Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge
Set on the banks of the Rio Negro opposite the spectacular Anavilhanas National Park, Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge offers one of the most comfortable and authentic ways to experience the Brazilian Amazon. Surrounded by one of the world's largest freshwater archipelagos and millions of hectares of protected rainforest, this intimate lodge combines exceptional hospitality with immersive wildlife experiences in an extraordinary natural setting.
The lodge’s 24 rooms, including charming Cottages, spacious Bungalows and contemporary Panoramic Rooms, are thoughtfully designed to blend into the surrounding forest while offering a high level of comfort. A larger private villa is also available for families. Beyond the accommodation, guests can relax in two swimming pools overlooking the Rio Negro, enjoy a drink at the floating bar, unwind with a massage or simply take in the views from the lodge’s observation deck. One of the area’s unique characteristics is the Rio Negro’s naturally acidic waters, resulting in remarkably few mosquitoes despite the dense rainforest setting.
A stay at Anavilhanas is centred around expertly guided excursions, with programmes tailored to the length of each visit. Activities include rainforest walks, canoeing through flooded forests, wildlife spotting by boat, visits to local riverside communities and full-day explorations deeper into the Amazon. Meals showcase regional Amazonian ingredients alongside international cuisine, with all stays including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.
Since opening in 2007, the lodge has placed conservation at the heart of its philosophy, supporting rainforest protection, local communities and scientific wildlife monitoring. Combining genuine sustainability with outstanding comfort, Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge is an exceptional choice for travellers seeking an unforgettable Amazon adventure without compromising on luxury.
