Other tours to consider are those that visit Salvador Lake or Anavilhanas Archipelago. Lake Salvador is only 45 minutes away from Manaus. A small motor boat travels along the igarape (flooded woodlands) to the lake that is part of a natural reserve where tapirs, capybaras, jaguars, monkeys, snakes and birds can be seen. There are alligators and piranhas in the lake. You can fish or hike along a forest trail. The Anavilhanas Islands are 60 km/37 miles from Manaus. There are over 380 islands, making it the world’s largest freshwater archipelago. You’ll see lots of birds. The area is an ecological reserve and ecotourism park. Nighttime tours are also offered.
