Juma Amazon Lodge
Located in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest in an unspoiled area, 100 km (62 mi) southeast of Manaus, the Juma Amazon Lodge offers a unique experience in the Amazon Rainforest. The 3-hour trip is by boat and car with a stop at the inevitable meeting of the waters (between the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimões). The lodge was built on "Palafitas" suspended 15m above the ground in order to anticipate the significant rise of the water in rainy season. The lodge was built on " Palafitas " suspended 15m (49 ft) above ground. In order to preserve and respect the nature, the Juma also has a fully ecological organization with organic products, solar energy and waste treatment. The lodge only offers 20 bungalows, perfectly integrated into the forest, divided into 2 categories: 8 bungalows with a view of the forest and 12 with a view of the Rio Juma. The bungalows are very comfortable with hot water and fans. The English-speaking guides are available for visitors to discover the nature and the lifestyle of the local people.
