Afterwards take a break for dinner before a navigation to Acu Creek or nearby tributaries.
Early morning we explore the surroundings along the waters edge in our canoes while we mainly find fruit eating birds like parrots and toucans. After breakfast we go for a jungle walk, we discover many surprising fragrances in leaves, fruits, woods and animals. Around midday we return and we may go for a swim, before lunch. In the Afternoon we navigate through the Anavilhanas National Park, one of the world`s largest fresh water archipelagos, a labyrinth of waterways. In the late afternoon we embark in the canoes and learn more about this wonderful nature park.
Navigation to a white sand beach, potentially Praia Grande. If conditions permit, you will have the chance to swim and observe the vegetation of the sandy areas. Afterwards travel by canoe to Lake Acajatuba to see typical flora including rubber trees, Brazil nuts, useful palm trees of various types. Try your hand at fishing for piranhas before lunch. Next, stop at the Paricatuba community to see old abandoned rubber-boom buildings, now overgrown with strangler fig trees.
At sunrise, take a trip to Lake Janauary for bird watching and then stop to enjoy breakfast. Navigation to the ‘Meeting of the Waters’, the incredible sight where the dark water of the Rio Negro meets the sandy coloured Amazon River, and a great place to spot both pink and grey river dolphins. Return to the Tropical Hotel landing-stage in the late morning, with fine views of Manaus' waterfront.

Sustainability
Chimu Adventures undertakes a number of sustainability measures within its operations including:
1) Only using local guides and office staff to both maximise local employment opportunities and minimise carbon footprints. Local guides also ensure you benefit from the intimate knowledge, passion and culture of the country you’re visiting.
2) Where possible, using locally owned and operated boutique hotels to maximise the return to the local community.
3) Chimu’s “Pass it on” programme has provided funding to hundreds of local community projects in Latin America. Our aim is to empower local communities, helping them to develop their own infrastructure for the future. Since 2006, we have been working with Kiva (a well-known Non-Governmental Organisation), providing hundreds of loans to local businesses all over South America.
4) In our pre tour information we provide a range of tips and advice on how to minimise your impact on both local environments and communities.
5) Chimu Adventures’ offices also take a number of sustainability measures including carbon offsets for company vehicles and most staff travel. Chimu Adventure’s internal processes are also structures to create a paperless office and to reduce waste. There are also internal programmes to help staff minimise their carbon footprint such as our staff bike purchase assistance plan which encourages office staff to commute to work via bicycle. Currently almost half of our office based staff commute to work via bicycle.
