Comes with us Go Birding at Marchantaria Island with us. The Marchantaria Island is located at Iranduba Town, about 45 minutes by boat from Manaus on the Solimões River. It is an island of silt that was formed by deposition of sediments carried from the Andes for many years. This island has a variety of specialties found only in this interesting habitat. Most of these birds are dependent of secondary vegetation that changed, according to the composition and structure through time. As the vegetation matures, one special bird after another drops out, moving to more suitable habitat on younger islands. Places that were excellent for certain species several years ago are no longer inhabited. We are offering an excellent birdwatching day around Marchantaria Island. Conversely, new islands that were little more than sandbars a few years back, are now excellent places to look for some of the most special birds. We will depart from Manaus at 5:00 am from fluvial port, and we spending a full day exploring the island. For this tour we will take a snack and water for the day all. Our Birtrip will be made (1) canoeing during the full season only or (2) walking forest edge and canoeing if our trip happen in  summer or half summer.
