The Amazon rainforest as you have never imagined. Surreal landscapes of almost unbelievable beauty combine dense tropical forests and thousand-year-old trees, with the paradisiacal freshwater beaches of the Tapajós River, considered one of the world's most beautiful beaches by The Guardian.
The riverside communities of Maguari and Jamaraquá will welcome you with open arms, with all the hospitality and tenderness that are so typical of the region.
This 8-day, 7-night trip gives you an intimate feel for the local culture, while supporting the community and creating unforgettable memories.
Vivalá's Expeditions are held in territories that concentrate and preserve a large part of the Brazilian biodiversity, the largest in the world.
With Community Based Tourism, we value the culture of traditional people and impulse their economies.
