#ItineraryShare Located in the heart of the Amazon River, Manaus is a great starting point for exploring the Amazon rainforest. If you have limited time and want to experience the magic of the Amazon River in one day, this guide to a day trip to Manaus will be the best guide for you. The trip includes visits to Indian tribes, swimming with pink river dolphins, and the spectacular sight of the confluence of the Amazon's two rivers. 🗓️ Itinerary Overview Morning: Two Rivers Confluence and Pink Dolphin Experience 1️⃣ Encontro das Águas Depart from downtown Manaus in the morning and take a boat to the famous natural wonder of the Amazon - the confluence of two rivers. The Rio Negro and the Rio Solimões meet here, but due to the different water temperatures, densities and sediment content, the two rivers do not mix immediately, but instead form a clear dividing line on the river surface. You can watch this magnificent sight up close on the boat, and put your hand into the river to feel the difference between the two water temperatures, which is quite magical. 2️⃣ Swim with pink dolphins (Botos Cor-de-Rosa) Next, the boat will take you to the streams of the Amazon River tributaries, which are the habitat of pink dolphins. You will have the opportunity to swim with these mysterious Amazon river dolphins. Pink dolphins are a rare species unique to the Amazon. They are friendly and agile. Although you can swim with them, please do not feed or touch them for their protection. Your guide will provide relevant safety instructions, allowing you to feel the harmony of nature while living with these lovely animals. Afternoon: Indian Tribal Cultural Exploration 3️⃣ Visit the Indian Tribe After lunch, you will continue to the local Indian tribe by boat, where the oldest indigenous culture in the Amazon region is preserved.

You can also interact with the locals and learn about their lifestyle, handicrafts, and hunting and fishing techniques. 4️⃣ Animal interaction experience In the tribe, you will have the opportunity to get close to local animals. Residents bring animals like sloths, blue and red macaws and baby alligators so you can take photos with them. Most of these animals have been rescued or protected by villagers, making them safe for interaction. Especially when you see a sloth for the first time, you will feel their lazy and cute movements, which will be an unforgettable experience. 5️⃣ Taste local juice and shop for handicrafts After visiting the tribe, local villagers will provide homemade Brazilian specialty juice, allowing you to experience the pure and natural Amazon fruit flavor. Most of these juices come from wild fruits in the Amazon, such as acai berry, baobab fruit, etc. They are sweet and sour and full of the flavor of the Amazon. You can also buy some handicrafts as souvenirs at the local market. These handicrafts include wood carvings, pottery, feather headdresses, etc. They are all made by local residents and are very distinctive.

The Manaus market is also called the ancient construction market and the big market. It was designed by Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It has a history of more than 100 years. This bazaar, like the Eiffel Tower, is entirely of steel construction, but its design is more traditional and practical. This red-and-green-walled steel building has simple lines and simple shapes. The wrought iron decorations of the fences, doors and windows are very beautiful. It is a well-crafted work. This building more than 100 years ago is not backwards today. It is not only beautiful and generous, but also functional and reasonable. It is still full of shops and sells local Amazon products: medicinal herbs, food, condiments, souvenirs. and many more.

We live in a modern civilized society and enjoy the convenience brought by modern life. We have hydropower, healthy food, and highly developed industries. However, there are still some people in this world who like to live a life that is isolated from the world. These people do not like modern people. They get food themselves. Most of them dont cultivate. They only go hunting. These people gather in the primitive tribes of the Brazilian Amazon. Each primitive tribe has its own unique characteristics. Attracted me to explore. These tribes are almost undressed, they admire nature, and only wear some accessories on their bodies to cover important parts. The tribe's men learn to blow arrows from an early age. They must have very superb archery after adulthood, because most of their food is obtained by hunting. With superb blows, they can contribute to the tribe and capture the prey. Although many people call for the rescue of these tribes and expose them to modern society. But the Brazilian tourism department decided not to interfere in the life of the tribe, and to help them expel various threats in the periphery, so that they can maintain their current life in the depths of the rainforest.

When you come to Manaus in the heart of Amazon, how can you not go to the Mercado adolpho lisboa market with more than 130 years of history? Vegetables, fruits, spices, snacks, handicrafts, etc. can be used by both residents and tourists. Some stall owners will say simple English words, most of them can't swipe their cards, bring cash to buy and buy. I never bought a "souvenir" before, but I didn't buy the refrigerator sticker, but this time I took a small item. In the end, the traditional hunting tools of the aborigines blow the arrow. The crisis is quite huge. Some friends have already experimented with haha.

Manaus is known as the forest city and the Amazon heart. Because of its rich products and free trade zones, it feels that the living conditions here are relatively good in Brazil. Although there will be mess in the old town, there are also shopping malls that can compete with international metropolises. And the area is not large, the historic buildings in the city can be strolled for a long time, and then arrange a one or two days of Amazon tour, three or four days is still worth a trip. Although some news events have been reported in the news, personal feelings are still quite safe. I dont see any strange or dangerous people, and the police are full of guns on the street. They are more secure and rarely see one in the market. If the position is not equipped with a gun, the friends will have a meal after the consent of the people. In fact, there are quite a few faces in Asia here. I have been photographed with my friends. I have always been photographed unfairly. Its just that this police comrade seems to be a little handsome. Then I will take a photo. Haha
