Contact Ron Speed Jr’s Adventures to setup round-trip flight from Miami to Manaus, Brazil (earlier arrangements can get better pricing)
Setup round-trip flight from your hometown to Miami for connection (Tip: choose an earlier flight in the day to have backup options in case winter weather causes delays)
At least 120 days before your trip make sure your Passport is valid and does not expire before or during your trip
At least 90 days before your trip apply for your Brazilian VISA. Contact Ron Speed Jr’s Adventures for assistance to make this required step smooth and quick as possible
Check your airlines weight and size restrictions when planning your clothing and equipment packing
