on the boat from supplies taken aboard in Manaus and sometimes
caught fresh on the way. Foodstuffs that need it are preserved
in freezers or refrigerators. The water served on board
is mineral water. The meals are generous and varied, basically
consisting of local cuisine where fish plays a strong
role and many times is caught on the way.
Personal Gear Recommendations:
although the climate is considered hot and damp
all year round (80-85 Fahrenheit, 30-34 Celsius) it can
be surprisingly cool at night in the jungle or on the
river. Most of the time passengers will find themselves
wearing light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, bathing
suits and sandals, but for the hikes in the forest they
should also have a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, light
jacket, good footwear (tennis or hiking boots), small
flashlight, binoculars, and personal effects.
