Juma Hotel LOCATION Juma Lodge is located in a remote and preserved region of 7 thousand hectares, 100 km southeast of Manaus. The trip is done by cars and boats, and lasts an average of three hours passing by the "Meeting of Waters". There is the alternative to hire a seaplane (only 30 minutes). STRUCTURE The hotel was planned to be fully integrated into the forest, offering a genuine Amazonian experience to the guests. The Juma was built on stilts, on the ground, on the bank of Juma Lake. Bungalows There are 08 bungalows with view to the forest and 12 special bungalows turned to the Lake, in the heights of the treetops (15 meters height of water during the drought season), offering total privacy. All bungalows have bathroom, fan and balcony. Restaurant The restaurant was also built on stilts and has an excellent view to the Lake. All meals are served in buffet with regional and international cuisine. Reception The reception desk, located in front of a deck with view to the lake, has a small bar, some games (cards, Backgammon, chess, etc.), books about Amazon forest, crayon for painting and a professional telescope for observation of the moon and the stars. Hammock Area Juma offers a hammock area (space with multiple hammock), which has been required by guests to rest after meals. WEATHER Due to its proximity to the Equator Line(Manaus is 3° S latitude), the temperature in Juma is typically hot, with an annual average around 27 ° C. WHEN TRAVEL? The Amazon region can be visited during the whole year. However, there are two different seasons that may be considered by the tourists: - FULL Season ("Estação da Cheia" in Portuguese): March to August, when water levels rise up to 15 meters. This is the ideal season to visit the igapós(flood forests) in all its beauty. - DRY season ("Estação da Seca" in Portuguese): September to February, the level of rivers reaches its lowest point, shrinking the space for fish and making fishing easier, as well as Caiman spotting. IMPORTANT - Juma is located in a region of dark waters, so not proper for the proliferation of mosquitoes. By the other hand, because of its localization in the middle of the jungle, it is recommended (not required) to take yellow fever vaccines and tetanus. - Juma has regular phone for communication. - For limited space in transfer, we ask you not to bring luggage with more than 10 kg (Juma provides bags, so guest can leave the heavy luggage in Manaus). - Bring swimming suite, t-shirt, two pairs of shoes, cap, sleeved shirt, trousers, insect repellant, sun block, raincoat, camera, flashlight and binoculars. EXCURSIONS Juma offers several excursions through the Amazon region and they are already included in the packages. All of them are accompanied by guides. Check the excursions description. TRANSPORTATION The transportation to Juma Hotel will be passing in the hotels in Manaus between 6:30 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. to take you up to the Ceasa Port in the Industrial District. In the Port, we will take a boat to cross the meeting of waters arriving in Careiro village 30 minutes later. Possibility of observe some Botos (river dolphins) - Boto Tucuxi (Sotalia Fluviatalis) and Boto Cor de Rosa (Inia Geoffrensis). From Careiro to Massarico River, it is 60 minutes more by car in highway BR 319. This road use to connect Manaus with Transamazônica Highway, but nowadays it practically does not exist anymore. Even BR 319 is not accessible during in rainy season specially in its south part. 90 minutes by boat from Massarico River navigating by rivers and igarapés (small creeks), close the first time with the pristine forest. The transfers are performed with all safety and comfort conditions. The boats are equipped with roof to protect of sun and life jackets.
