Juma Amazon Lodge

Beautiful stilted bungalows on the banks of the mosquito-free black waters of the River Juma.

Overview

Your home in Brazil, Juma Amazon Lodge, is located 62 miles southeast of Manaus. Nestled in 17,300 acres of preserved rainforest, this spot on the Juma River is one of the most remote in the Amazon.

Life At Juma Amazon Lodge Brazil

Juma Amazon Lodge is a place of rustic beauty. The lodge consists of 19 bungalows perched on stilts at the treetop level. It may be tough to pull yourself away from the forest or river views from your bungalow, but the lodge has much more to offer. At the buffet-style restaurant, you will dine on a continuously-rotating menu of local and international cuisine.

When you are not away on an excursion, there are various ways to entertain yourself and enjoy the surroundings. Head to the hammock house to sway in the fresh air while listening to the river and jungle sounds. Sunbathe on the floating dock between dips in the river. For a swim in a more confined area, pop into the river pool, which is surrounded by decking.

After your swim, enjoy a drink at the nearby bar, then wander into the lobby to play board games or to gaze through the telescope. Every building at Juma Amazon Lodge is constructed from native materials carefully collected from the surrounding area with respect for the environment. Both the style and construction techniques are similar to those used by local residents, which adds to the lodge’s authenticity.

Excursions Included In Juma Lodge Packages

Whether you are on a short stopover or a full holiday, Juma Amazon Lodge offers packages of one to five nights. In just a single day, you can see the ‘Meeting of the Waters,’ experience the sunrise over the jungle, and go out on canoeing and caiman spotting excursions. More extended stays open up even more possibilities.

Piranha fishing, a picnic in the jungle, and visiting with local inhabitants are all experiences that should not be missed. For the ultimate experience, stay for five nights, plant a tree in the rainforest, and camp overnight in the jungle. Come to Juma Amazon Lodge for your honeymoon and celebrate your new marriage with a private breakfast, champagne, and a private sunset tour complete with wine and cheese.

Though most transfers to the lodge are by car or boat, you can amp up your travel plans by opting for a seaplane flight. Every excursion is led by a bilingual guide fluent in English and Portuguese. However, the lodge is happy to arrange guides fluent in other languages as well.

Family Holidays In The Amazon

Whether during the summer break or in the winter, family holidays are much-anticipated by every generation. Juma Amazon Lodge is a prime location for family travel. Children under the age of five stay for free, and older children under twelve pay half price when they stay with two adults.

Plus, each of the Juma Lodge packages includes activities that are both educational and engaging. What better way to spark a passion for travel and respect for the environment than a journey to the Amazon?

With its location in the mosquito-free blackwater area of the River Juma and access to unique activities, Juma Amazon Lodge Brazil is an ideal place to experience the Amazon, whether you are a family with little ones, a couple in love, or a group of friends.
