About
Amazon Wilderness Lodges

We have designed itineraries that will show you as much of the rainforest's biodiversity as can be comfortably fitted into five or six days. You will travel by motorized canoe, by dugout paddle-canoe and on foot, along blackwater rivers, whitewater rivers and vast lakes and explore parts of the Amazon headwaters where human presence is virtually unknown.

This expedition caters to a wide variety of guests - from jungle noephytes to experts and persons with special interests. Activities are very flexible and adapt to our client's needs. Small groups accompanied by a naturalist guide will explore lakes and streams, terra firme forest and flooded areas, take short walks and longer hikes both during the day and at night as well.

Every evening, after dinner, one of the naturalist guides will give a presentation to sum up the day's events, inform about the following day's program and lead a discussion on any topics that might arise.
The lodges are built in the tradition with local materials, palm thatch, bamboo, vines and wood, in keeping with local designs that blend with the surrounding jungle. Although rustic, the facilities at each lodge are comfortable and clean, with double rooms, shared toilet and shower facilities. There is a lounge area and dining room - all meals are included. To ensure that our operation is runned on a sustainable basis, electricity is generated by solar energy and waste is treated using biodigestors.

Iripari Lodge, is located beside Zancudo Lake, in virgin terra firme rainforest, surrounded by giant Amazon trees. This is one of the most beautiful and remote spots in the Amazon basin. Iripari Lodge, which accommodates 20 guests in 10 double rooms, is surrounded by hundreds of species of birds.

Leisure: Behind the lodge, an extensive network of trails of various lengths allow you to explore the vicinity; you can choose to go on your own or with your naturalist guide. You can relax in the comfort of a hammock on the deck overlooking the lake or paddle in it observing the flora and fauna and try your luck at eco-fishing (catch and release) for piranhas.
