Located about 100 km southeast of Manaus, in a completely preserved area of 7,000 hectares, Juma Amazon Lodge is perfect for those seeking an authentic experience in the Amazon rainforest and who prioritize close contact with nature. It’s ideal for those who value environmental sustainability and wish to explore the unique biodiversity of the Amazon in a responsible manner.!

Segment 01 (45 minutes): Departing from Ceasa Port in Manaus, you’ll board a speedboat to the village of Careiro. During this journey, the boat passes by the breathtaking Meeting of the Waters, where the Negro and Solimões rivers converge.

Segment 02 (1 hour): From the village of Careiro, the trip continues by minibus along the BR-319 highway, from Manaus to Porto Velho, heading towards the Maçarico River.

Segment 03 (1 hour): From the Maçarico River, a speedboat will take you to Juma Amazon Lodge. During this leg, you’ll experience your first close encounter with the rainforest, navigating through small channels and streams.

Juma also offers, through its partner CTA, a special aerial transfer by seaplane (30 minutes), providing a unique opportunity to admire the Amazon from above.

En route to Juma, we stop to observe the magnificent Meeting of the Waters, where the muddy waters of the Solimões River meet the black waters of the Negro River. At this crucial junction point, the two rivers – with different speeds, temperatures and consistencies – run side by side for several kilometers without actually mixing, ultimately joining to form the great Amazon River. Passengers will feel the difference in temperature between the two distinct rivers.

Our canoeing tour provides an in depth / up close exploration of the igarapés (Amazonian creeks) and the igapós (flooded forest), an experience made possible only by paddle canoes.

We depart on an evening expedition to observe frogs, birds and most importantly, caymans. Our guide uses only his flashlight to help spot them, making the tour very exciting. The night noises are also impressive, as well as the starry sky.

Early in the morning we will observe the beautiful change in the sky’s color and the sounds of the waking birds. Our guides are equipped with binoculars in order to complement this experience with ample bird watching.

We will board a motorboat to fish and learn more about the infamous piranha as well as other Amazonian fishes. Fishing is easier in the dry season as the fish cannot hide in the flooded areas as they tend to do in the wet season.

In this educational jungle walk, our expert guide will introduce the wildlife of the Amazon. He will show plants and describe their uses, as many are edible or medicinal. The paths implemented in exploration walks are constantly changed to avoid damaging the forest.

Enjoy the insight of one of our highly trained and skilled local guides as he gives an informal lecture on everyday life in the Amazon, local tales and legends, and the overall culture of the region.

After hiking (this one a bit longer, but with fewer stops), we will have lunch (regional cuisine baked over a fire) in a nice hut in the forest and subsequently rest in hammocks, as the natives do.

An Amazonian native will share his knowledge regarding traditional medicinal plants and will demonstrate, among other things, how manioc flour, one of the region’s principal exports and drivers of the economy, is prepared.

In order to make our tourists more involved with the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest, we will take them to plant their own tree, a unique experience in the largest forest on the planet!

We will visit a giant Sumaúma tree, approximately 100 years of age. The Sumaúma tree is recognized as the Amazon’s largest tree species in both height and diameter, reaching up to 40 meters (130 ft).

Juma Amazon Lodge maintains a parternship with Amazon Tree Climbing, a specialized chartered company known for pioneering recreational tree climbing in Brazil. Tree climbing provides a unique opportunity to explore the tree tops of the Amazon’s largest trees. This tour is available only upon request prior to travel and must be confirmed via email.

We will take a shorter walk in an area with other species of trees, especially a huge Cedar, one of the largest trees in the Amazon.

Following dinner, we will take the guests to an overnight stay in the jungle, where they will sleep in hammocks. It is a truly fascinating and unforgettable experience sleeping among the trees and listening to the nearby animal sounds.

The Juma Amazon Lodge has only 20 bungalows, with a construction fully integrated into the forest. Built on solid ground on stilts, it rises to the treetops.

The Juma offers excellent resources for a jungle lodge, combining environmental concerns with comfort. There are 6 bungalows with forest views, 10 with views of the Juma River, 2 specially designed for families, 1 panoramic, and 1 presidential.

Very spacious with 41 square meters (441ft²) each, these bungalows are located between the lobby patio and the restaurant. Their location allows for easy access for the elderly or anyone with any mobility issues. Because they are closer to one another, they make for an excellent choice for families with small children.

With 32 square meters (344ft²), these rooms are located in a more secluded and exclusive area of the lodge, nestled into the canopy of the trees and reaching 15 meters (49ft) above the ground during dry season. Ensuring the utmost level of privacy, the river view bungalows were designed to be fully integrated into the forest.
