This moving expedition offers a rare chance to connect with the forest and its people, navigating the Rio Negro and the Anavilhanas Archipelago, encountering astonishing biodiversity, and engaging with riverside communities whose resilience and harmony with nature reflect the themes of Salgado’s Genesis project. The Dorinha vessel becomes both your base and your lens: a floating home that lets you drift into the Amazon’s rhythms, surrounded by mirror-like waters and the sounds of the jungle.
Whether you’re gliding silently past flooded forests, spotting pink dolphins in golden light, or waking to the calls of howler monkeys echoing through the mist, this is an invitation to witness the Amazon as Salgado did, with reverence, curiosity, and a profound sense of wonder.
During your time onboard you will be accompanied by cultural facilitator Sitah, whose work brings a thoughtful and deeply respectful perspective to exploring the Amazon. Drawing on years of artistic and anthropological research and more than a decade of expeditions throughout the region, Sitah helps create meaningful connections between travellers, the forest, and the riverside communities who call this landscape home. Through conversations on photography, visual anthropology, and the cultural significance of the territory, she invites participants to engage more consciously with the environment and the knowledge systems that shape life along the Amazon’s waterways. Her long-standing relationships with local communities allow for authentic and sensitive encounters, enriching the experience with personal insights and stories from the region.
