Amazon experiences
Choose how to live the river.
Amazon Kite Day
A special session on the Amazon River, facing Santarém, where the dark waters of the Tapajós meet the muddy waters of the Amazon and flow side by side without mixing.
Arapiuns Kite Trip
The crossing from the Tapajós toward the Arapiuns river, as far as Ponta do Icuxi and Ponta Grande. Being farther out, the expedition requires a motorboat or support boat. It's a special trip, with more structure and a higher cost.
