ANAVILHANAS JUNGLE LODGE

While you may be tempted to spend your days relaxing in your room, a trip to Anavilhanas has much more to offer. The lodge's experienced staff will create an itinerary of experiences and excursions that will reveal the secrets of this extraordinary part of the world. You could travel upriver for a walk through the otherworldly rock formations of the Madada Caves, tour the twisting waterways of the Anavilhanas archipelago in search of rare pink river dolphins or fish for snapping piranha. At dusk, take a twilight trip into the forest to spot some of its nocturnal inhabitants, while visiting a local Cabaclo community provides the chance to explore Amazonian culture. Once the day's adventures are done, recharge with a drink by the tree-shaded pool and watch the sun go down over the jungle.
