    2. 6-Day Guided Kayak Expedition in the Amazon

    5.0· 5 reviews· 6 days

    The Urubu River is a tributary of the great Amazon River, and lies to the east of Manaus. It is almost 500 km/310 miles long, and is the narrowest river we travel on – it is the perfect width to experience the real rainforest at your fingertips. Few people live on this exciting river and you will enjoy peaceful days without seeing or hearing much of humanity at all. The predominantly gentle current will aid you in your journey downstream, although you may also have the chance to shoot some safe but exciting rapids. Kayaking is the perfect way to experience this beautiful, mystical river before mass tourism discovers it!
