The Amazon

What wildlife traveler has not imagined a trip to the Amazon – waking to the cry of howler monkeys and seeing where the different colored waters of the Solimões, Negro and Madeira rivers converge to form the mighty Amazon River. Manaus is where it all begins, but it is really just a starting point. True, deep-immersion Amazon experiences, from Mamirauá Reserve to Reserva Extrativista Baixo Rio Branco-Jauaperi, are where you'll encounter the Amazon of which you always dreamed.
