Amazon Jungle Lodges

Immerse yourself in the Amazon Jungle at one of our Amazon Lodges. Arrive boat and stay at the very edge of the largest river system in the world. Wake up every morning to the staggering sound of the Amazon Dawn Chorus. Witness wildlife such as monkeys, toucans, macaws and even the Amazon River dolphins at such close quarters that they may even become your friends. Trek into the jungle to learn the secrets of the rainforest and how to survive in it. Paddle canoes day and night along the quiet creeks for close-up encounters with caimans. Swing in a hammock at the end of another amazing day in the Amazon Jungle while staying at an Amazon Lodge with Brazil Adventure Tours.

Amazon Ecopark Lodge

Amazon Ecopark Lodge is one of the most popular, accessible lodges in the Manaus area. It lies only a short boat ride from the city, yet it still sits in pristine Amazon Jungle, on the Rio Taruma, a tributary of the Rio Negro. The lodge also has the Monkey Jungle Reserve on an island in the river, which is dedicated to the rehabilitation of primates, usually confiscated from illegal animal trafficking. There are trails around the island, and also around the lodge, with freshwater bathing pools and streams in the surrounding virgin forest that guests can visit at leisure. The lodge sits on its own river beach, meaning that swimming in the Amazon River is possible for most visitors. The lodge excursions with local guides are always very highly recommended, and the lodge treats our clients very well. Brazil Adventure Tours has no hesitation in continuing to recommend Amazon Ecopark Lodge as one of our favoured Amazon options.

Itinerary

Day 1
Over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus

Destination: Manaus

Your flight takes you over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus, flying above miles of nothing but green jungle and silver rivers for the final hour or more. The sight of nothing but trees is a special one if the rainforest cloud clears for you. On arrival in the city, you will be met for transfer to your hotel in the city. A tour of Manaus takes in the amazing array of Amazon produce at the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market and the Floating Dock on the edge of the Rio Negro. You will then visit the Amazon Theatre, the symbol of the city built during the rubber boom that made Manaus famous around the world. You return to your hotel after the tour with the evening free.
Day 2
Journey to the Jungle

Destination: Manaus to Amazon Ecopark Lodge

In the morning you will be picked up at your hotel for the one hour boat ride up the Rio Negro to Amazon Ecopark Lodge. After a welcome drink you can visit the Monkey Jungle Reserve on an island dedicated to the rehabilitation of Amazon primates that have been confiscated from illegal sales and exports. Macaws, parrots, toucans and huge butterflies are also seen regularly around the lodge. After an Amazon sunset a guide will take you on a canoe trip to spot caiman alligators, the largest reptile in South America, along the edges of the river before you settle into your cabin and fall asleep to the sounds of the Amazon Jungle all around you.
Day 3
Explore the Amazon Jungle

Destination: Amazon Ecopark Lodge

After breakfast you head into the Amazon Jungle on a guided trek along the trails in the area. Your expert bilingual guide will show you some of the immense variety of flora and fauna that make up the largest ecosystem on earth, and will also teach you some of the techniques that have enabled people to survive in the dense jungle for millennia with traditional Amazonian Indian hunting tools like bows, arrows and blowpipes. After lunch, a motorized canoe takes you on to visit a local village and learn about the way of life for Amazon people, with an opportunity to fish for piranha before returning to the lodge for the evening.
Day 4
The Meeting of the Waters

Destination: Amazon Ecopark Lodge

A full day on the Amazon River takes you to see the Meeting of the Waters, a bizarre natural phenomenon that occurs downstream from Manaus. Two huge rivers, the Negro and the Solimoes, meet to form the mighty Amazon. Different water densities of the rivers mean that they flow at different speeds and have noticeably different temperatures. As a result the rivers refuse to mix, meaning that the center of the Amazon River has water of two distinct colors for around 8km. The tour also visits a rubber plantation for you to learn about the extracting latex from the rubber tree and the process of curing it, which led to the 19th Century rubber boom.
Day 5
Amazon Surivors

Destination: Amazon Ecopark Lodge

A possible extra option while staying at Amazon Ecopark is to take a Jungle Survival course with a survival expert. You learn how to construct shelters and search for water, food and any medicinal plants that might help to make your time in the jungle more comfortable. After a 2hr hike through the rainforest, you reach the spot where you will learn the techniques required. You can also take the option to stay overnight in the jungle too, sleeping in hammocks strung up in the shelter. Spending a night under the canopy of the largest jungle on earth is a special experience. You have a similar walk back to the lodge, although a different trail may be used.
Day 6
Flying Away from The Amazon

Destination: Amazon Ecopark Lodge to Manaus & Away

After breakfast, you begin the journey from Amazon Ecopark Lodge back to the Real World. The morning boat takes you back to the pier, where you drive on to the airport in Manaus. From there, you can fly either directly away from Brazil to the north, travel on to another of our wonderful Brazil destinations, or you can fly on to Sao Paulo, Rio or Brasilia and connect with international flights there. Your journey home gives you chance to reflect on the natural wonders encountered during your trip which leave special memories of the Amazon Rainforest.
