About this trip
This is a very special photographic safari, prepared with great care. We will be in the heart of the Amazon, in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, staying at Uakari Lodge, an initiative in Community-Based Tourism in the Brazilian Amazon that seeks to be the best example of ecotourism in the Amazon. In addition to discovering and being enchanted by the preserved nature of the Reserve, learning how to use the equipment in the best possible way, recording species of fauna and incredible landscapes, we will also be in contact with the culture of traditional communities and, in addition, contributing to the conservation of local biodiversity.
Before arriving in Mamirauá we will spend two days in Manaus, a full day in Presidente Figueiredo with lots of birdwatching and two days in Tefé, getting to know and photographing every corner of this incredible bioma.
