This itinerary maximizes the chance to observe wildlife offering the
opportunity to study the major habitat types in Amazonia, on both
the Rio Negro and the Amazon River. Explore a pristine wilderness
area on the Rio Negro examining the igapó, or black water,
flooded forest and also the terre firme, or high forest. Voyage to
the Amazon River to examine the flooded environment known as
varzea. Spend the days immersed in the forest while at night the
boat will reposition in order to have a new place to explore. In the
city of Manaus, accommodations in a central location provide easy
access to hictoric sites and museums. The overall framework of the
program will be the observation and description of key Amazon
environments and the flora and fauna that inhabit them. There will
be several excursions off the vessel every day into the forest as
well as a daily water sampling laboratory with recording in the field
notebooks. At your request, upon confirmation we can provide a
suggested curriculum for the program.
