Amorim Cove Private Boat Tour: Secret Lagoon & Forest Canopy Walk

Discover the secluded Amorim Cove — a hidden emerald lagoon tucked within dense Amazon forest — reachable only by private boat. Rated a perfect 5.0 stars, this is Alter do Chão's best-kept secret and one of its most visually arresting experiences.

What to expect

Your private boat threads through narrow water channels lined with overhanging trees before opening into the glassy, jewel-green Amorim lagoon — a scene of extraordinary, hushed beauty. Slip into the warm, clear water for a swim surrounded by forest, or paddle a canoe deeper into the cove's tributaries. Your guide identifies the astonishing diversity of birds and wildlife that gather here undisturbed. The experience combines the best of water, forest, and pure Amazonian tranquility in a single, seamless journey. With a perfect 5-star rating, this is a genuine hidden gem that rewards those who seek it out.

Good to know

Full-day tour, approximately 8 hours. Amorim can be combined with the Jari Canal for an ultimate full-day private boat experience — ask your operator. Bring waterproof sandals, a dry bag, and a good zoom lens for wildlife photography. Pre-book well in advance as this small-group experience has very limited availability on port days.
