Juma Amazon Lodge

It may be one of the most remote lodges in the world. At this rainforest retreat you can sleep in one of 19 bungalows built on stilts to accommodate the rising water levels of the wet season.

They each have a private bathroom with solar hot water, ceiling fans and porches with hammocks. Amenities include restaurant, bar and pool.

Guests spend their days learning about the rainforest during jungle hikes, canoeing, bird watching or visiting local residents to learn about their way of life.

Feel adventurous? You can hike in the jungle at night and sleep over in a hammock.

Juma Amazon Lodge is deep in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, about 62 miles from Manaus. Guests fly into Eduardo Gomes International Airport and reach the Lodge by taking a free transfer.
