Amazon Lodge

Amazon Lodge is located 80 km (50 miles) from Manaus, on the south bank of the Amazon River, on the Parana do Mamori River system, upstream from Juma River. The lodge has "Standard Ecological Lodging" classification by the Brazilian Tourism Bureau and is the real ecolodge in the Amazonas for more than 30 years. The Amazon Lodge consists of a central "open air" floating module, where it is so nice to take a swim in the warm river water. The lodge is located inside a private reserve of 337 hectares of unspoiled primary rainforest. It is very beautiful almost lika en ecological park. It´s probably the best lodge location inviting its guest to see and experience the real rainforest.

It is imperative to stay at a lodge at a long distance away from Manaus to be able to really enjoy and experience the real tropical rainforest. Manaus is actually a big city with almost two million inhabitants, so if you stay at a lodge too close to the city you will not be able to really appreciate, experience and admire the real primary rainforest. Moreover, the transfer to the lodge on its own is an amazing and beautiful tour.

There are 18 apartments, which 8 of these are classified as standard with two single beds sharing bathroom, and 8 others with two single beds and private bathroom and two suites with matrimonial beds, all with mosquito screens, 3 central sanitary installations and showers and veranda with hammocks. Total maximum capacity is 36 travelers in double rooms. Fans are available for all rooms. There is a reception and bar - with comfortable sofas, hammocks and chairs, perfect for relaxing before and after excursions. Restaurant - typical architecture - rustic and all mosquito screened with a great atmosphere for experimenting the delicious local cuisine. Recreation area with a large swimming terrace where you can sunbathe, read or relax with nature. The lodge has a generator with 110V energy available at night only. No hot water is available (water temperature is usually 26-32 degrees Celsius). The lights for the rooms, as well as the service area, are supplied by 12 V battery lights.
