Having the privilege of sailing through the waters of the River Negro, making your debt with the River Solimões, is for a few, a stunning wonder.

The trip itself was good. We saw many interesting sights, the food was great and the trip itself was a cool adventure.
Something I didn't like was that the agency offered transportation to the hotel. But then they sent an Uber (delayed, out of schedule), and in my opinion, it demonstrates their lack of seriousness. It is, as a rule, very poor communication with the Cover who organizes the activity (not Miguel).
In the end, apart from that, the trip was good; we saw a lot and enjoy the whole day.

Like many other reviews, one of the biggest issues is the terrible sound system. We couldn't understand what the guide was saying in English. The operation is quite unsanitary, especially during the last stop where folks were swimming in the river with a pink dolphine that they've enticed to come around with food. The bobbing platform has a bathroom that does not have any running water. The workers simply dump a bucket of river water into the bowl from time to time. It appears that the waste water goes directly into the river where all the guests are swimming with the dolphin. On the positive side, the hot buffet lunch was tasty if you're not too worried about the flies that are buzzing around constantly.
