Manaus & Natal

The city of Manaus, on the banks of the mighty Amazon River, has a lot to offer and Fernanda is taken on an unforgettable boat trip to truly discover the remoteness of Amazonia. She experiences magical moments with baby dolphins, a three-toed sloth, capuchin monkeys and an anaconda. She is then treated to a tribal feast and heads deeper into the forest to see the endangered pink river dolphins or botos. Heading north, Fernanda stops in at Natal. It used to be a sleepy fishing village but tourism boomed when Europeans began arriving in huge numbers to take advantage of the natural beauty of the area. She meets a salt-of-the-earth fisherman still trying to make a living among the hotels and tourists. Most people come to Natal for its massive sand dunes, beautiful beaches and stunning reef – and it is ideal for the adventurous.
