Overnight in the community lodge. Day two crosses the Tapajós to Maripá, in the Arapiuns Reserve, for canoeing through flooded forest, then continues to Urucureá, where the women's association weaves baskets from tucumã palm leaves dyed with pigment drawn from forest flowers and fruit. Day three is the Jarí Channel, the brown floodplain of the Amazon and the richest stretch for wildlife on the whole route: iguanas, caiman, river dolphins, monkeys, sloths and thousands of parakeets.
