Located three hours away from Manaus by boat (or 25 minutes by hydroplane), the trip to the lodge is a spetacular tour by itself. Juma's region is remote and relatively untouched. The Juma Lodge is a small and comfortable hotel designed to be totally integrated to the Amazon Jungle. The construction and operation of the lodge comply with and respect the limitations of the environment, which is the very reason for the hotel to exist. Includes: Accommodations, All Meals, Guided Tours, Round trip transfers from Manaus.
Day 1 - Departure from a hotel in Manaus early morning, around 6:30 am. The trip takes about three hours by speedboat, van, and speedboat again. On the way to the lodge stop to see the amazing Meeting of the Waters, where the muddy waters of the Solimões River and the black waters of the Negro River run side by side, without mixing, to form the great Amazonas River. Enjoy the first contact with the jungle during the transfer and observe the giant water lily. Arriving at Juma Lodge around 11 am, a welcome juice, prepared with exotics fruits, followed by check-in and lunch. The afternoon activity is a canoe tour through the igarapés (Amazonian creeks) and the igapós (flooded forest). Along the way, some river dolphins might be observed. Return to the Juma Lodge and have dinner around 7 pm. After dinner, go out in canoes for alligator spotting. Alligators are spotted because their eyes shine like small red lights. Once the alligator is spotted by the guide’s spotlight, he will try to catch it with his own hands and bring the animal onto the canoe to give a brief explanation of their habitat. The alligator will then be safely released back to the river (no harm is done to any of the animals).
Day 2 - Early in the morning, around 5:15 am, leave for a sunrise excursion,witnessing the transformation of the dark water of the Juma River into a mirror and listening to the sounds of the waking birds (our guides have binoculars and are trained in birdwatching). Breakfast will be served on the return to the lodge, around 7 am, with typical fruits and regional food. Around 8:30 am, leave for a jungle hike. Once inside the Amazon Forest feels its charm and greatness. All tours are led by a lodge guide with great knowledge of the area, who will pass along important concepts about jungle survival. Return to the lodge for lunch around noon. After lunch, around 2:30 pm, go on a tour around the hotel. Juma was built all on stilts, and during this tour, will be seen from another angle: from below. It's very interesting to understand how the hotel was built. The tour is by boat (during the rainy season) or on foot (during the dry season). After the tour, around 3 pm, we will board a wooden boat, the same kind the local river dwellers use, to catch the famous Piranha as well as other fishes in the region.While enjoying the sunset, return to Juma. Dinner will be complemented by the fish caught earlier, cooked the Amazon way. Later, around 8 pm, one of the guides will perform an informal speech about his life (guides are all natives) and the customs and legends of the river dwellers.
