busy activities of the city. (Meals: Breakfast)
Overnight at Eco Itoca Hotel

Day 6

Manaus, Brazil

Transfer to the airport and fly to Manaus. Manaus is a bustling city right in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest, and access to it is mainly via boat or aeroplane. This isolation helped preserve both the nature and the culture of the town.

With a population of 2.2 million people in 2020, Manaus is the most populous city in the Brazilian Amazon area. Located on the north bank of the Negro River, 11 miles (18 kilometres) above the meeting of the rivers where the Negro merges with the Solimões, Manaus is 900 miles (1,450 kilometres) inland from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Solimões and Negro rivers meet in Manaus and join to form the Amazon River (using the Brazilian definition of the river; elsewhere, Solimões is considered the upper part of the Amazon). Rubber made it the wealthiest city in South America during the late 1800s. Rubber also helped Manaus earn its nickname, the "Paris of the Tropics". Upon arrival, pick up and transfer to Taj Mahal hotel or similar. (Meals: breakfast)
Overnight at Taj Mahal Continental Hotel

Day 7

Meeting of the Waters Tour, Manaus

After the city trip, we will go on a boat trip, and you will experience the extraordinary meeting of the waters. This is where the dark water of the Rio Negro and the muddy water of the Solimões meet to form the Amazon River. Our experienced guide will explain why the waters do not mix. You will get the possibility to see the pink and grey river dolphins. (Beware, they are not always home.)

Our next stop is the Casa Caboclo. One of the locals will give you an impression of the medicinal plants from the Amazones and how rubber is created. A visit to a crafts home finishes this part of the day. Return to your hotel after a lunch of local dishes. (Meals: Breakfast, lunch)
Overnight at Taj Mahal Continental Hotel

Then, we will continue our city tour by visiting the Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, the market hall where you will be amazed by the variety of fruits, spices, and fishes on display. This is also an excellent place to find some exciting souvenirs.
