The legendary Amazon is one of the planets enigmas. It is the worlds largest river basin, and also the planets greatest rainforest.

Two of the best places to see some of this incredible wildlife are at the Amazonat Jungle Lodge and the Uacari Lodge.

The Amazonat Lodge was built with great sensitivity to the landscape and concern for the preservation of the environment. Constructed from environmentally approved wood and using screens for windows, the Amazonat Jungle Lodge will enhance your contact with the surrounding nature. Offering walking trails, bird watching tours, boat tours, jungle night treks and survival tours. This Lodge is a truly unique place, situated only one and a half hours drive from Manaus.
