TRAVEL

 

 

Getting Here

Manaus is a 4 ½ hour direct flight out of Miami. Or out of the West Coast of the US or other cities and Europe or elsewhere many airlines have flights thru Sao Paulo or Rio having to change on to Manaus. Many USA airlines have connections thru there. Upon arrival in Manaus depending on the time you arrive or if you included a Manaus visit in your package we will arrange hotel accommodations or you will depart directly for Itacoatiara with our guide/driver "Keydinho" or "Crisantes".

We work with several travel agencies in the US that can assist in your travel arrangements.
Depending on what country you are coming from you may need a visa to enter Brazil. Check with your local travel agency or Brazilian Consulate. Here is a link to a site that lists consulates within the US. http://www.brazilsf.org/

Some shots may be required such as Yellow Fever. I recommend Hepatitis A and B shots which in reality you should have anyways. A malaria regime is suggested as well and there are many pills available that are taken daily or weekly. Some are better than others so check with your doctor or local travel immunization center to see what is best for you.
