The Amazon at the pace of the Juma River

Wake up to birdsong, paddle into the flooded forest and watch the day end in the middle of the river. We'll take care of the rest.

No rush, no fixed itinerary

Here, outings change with the water level, the time of day and whatever the forest decides to show. One day it's the canoe gliding between flooded trees; the next, birds along the banks. Our guides read the river and choose the right moment for every trip.

A day on the Juma River

From the first boat in the morning to the quiet of the night, the river sets the pace.

  1. Dawn

    Out on the boat

    We set out while the river is still like glass and the first birds start to sing. It's the coolest, quietest hour of the day.

  2. Morning

    Eyes on the banks

    With an illustrated bird guide on board, we point out what you'd otherwise miss: a low flight over the water, a flash of colour high in the canopy.

  3. Midday

    Dining hall buffet with fresh salads and windows onto the palm trees

    Lunch in the dining hall

    Local fish, salads and traditional Amazonas dishes, served in the hall that opens onto the palm trees. Then a rest while the sun is at its strongest.

  4. Afternoon

    Igapó trees reflected in the dark water of the flooded forest

    Canoeing the igapó

    In the high-water season, the flooded forest becomes a maze of trees mirrored in the water. The canoe moves slowly, and the only sound is the paddle.

  5. Late afternoon

    The boat stops in the middle of the Juma and the sky does the rest.

  6. Night

    Chalet room with made beds and a window onto the forest

    Night in your chalet

    Air conditioning, a made bed and, outside the window, the forest making the sounds it only makes at night.

Wood, a veranda and the forest

Our wooden chalets stand on stilts, linked by boardwalks through palms and gardens. Each one has a veranda with a table and chairs and wide windows onto the forest and the river. It's a simple lodge, made for resting well between outings.

  • Air-conditioned rooms
  • Single beds with full linens and towels
  • Private veranda at every chalet
  • Dining hall open to the forest

Home cooking, Amazonas flavours

One minute at the lodge

Two rivers in one year

The Juma rises and falls several metres through the year. There's no wrong time to come, just different experiences.

Low water

September to February

The river recedes and the banks appear. Birds and other animals stay closer to the water, and forest walks become easier.

High water

March to August

The water rises into the forest, forming the igapó. That's when canoes glide between the trunks, along paths that are forest floor in the dry season.

Approximate periods that vary from year to year. Check the best dates with us on WhatsApp.

Getting here is part of the trip

The journey starts in Manaus and continues by road and by boat to the Juma River. Somewhere along the way the city falls behind and the river takes over the view. We'll help you plan every leg on WhatsApp.
