Juma Amazon Lodge
A lakeside property in a remote part of the Brazilian Amazon offering wildlife watching activities.
The Juma Amazon Lodge is a small eco-friendly property designed to blend into the Amazon jungle. The lodge has a spectacular setting on the shores of a black-water lake in a remote region 100km southeast of Manaus.
There are individual polished wood cabins with veranda, ceiling fan, hammock and private bathrooms with solar-heated water. The more accessible forest view cabins are close to the lobby and restaurant while the spectacular stilted lake-view cabins are at treetop height, 15m above the lake, offering total privacy – except for possible visits of curious monkeys, macaws and toucans.
The surrounding rainforest has a network of creeks and channels which flood the adjacent woodland during the high water months, when you can explore by boat. Facilities include a bar and jungle museum. Take your pick of guided excursions: Meeting of the Waters, forest walks, visits to local villages, bird-watching, boat trips and night time caiman-spotting.
