WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

In easy access to the outside world, the Reserva Amazonica is the most comfortable lodge in the area and ideal for a gentle introduction to the Amazon. The lodge honours the traditional style of the native Ese’ Eja villages built with high wooden beams and Amazonian thatch set within a forest clearing. At its heart, the elegant two-story pavilion is light, warm and spacious and houses the dining room, focal point of the lodge. The lodge offers fully inclusive programs with daily forays into the forest accompanied by expert, bi-lingual guides.
