Uakari Jungle Lodge, Tefé

Remote and hard to reach (it’s a flight from Manaus followed by a boat ride), this lodge is nonetheless a very special location in the heart of the Mamirauá Sustainable Reserve. No lodge offers a better taste of life in the Amazon – sleeping over the water, visiting villages where the locals sustainably fish giant pirarucu fish and taking canoe trips and hikes in search of rare wildlife. The area is especially rich in primates and lowland Amazonian birds.

Featuring floating bungalows built from locally sourced materials, the lodge is committed to sustainability and conservation. Guests can explore the untouched jungle through guided canoe trips, forest hikes, and wildlife tours, offering opportunities to spot pink river dolphins, uakari monkeys, sloths, and countless bird species. The lodge provides a rare chance to experience the Amazon’s breathtaking biodiversity while supporting community-led initiatives and environmental preservation.
