Manaus, Speedboat-Ride, Rio Negro, Paricatuba Village, Jacaréubal, Pink Dolphins
Leave the pier aboard a local speedboat for an approximately 90-minute scenic cruise along the Rio Negro en route to a riverside community in the Jacaréubal region. A few years ago, two local girls came to feed the resident pink, and now very famous, dolphins on a floating dock. Since then, these beautiful cetaceans have become accustomed to receiving human visitors and are thermal, although they live in wild areas and protected by the local environmental protection association.

Interact with the Dolphins
Your visit to this Jacaréubal community offers a unique opportunity to see and interact with dolphins from an underwater platform.

Paricatuba Village
After meeting the dolphins, board your speedboats again and sail through the Jacaréubau canals until you reach the village of Paricatuba, where there is time available for you to visit the local community and get to know the ruins and history of a leprosy hospital built in the middle of the jungle.
At the end of the visit, board your speedboat and begin the approximately 90-minute journey back to the pier.
