Access the narrow creeks and flooded forests of the Amazon by paddle canoe, only the lookout for pink dolphin.
Paddle canoes are great for exploring some of the otherwise inaccessible narrows creeks and flooded forests of the Amazon. As well as their small size, they are also much quieter than the motorized versions and so less likely to scare off any wildlife. One animal you could encounter on your canoe excursion could be the majestic pink river dolphin, whilst monkeys, sloths and exotic birds could also make an appearance. There might also be opportunities to swim in parts of the water.
