Totally worth the last waterfall
Walking barefoot in the water from one waterfall to another in a swimsuit in the Amazon, who would have thought!

Great use of my day in Manaus
Wonderful experience, refreshing to be in the water and beautiful scenery. Couple of points - we wanted an English tour, our guide did speak English and was fantastic - however, the first stop is guided by another group who did not speak English. Also - spend the $1-2 and get the rubber boots! Second - there is no place to ever change into dry clothes, and DO wear your swim suit. Third - when you stop for lunch, find out when you are leaving, eat quickly and get down to the river. We mistakenly thought we were going down with the group and then missed out. And lastly - this ended up being closer to 11 hours, so just be aware of that. In all, I would do it again.
