Cristalino Lodge

Cristalino Lodge is located on a private natural reserve in the southern Amazon. Providing the best stay experiences and following protocols to preserve the forest, it’s considered one of most notorious ecolodges in the world by National Geographic.

The Cristalino RPPN (Private National Heritage Reserve) is the second largest private reserve in the rainforest, ranging 27,000 acres — twice the size of Manhattan Island (NY). The rich fauna stands out: over 600 species of birds and dozens of mammals, including monkeys, giant river otters, peccaries and tapirs.

If you adore birdwatching or any kind of wildlife watching, then you’ll go crazy over the 50-meter (164 ft) observation towers that offer a mesmerizing view of the forest. Sunrises and sunsets from this height are life-changing!

After a full day of hiking or canoeing on Teles Pires and Cristalino rivers, guests go back to luxury facilities, including sophisticated bungalows and elegant common areas (reading and conferences rooms, a local cuisine restaurant, a bar and the beloved floating deck).

• Location: Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso
• Access: 40-minute drive from Alta Floresta + boat trip

Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge

Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge could be named one of the finest Amazon lodges in Brazil simply for its location — in the heart of the Anavilhanas National Park, the world’s second-largest river archipelago —, but there’s much more to this extraordinary place.

Create unforgettable memories by joining adventure-packed activities, such as hiking, boat rides, recreational fishing, night expeditions, cave exploration, sunset tours, etc. Keep your eyes open to spot caimans, colorful macaws, friendly river dolphins and other fascinating creatures!

In terms of facilities, this Amazon jungle hotel has it all: refined bungalows and chalets with TVs, minifridges, air conditioning, Wi-Fi connection, hot showers and private balconies with panoramic views.

You can also swim in the pool, go to the gym, get a relaxing massage, eat delicious Brazilian dishes, or have a drink at the floating bar. Who knew the Amazon could be so luxurious?

• Location: Novo Airão, Amazonas
• Access: 3 hours from Manaus (road + boat)

 

Juma Amazon Lodge

When we mention the Amazon Rainforest hotels, Juma Amazon Lodge is a must-visit place for every nature lover.

Based on sustainable practices, like solar energy, wastewater treatment and recycling, Juma is eco-friendly, but doesn’t leave a high-end experience behind. Wonderful accommodations are built on stilts nearly 15 meters (49 ft) high. The gorgeous bungalows are in the treetops, which offers an immersive experience and helps to avoid the water during seasonal floods.

Enjoy the hotel’s common areas by drinking at the bar, eating traditional Brazilian meals at the restaurant, swimming in the pool or getting a tan at the floating deck.

Thirsty for some adventure? Hike through the jungle, climb trees, go fishing for piranhas, canoe on Amazonian rivers, sign up for night tours, visit indigenous communities and have fun with other activities that will make your heart beat fast!

Mirante do Gavião

Your jaw will drop when you see Mirante do Gavião with your own eyes. The striking architecture design uses wooden arrangements to resemble the wings of a bird of prey. It’s a nod to the lodge’s name, which means “hawk’s lookout”. Clever, huh?

There are three types of accommodations (Premium, Luxury and Tree House), while each room is equipped with air-conditioning, comfy beds, a spacious bathroom and a minibar. Depending on the category, you’ll also find private balconies, hammocks and hot tubs.

Need some action? No problem! This ecolodge has plenty of activities: hiking, water trails, night tours to spot animals, canoeing, cave exploring, and visiting local villages and indigenous communities. 

When you’re not out and about in the forest, you can have fun in the gaming room, relax in the wellness area, jump in the pool or eat a delicious meal made with fresh, local ingredients at Camu-Camu, the lodge’s fine dining restaurant. 

• Location: Novo Airão, Amazonas

Uakari Lodge

There is nothing like Uakari Lodge. Safely built on stilts in the middle of the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, it floats on the waters of the river, giving it a deeper sense of total immersion in nature. One of the best Amazon jungle lodges in Brazil, Lonely Planet included it in a list of unmissable experiences in the rainforest.

Uakari’s sustainable practices are not only directed to the environment (solar energy, rainwater harvesting, recycling…), but they’re also extended to the communities. Operated by the Mamirauá Institute and local leaders, this Amazon Rainforest hotel generate income for riverside groups and create incentives for the conservation of the area’s natural resources.

In addition, beautiful accommodations await. The floating structure includes five bungalows with two suites each — facing the river, they allow fantastic views of the forest. Outside the rooms, guests can enjoy the lovely common areas (deck, restaurant, bar, video room and even a library).

The itinerary consists of a wide range of activities, including night tours, hiking, fishing, visiting local villages, canoeing, boat tours for wildlife watching and much more! 

• Location: Tefé, Amazonas
• Access: Flight from Manaus to Tefé + 1 hour 30 minute boat trip

 

Amazon Turtle Lodge

Looking for something more affordable? Amazon Turtle Lodge is an excellent option for people who want to spend less. But make no mistake: its budget-friendliness does not mean you won’t have the most incredible experiences in the forest!

Near the Guaporé River, the location is perfect to dive deep into nature. Charmingly picturesque, the lodge has three types of bungalows: Rustic, Masonry and Superior — all with comfortable beds, air-conditioning, and private bathrooms. You can also enjoy your meals at the restaurant, get a drink at the bar or have fun in the gaming room or the TV lounge.

The generous list of activities is another reason why this is one of the most outstanding Amazon ecolodges in Brazil: kayaking, stand-up paddling, canoeing, hiking, birdwatching, wildlife spotting, piranha fishing, boat riding to the Meeting of Waters, visiting the local fruit market (Ceasa) and touring nearby villages.

• Location: Careiro, Amazonas

Dolphin Lodge

Living up to its name, Dolphin Lodge is located in a preserved area where dolphins are often spotted, as well as caimans, monkeys, birds, and other beautiful species.

Taking ecotourism to a whole other level, sustainable actions are a massive part of the place, such as employing locals, excursions of low environmental impact, recycling, reduced use of plastics and protocols to preserve the wildlife.

The hotel has six chalets on land and four bungalows on the Memori River, all of them with stunning views. Guests can relax in the straw hut with hammocks and eat delicious Brazilian food served daily by the kitchen staff.
