Are you interested in seeing animals in the Amazon? Well, welcome to Maica Lake, located in the east of Santarém. You'll learn the history of the confederate families that ended up in the Amazon after the Civil War and will understand why Victorian naturalists such as Henry Walter Bates, Alfred Russel Wallace and Richard Spruce extensively visited Maica. You'll see the oldest rubber plantation in Santarém too! The variety of animals that we can spot in Maica is huge. We will be able to see small birds such as Amazon Kingfisher, Yellow-billed Tern, Oriole Blackbird as well as amazing hawks like Savanna Hawk, Black-collared hawk and Yellow-headed Caracara. We may also come across very special birds like Toucans, Yellow-rumped caciques and a prehistoric bird called Hoatzin. In addition to that, we will try to spot black howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, three-toed sloths and iguanas. All of this on a comfortable wooden boat! The following itinerary could be customized to best meet your specific preferences:
-For people lodged here: I'll pick you up at your hotel or point of preference. -For cruise ship passengers: I'll pick you up inside the port and will get you to the boat. -We'll start by seeing the meeting of waters and understanding why the waters do not mix it. -We'll see some parts of Santarém and learn of its history. -Around 45 mins later, we'll reach the entrance of Maica, so keep an eye on the water because you might spot dolphins! -We'll enter Maica and start spotting a variety of birds. -Once there, we'll get a speedboat and will be able to enter even deeper into Maica where a normal boat cannot go, to spot the animals even closer and to try to find the prehistoric animal Hoatzin! -After this speedboat tour, we will get back to our original boat and have an Amazonian lunch prepared by our local chef, accompanied by an amazing view of the jungle and the river. -After lunch we'll go back to Santarem. -We'll drop you at the port or in the same original location that we started the tour from.
