Visita privada al Bosque de la Ciencia y al Teatro Amazonas en Manaus.

Professional tour operator. Easy/short day for cruise ship passengers. Walk the zoo & Amazon Forest with transportation & entrance fees included. Glaucio spoke good English which was a nice bonus.

We didn't really know what to expect. But so glad we went. Our Driver, whose name I couldn't pronounce, (so we called him Jude), was courteous, and had a lovely clean comfortable car for us, with air-con, a total must in the humid temperature. Bottles of water, as much as we needed were readily available. Our guide, Victor was very knowledgeable, spoke good English, and didn't rush us, he took his time. He was already waiting for us at the hotel we were staying at. We visited a conservation site, which was part of a Reservation. Wild animals were out and about, as well as some which were being studied. We met some biologists who were working there at the time. Part of the research was being undertaken with Manatees and Large Otters. We were guided through the reserve by Victor. I would highly recommend this visit. We saw other wild animals which I don't know the name of. We then went onto Cigs Zoo which wasn't a Zoo as we know it in the UK. This zoo catered for endangered species. There were breeding programs. We saw jaguars and monkeys, turtles and fish, all indigenous to the Amazon. Although no lunch was included, there was a cafe there where we stopped at the end of the tour for a bite to eat and a drink. Jude the driver and Victor the Guide were more than happy to wait for us to do this, even though we had come and they were ready to drive us back to the hotel. I would recommend this tour for all ages

Judson and Julio were wonderful. Julio spoke excellent English and interpreted signs and context in and around CIGS zoo and INPA. I particularly liked INPA. We were invited to enjoy lunch afterwards which was really lovely.
