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.

Juma Lodge

Juma Lodge is one of the finest wildlife viewing lodges in the Amazon around Manaus. Its location on a tributary of the Rio Solimoes, three hours by boat from the city, gives guests the best possible chance of close encounters with Amazon marine, land and bird-life. The remote area is one of pristine Amazon Rainforest, while the Rio Solimoes system shelters more species than the Rio Negro, the other great tributary of the Amazon River. Juma is totally integrated with the Amazon Rainforest environment, and the small lodge provides many activities for the small groups to enjoy, specialising in sport fishing for such species as the peacock bass and dourado. For those who want to experience a high-end wildlife experience yet still have that Amazon feel, Juma Lodge is perfect.
