Overview

Embark on a transformational journey into the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, one of the planet’s most biodiverse and awe-inspiring ecosystems. This unique expedition blends mindful movement, cultural immersion, and wild-water adventure as you explore the majestic Rio Negro and its network of rivers, lakes, and jungle waterways aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned riverboat.

Begin each day with energizing yoga and meditation, then paddle through mirrored waters on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or glide silently in a traditional canoe. Encounter vibrant wildlife, lush rainforest landscapes, and local culture in ways only accessible from the river.

Perfect for all levels — from beginners to seasoned paddlers and yogis — this expedition blends well-being, wildlife, cultural immersion, and adventure. No prior SUP or yoga experience is required.
