Ecological Tour

A tour of Manaus, continuing on to INPA – the National Institute for Amazonian Research – an important scientific institution with more than 40 years of studies and research on a wide range of subjects in the region. Located on a wonderful campus, it has a botanical garden with many trails that introduce visitors to the various species of biodiversity found in the rainforest. The Botanical Garden is also the subject of studies and projects at the Institute. The visit includes a walking tour of the Institute’s gardens, to give visitors an insight into the fauna and flora of the Amazon.
Next, a visit to the Museum of Natural Sciences, where it is possible to see an aquarium with river fish, normally caught by the indigenous people of the region, the only place with a collection focusing on life in the water of the Amazon River and its tributaries. The museum also has a collection of multicolored insects and butterflies. After a quick tour of the most modern part of Manaus, return to the hotel.
