We left our Sao Paulo hotel at 7am to the airport, took the 4 hour flight to Manaus via TAM airlines, waited 2 hours for other people to arrive, then rode in the hotel's brand new mercedes mini van for 3hours to arrive deep in the jungle by the Rio Negro. The hospitality staff are all young & friendly and... More

Fresh fish everyday which was nice. Our guides were excellent and great company! Really enjoyed all our outings with them, especially to... More

My fiancee and I did the three night, four day package. A tour guide was assigned to us on the first day and stuck with us for most if not all of the days we were there. He was very knowledgeable of the language, culture, and terrain, making our overall experience fun and memorable! We saw alot of wild life... More

Because it was wet season, .there wasn't an abundance of animals, but the true experience was the river itself. We were able to canoe through the Flooded Forest... More

What a wonderful way to experience the Amazon. Quaint. Fantastic activities. Rob is am unbelievable guide. Food could be a notch better. Wonderful place to relax, be pampered and see nature. This is the Ritz Carlton of the jungle.

Great hotel with comfortable rooms. The food is just ok but the attractions are amazing. Everyday you have one attraction in the morning and one in the afternoon. The guides are good and have a lot of knowledge about the forest. As the hotel is in the middle of nothing try to bring some snacks like cookies and chips.

The Rio negro does not have as much wildlife as The Amazon river. The reason for this is that the water in the Rio Negro is slightly acidic. That's not to... More
