DESTINATION
Novo Airão is a small Amazon town with a privileged location: it sits between two of the best-preserved national parks in the Brazilian Amazon, Anavilhanas and Jaú, on the banks of the Rio Negro. That makes it one of the best bases for travelers who want to explore the region in depth.
About three hours by car from Manaus, the gateway city to the Brazilian Amazon, Novo Airão combines untouched nature with the comfort of a real town. You can navigate river archipelagos, hike forest trails, and relax on freshwater beaches, then return at the end of the day to a quiet town with a main square, restaurants, and good places to stay.
It’s a destination for travelers who want genuine contact with the Amazon without giving up comfort and well-organized logistics.
One of the largest river archipelagos in the world, with hundreds of islands, rainforest streams, and a biodiversity all its own. You can navigate between the islands, hike, and observe wildlife up close.
One of the largest tropical-forest parks on the planet, reachable only by boat. It holds archaeological sites, waterfalls such as Carabinani, forest trails, and the chance to spend the night deep in the wild.
Rock formations reached by a trail through the forest, one of the most sought-after land-based experiences in the region.
Pale-sand beaches meeting dark water, such as Praia do Camaleão, ideal for relaxing and watching the Amazon sunset.
Beyond the tours, the town of Novo Airão itself offers a calm experience, with a main square, restaurants, and a window into everyday river life.
Poranduba organizes itineraries for Novo Airão ranging from a two-day trip to a fuller expedition, always with transport from Manaus, accommodation, meals, and a local guide.
The shorter itineraries combine Anavilhanas National Park with the trails of the Madadá Caves, a good entry point for travelers who want the best of the region in a short time. The longer expeditions push on to Jaú National Park, with navigation through remote areas, archaeological sites, waterfalls, forest trails, and overnights in the wild, for those after a deeper, more adventurous immersion.
All packages are private and include the full logistics, from the Manaus transfer to Poranduba team support throughout the trip. What sets them apart is the length, the level of immersion, and the parks each itinerary reaches.
