DESTINATION : Amazon – 3 nights

The legendary Amazon is one of the planet’s enigmas. The world’s largest river basin, 2.5 million
square miles (6.5 million square kilometers), but also the planet’s greatest rainforest, the Amazon is
a vast open-air greenhouse of global evolution and unsolved mysteries whose true potential remains
largely unknown and untapped. It is possible to fly for hours over the Amazon region and see no
break in the carpet of greenery except for the sinuous curves of the region’s rivers.

Though it is not the longest river in the world, there can be no dou the Brazilian territory, is where a
tenth of the world’s 10 million living species make their homes. Within the Amazon Basin resides a
wealth of life richer than any place else on earth, including 500 mammals, 175 different lizards, 300
other reptile species, tree climbers of every kind, and a third of the worlds identified bird species.
Millions of species remain undiscovered.

The Rainforest supports many communities of indigenous people whose livelihoods and culture
depend on the sustainability of the forest. Millions of species of insects, animals, plants, and other
organisms that inhabit this tropical wilderness are of extraordinary value to the indigenous
communities and colonists that inhabit the region.

Accommodation Option 1 : Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge – 4 stars

•   Hotel Details:
    After an exciting day filled with new adventures and experiences, including jungle hikes and
    diving chaperoned by an experienced native guide, you will treat yourself to the best in
    Amazonian and international cuisine before retiring to your cottage, where you lazily relax in the
    porch for the remainder of the evening. This is how you will spend your days at Anavilhanas
    Jungle Lodge. You will have the best of two worlds – the beauty and richness of a tropical
    rainforest with all the comfort you would expect from an international class Lodge.
    Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge is a small charming hotel that brings together nature and comfort in a
    subtle and harmonious fashion. In this Lodge, you will NOT find grandiose buildings, vast fields,
    fiberglass replicas of animals or plastic flowers on the tables. Their allure starts here, for they are
    in the Amazon and they celebrate the natural beauty of this region, tastefully matching nature and
    local culture.
