One of our local experts in Brazil will make this the perfect trip for you!

Experience the magic of the Amazon while staying at this unique floating lodge located in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve. In the dry season, you'll hike forest trails in search of rare birds & wildlife like the red-face uakari monkey. You'll also learn about human life in the Amazon with visits to communities guided by local residents. During the wet season, you'll explore similar areas by canoe! The lodge rises with the waters and you'll glide along waterways through flooded forests for more unique rainforest experiences. No matter the season, your stay will immerse you in the beauty of the rainforest and it will directly contribute to it's preservation. The lodge is run by a coalition of 8 local communities with a deep commitment to sustaining nature in the area.
