ACCESS
Terra do Caju is located in the municipality of Autazes, south-east of Manaus. There are 2 ways to get from Manaus to Terra do Caju. The faster option takes about 3 hours and requires several transfers between road and water transport. The more comfortable and authentic option is a 9-hour boat trip from Manaus directly to our project. The boat trip is only possible from the end of February to the middle of September because the water level is too low during the rest of the time.
Option A
The faster 3-hour variant involves various means of transport and works as follows. By ferry from Ceasa (port in Manaus) to Careiro da Várzea, then by bus to Açupuranga (Km 39) and from there by private canoe up the Rio Mamori to our land.
