Ponta Negra

The district Ponta Negra is located by the river. It is a chic neighbourhood with many luxurious buildings for tourists and the wealthy inhabitants. It is a very pleasant place to sleep but also where to go out in the evening for a walk and enjoy a cocktail of fruit while admiring the folk dance shows of Boi-Bumba.

In the heart of the jungle

About 140 km from Manaus, you can sleep in a hotel in the middle of the Amazon forest near Juma Lake or opt for a hotel two-day trip in total immersion. In the jungle you can admire the encontro das águas, the encounter of the black waters of the Negro río and the brown and muddy waters of the Solimões río. Because of their difference in temperature and density, these two waters do not mix. This is where these two tributaries form the Amazon River.

This beautiful place will give you the opportunity to wake up in the morning by taking advantage of an incredible view of the river and to fall asleep in the evening by listening to the noise of wild animals living in the jungle. Many activities are available such as fishing, chasing caiman or hiking and with a bit of luck you can see a few monkeys, lazy or parrots lodged in the trees.

Near the Taruma River

Only 30 minutes from Manaus boat, you can stay in the heart of the Amazon Ecopark Jungle Lodge , in the middle of the forest on the Taruma River, in a place comprising about 60 rooms distributed in 20 bungalows, close to the beach and especially 10 km from the forest trails to observe the Amazon fauna and flora. You will thus have the opportunity to live a unique moment by admiring the sunset on the river.
