Rio de Janeiro, the Gentle Amazon and the Tapajós River - An enchanting and intimate cruise to the most beautiful beaches of the Amazon (port-to-port cruise)

Cruise

Rio de Janeiro - MANAUS - PARINTINS - ÓBIDOS - SANTARÉM - PONTA GRANDE - BAY OF URUCUREÁ - MAGUARI - JAMARAQUÁ - ALTER DO CHÃO - SANTARÉM

Set off on a unique adventure along the Amazon aboard the Brasilian Dream, a charming vessel with an intimate capacity of just 32 passengers. This exclusive cruise invites you to discover the Amazon rainforest in exceptional conditions, combining premium comfort, a warm atmosphere and genuine immersion.As you sail along the river, each stop reveals an unknown facet of this fascinating region: indigenous villages, flooded forests, abundant wildlife and vibrant traditions.

The Amazon reveals a gentler, almost dreamlike side when vast stretches of white sand appear as far as the eye can see, bordered by the crystal-clear waters of the Tapajós. These ephemeral shores, bathed in shimmering light, offer a unique setting for observing nature.Each evening becomes a spectacle of its own, as the sky ignites with golden and orange hues, casting a warm glow over the forest—an ever-changing living canvas of breathtaking beauty.

From vibrant Manaus to the river beaches of Alter do Chão, you will explore the region aboard a private launch, guided by passionate experts. On the programme: meaningful encounters, night rituals, walks through primary forest, and privileged opportunities to observe Amazonian biodiversity.

This rare experience blends cultural discovery, natural beauty and magical moments. A profoundly human and sensorial journey, carried by the soothing rhythm of the Amazon’s waters.
