Our final destination for the day is the Aracá River. Late that afternoon, we will board smaller motorized canoes to observe pink dolphins, a real treat. These are very friendly fresh water dolphins of bright pink color and long necks. All meals will be served on the boat. We will sleep on hammocks with mosquito netting or in a cabin with aircondition.

Along the way, we will stop by a lake called tracajá, a great spot for a first night out by motorized canoes, and to spot alligators, snakes, owls, and night crawlers. Return to the boat for the evening.

Day 5: After breakfast, we will trek to learn jungle surviving techniques, how to obtain water, food, fire, and medicinal plants. Lunch will be cooked on location on open fire. In the afternoon, we will visit with people from a small community to learn about their customs, how they make manioc starch and bread, and about their daily lives. We will canoe late in the afternoon to observe toucans, macaws and other bird fauna of the region. We will toast the evening with caipirinhas (a Brazilian sweet lime spirit) and passion fruit cocktails before dinner. This will bee a very typical meal with fish cooked over fire wood.
