The Araras Lodge is a private rain forest refuge located 60 kilometers up the Rio Negro River from the city of Manaus just before the Anavilhanas Archipelago (an Ecological Reserve and now Eco tourism Park).
This floating lodge is a great place to relax and explore the region if clients have only a few days in the region, or would prefer a lodge rather than boat as their base. Near the lodge are quiet rivers and islands to explore by canoe, and guided walks take place on rain forest trails near the lodge.
The only sunset-facing lodge in the Amazon with a veranda offering river and island views; the only family-run lodge in the area, and no mosquitoes! Lodge-only programs feature Day 1 boat trip to the famous "meting of the waters" (Amazon x Negro Rivers) near Manaus city + daily trekking and canoeing side trips. All meals, guide, activities and transport are included.
