ABOUT THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON

THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON 

By Thales Barizon – CEO T7M GROUP

Tourism in the Amazon is a different route for those looking for “a trip with purpose” and contact with the still untouched nature of our planet earth.

The Amazon is a tourism that has been gaining strength in our Brazil and providing this to people is very rewarding, every trip I do with the Amazon is an expo experience, I know that I have helped new people find their purpose in that “sacred little place in our Brazil” , is an emotional healing trip, everyone should know the Amazon.

 

The expeditions that @amazoniaexxperience organizes are immersions for an encounter with destiny. These are trips with meaning and purpose.

 

It's not traveling anywhere, it's traveling to the Brazilian Amazon.

 

The only place on the planet, with the greatest biodiversity in animal species, the largest watershed on the planet, the largest database of species genes on the planet.

"BREATHE DEEP, YOU'RE IN THE AMAZON".

This is a phrase that we use when people arrive in the Amazon and are faced with immense trees and that immensity of fresh waters of the Anavilhanas archipelago that just being there to feel the energy of that place. In these last four years we have taken several groups to get to know the Brazilian Amazon and when I say this it is because the Amazon stretches between (Colombia, Peru and other countries in South America) with its 5,500,000km2 of extension, it is considered the largest tropical forest in the world. planet Earth.

Tourism in the Amazon is incredible for those who like to see “wild” life, you will have the opportunity to enter the forests with the guides specialized in wildlife and survival in the jungle, until you go to an indigenous tribe to be baptized in the ritualistic cult “Dessana ” which is the local indigenous tribe that allows tourists to interact with their people and their religious customs, participating in dances to trying snuff and ayahuasca and eating ant.

It really is an experience with the indigenous people, whoever chooses to do a body painting, is also allowed with their sacred herbs and natural paints for women to make paintings with tribal drawings strengthening “the spirit that lives there”.

The amazon exxperience trip begins with a direct transfer to the hotel www.amazoniaexxperience.com , picking up the group at Manaus- Eduardo Gomes International Airport, and then the adventure begins with two hours until arriving at the jungle hotel in the middle of the forest, with a scenario like those Indian Jones movies that we see in those series, or even like the movie Anaconda that for those who don't know was recorded in a hotel in the Amazon that today the famous jungle hotel “ariaú tower hotel” that was a symbol of tourism no longer exists. in the 90's attracting big celebrities to the Amazon like Jimmy Carter, French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, billionaire Bill Gates, actors Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Costner, and many other celebrities.

Diving in the Amazon River

 

Diving is one of the great activities that we are pleased to spread, it is unique and deserves to be publicized, having the opportunity to dive in the waters of the Amazon River, it is unique and many scholars such as Jacques Cousteau dived into its rivers to have great encounters and power understand what really happens to our planet earth and the importance of environmental preservation.

For those who like activities, the Amazon is the ideal place, as you end up doing up to three activities a day that last all day. The activities most sought after by tourists is the visit to the largest tree in the Amazon called samaúma or mother tree, it is a tree sacred by the natives where it presents a connection between the forest and its inhabitants. Imagining that “Avatar” movie where the mother tree presents a connection to the natives is like being in the Amazon more in real life. It really seems like another world, what we only look at in Discovery channel magazines and documentaries, starts to become reality the expedition begins with that incredible energy of a dream come true, finally being able to know the “Amazon”.

Rest assured that you will not be swallowed by an alligator or bitten by an anaconda, there is a lot of legend behind it, the river has its mysteries and deserves a scuba dive to see it all up close and take your own experience and you will definitely want to come back, take a trip with the Amazon exxperience to make that dream of diving in the amazon river come true.

Its waters with 28 degrees and the river bottom with white sands and its reddish water due to the decomposition of the leaves form an ideal scenario to imagine those National Geographic documentary expeditions. When we immerse ourselves we come across leaves and branches, which are part of the fauna of the Amazon that in the high river season, this vegetation is submerged forming large shelters for fish and decomposing forming the reddish water present in the "black river".

In the Amazon we have the Rio Negro, which is an acidic river where there is no proliferation of mosquitoes due to the presence of acid from the decomposition of the leaves, so hotels that stay in the Rio Negro do not have mosquitoes, you can rest assured and this is a differential of our hotel of jungle Amazonia exxperience.

The most incredible encounter is with the pink dolphins, a unique species on the planet that can only be found in the Amazon, a different species with a pinkish hue and a different body from dolphins, as they adapted to be in that river in their evolution.

Jacques Cousteau was in the Amazon to exclusively study this species where he made a dive in the Rio Negro and classified it as “inia geoffrensis”, scientific name and called “Boto cor de rosa” by the local natives and riverside dwellers.

They are amazing and very curious animals, they love human interaction, they are very sociable, different from other "dolphins" that also exist in the Amazon river that are wild and have no proximity to human contact. It is believed that the Amazon river dolphins came from the seas and adapted perfectly here.

I like to pass on to every tourist who embarks on the Amazon travel expedition is a message that “The Amazon is one of the few places in the world where dolphins are free” they are not trapped in captivity or “Dolphinarios” as they exist in other places in the world like Cancun, Cozumel that are strong in this type of dolphin tourism.

In the Amazon the “dolphins and porpoises” are free to interact with humans if they want, they live free in the river, there are days when you can be lucky to have more than 10 individuals to interact with you and there are days when you can only have three. .

  “The interaction depends only on the will of the animals”

Embarking for the trip in the Amazon is an adventure that starts from when we are packing our bags until boarding for the airport with that anxiety and butterflies in the belly. And it's always that question we ask ourselves on trips, "what will the energy of that place be like?"

 

If you are looking for a trip with an emotional purpose and an experience purpose, the Amazon exxperience certainly has all the activities for you to fulfill the dream of getting to know this paradise that is inside our Brazil.

The best times to get to know the Brazilian Amazon are in July when the river is full and in September when the river is starting to recede, December has the famous event at the hotel in the Amazon, in the new year which is a beautiful event of coaching, of resignification and meeting with fate.

 

Where it involves a lot of meditation and yoga at the hotel, these are the tips for those who want to get to know the Amazon, put it on the calendar of “dream trips and trips” and throw themselves into the Amazon rainforest.
