what travelers say
Testimony from those who have already lived this experience
Vânia Galceran – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)It was a jump in the infinite green of the world. I could never imagine that I would land on sacred ground like the Alter do Chão and Tapajós National Forest, even less that I would meet people who would stay in my life forever and that my experience with the inhabitants of the region would impel me to take one of the most important steps of the my life.
Elisete Peixoto de Lima – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)Vivalá provides us with moments of relaxation, fun, culture, reflection and effective action together with the communities, helping us to build a sense of belonging and solidarity. They always surprise us by going beyond what they propose with great seriousness, sensitivity and respect. I recommend it for any age and for families.

Fernanda Magnello – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)Travelling with Vivalá was amazing! In just a few days I had very different experiences. The interaction with the communities, the culture, the history of the place and the contact with nature make each expedition unique. It is a deep immersion in our beautiful country.

Guilherme Tetamanti – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)I am an experienced traveler, I have visited more than 50 countries in the last 10 years, almost always on my own and with a certain fear of hiring a “package”. But I found Vivalá’s proposal interesting and decided to give it a chance. Seriously, it was one of the coolest trips I’ve ever taken, not only because of the destination itself (which is wonderful), but because of the entire purpose and also because of the incredible people I met. If you have any doubts, give it a chance too 🙂
Giovanna Alimari – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)
Luiza Veloso – Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)“In my opinion, the coolest thing about a Vivalá Expedition is taking you out of the box, getting in touch with other realities, with traditional people and different cultures. The Tapajós National Forest brought back childhood moments for me. I made friends with riverside dwellers who became like cousins and grandparents to me. We still have contact today and I intend to return as soon as possible to see these people again!”
Amanda V. – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)“Incredible trip that brings us an experience of the beauties of Pará and how the local communities live! I was impressed with Vivalá’s trip and itinerary!! I highly recommend the tour! This was certainly a trip that made an impression on me! I loved it!”
Renata B. – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)“One of the best experiences of my life. Incredible place, wonderful people and impeccable Vivalá organization! I recommend it so much that I’ve already been twice and I’m planning a third trip for next year.”
Ramda A. – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)“Wonderful experience, living with the riverside community, beautiful place, the boat descent to Alter do Chão, passing by beautiful beaches, meeting new people. It was a wonderful moment to participate in this expedition, so much so that I already went on another Vivalá expedition, and I intend to participate in all expeditions.”
Rodrigo R. – Expedição Amazônia Rio Tapajós (English)“One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in Brazil and it was an even grander trip with Vivalá taking us to get to know the riverside communities, the locals who are incredible people and the people you meet along the trip with the same affinities. I recommend this itinerary like all the others they have, I travel frequently with them because of everything I’ve described here, it’s totally worth it.”
