Amazon Adventure

Amazon Adventure takes you on an incredible journey into the Amazon heartland to visit local communities on a river boat cruise, enjoy daily hikes, canoe rides, trails and meet local communities to experience this region at its authentic best. Be prepared for a unique tour into one of the most majestic regions on our planet for a tour that will amaze you.

Green Stone Journeys partners with a local organization working in eco-tourism projects in the region. The project values and develops positive relations with the local communities to encourage ecological and sustainable travel. Designed to create awareness of these communities and to complement their daily and sustainable activities such as fishing and farming, this eco-tourism experience is an unforgettable journey that supports and sustains local livelihoods.

Accommodation will be pousadas in Santaram and Alter de Chão before and after the Amazon tour while enjoying hammocks under the stars on a river boat and in lodging at the local communities we visit during the 4-night Amazon boat tour. The Amazon boat tour includes all meals such as fresh fruits, fish, meat and other local vegetables from the region. Activities include a visit to the communal honey production and fish farm project, a handicrafts workshop and an interpretative hike with local guides through the jungle to explore the lush natural environment.

fabiana "I had great time on the tour, all was very professional and organized and the location and meals were amazing. The yoga teacher was the best I ever had and the whole team was incredible and I enjoyed every minute. It was perfect in all aspects and above my expectations, for sure an unforgettable experience."

15394_10153090853741291_4377406819819870133_n 2 The yoga teacher was great – she quickly gaged our levels of experience and went at the perfect pace to ensure we felt comfortable. She was friendly, approachable and very calming with her instructions. The beach house was lovely. Spacious, clean, well kept and presented. The cook was brilliant and the quality and quantity of food was first class and we definitely never went hungry! The group of people on the tour really made it special for me. It was so nice to go away as a solo traveller and come away feeling like you had made a whole new group of friends! I will never forget the beauty of the island – the sounds, sights and how it made me feel emotionally. I was able to forget about everything back home and just ‘be!’ The whole experience was brilliant – it really was a journey of discovery!

10612679_10153196536509358_7755434750267590017_n The personal touch was the most enjoyable aspect of the tour. I felt a thousand times more relaxed and whole after a week. The change was really noticeable and the feeling of being looked after really set me up to have space to nurture myself, which I find hard to come by in daily life.

1524823_10201236367368117_741238960_n As a custom tour experience with GSJ the programs were adjusted for my preference and for weather, and it felt like I had someone to help me personally organize the things I wanted to do and accompany me along the way. The most I enjoyed about my experience were the yoga sessions. All of the instructors were fantastic and have inspired me to reignite my practice long term. I can't say enough about how amazing the sessions were. The local guide was also very knowledgeable and friendly and locations were beautiful with great breakfasts. The optional massages were also fantastic, it seems GSJ knows how to find all the best people! I would recommend GSJ tours and travel with them again.

PjhdL5agodZnvz5zxqUBzUGdwn7Q43axpWco_ZHjASILoved, loved, loved this tour! the perfect combination of fun and adventure with amazing yoga, delicious food and gorgeous location. I didn’t want to come home! This tour is perfect if you live in Brazil and want an escape from the city or if you are coming to Brazil for the first time. It’s an amazing way to see beautiful places and travel with people who have the same ideas about travel.
