Craving adventure that speaks to your independent spirit? From the rhythm of the samba to the rumble in the jungle, this Globus Independent tour in Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian Amazon is a step in the right direction. And, while it takes two to Tango, it only takes you to choreograph the perfect way to spend your day with the free time you crave. Start the fun with a trip to the wilds of the Brazilian Amazon. Touch down in Manaus, gateway to Brazil's Amazon, for a private, guided sightseeing tour with a local expert to envision the rubber boom days. Stand at the “Meeting of the Waters” where the chocolate-hued Rio Negro flows side by side with the amber Rio Solimões. Take Naturalist-guided walks and visit with native Caboclos in the breathtaking Brazilian Amazon. Next, discover how Rio sizzles with Brazilian barbecue, beaches, and bustling nightlife, and a breathtaking view atop Corcovado Mountain where the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue stands watch. With the freedom to fill your free time with Latin flair and adventure, you’ll be swaying to the samba in no time! Treat yourself to a tour that is exclusively yours with free time, me time, and optional adventures that speak to your independent spirit!

• Today, your “Meeting of the Waters” cruise passes by the impressive British-built Customs House and the floating port. Cruise along the chocolate-hued Rio Negro to its confluence with the yellow-gray Rio Solimões, where the two rivers form the mighty Amazon. For four miles, the differently shaded bodies of water flow side by side and never mix! • After lunch on the river, explore a jungle island (seasonal) with fascinating native flora and fauna. • Later this afternoon, arrive at the ecolodge, situated on the banks of the Rio Negro inside the Amazon rainforest.
