Caminhos do Rio Negro

Route

The Caminhos do Rio Negro are made up of land and water trails. As for the land trails, they range from short 400-meter trails to 60 km traverses that take up to 4 days, passing through environments that pose the challenge of crossing waterlogged terrain, with rustic campsites and untouched nature. The trails have little variation in elevation. These trails are connected to one another by water trails, which can be traveled by motorized and non-motorized boats. Several water trails pass through the igapó (flooded forest) and link attractions such as the region's beaches and petroglyphs. There is huge potential for developing kayak expeditions along the Caminhos do Rio Negro. This potential is already being explored by some adventurers in their kayaks. Since vehicles of different power can be used, the number of days is an estimate, and the Caminhos can be done in more or fewer days. To travel the trails located within the territory of the Parque Nacional do Jaú and Rio Unini, an entry permit is required, which can be obtained free of charge by e-mail at parnajau@icmbio.gov.br. Likewise, to travel the Trilha Terrestre do Apuaú, in the Parque Nacional de Anavilhanas, the permit can be requested by e-mail at pna@icmbio.gov.br.
