The Rio Jatapu is a major tributary of the Uatumã River, situated within the Amazon River basin in the eastern portion of the state of Amazonas, Brazil. This river offers a multi-day expeditionary paddling experience, with guided kayaking trips ranging from 1 to 10 days, including an 8-day itinerary. The river flows through lush, untouched rainforest, presenting a classic Amazon jungle scenery. Access typically involves a significant overland journey from the city of Manaus, with a 360-kilometer (225-mile) route combining asphalt and dirt roads. The primary activity is guided kayaking, often combined with camping in the jungle. The overall character is that of a remote, immersive wilderness adventure focused on exploring pristine natural surroundings. The river is actively promoted for extended, guided kayak expeditions originating from the Manaus area.
