Accommodations in Brazil
Amazon Tupana Jungle Lodge
Situated deep in the Amazon rainforest, on the banks of the Tupana River, is this charming, little jungle lodge. Your Amazon adventure starts from the moment you begin your journey to the lodge, which is by car and motorboat down the rivers through the rainforest.

Your meals are served as a buffet in the lodge’s restaurant, from which you have a lovely view of the river and the lush rainforest.
After your experiences in the jungle, you can enjoy the area around the lodge, where in addition to the restaurant, you will find a sun terrace, lounge and a nice garden. You can enjoy a dip in the river, and kayaks are also available for you to make use of, should you fancy paddling off on an adventure.
The lodge is powered by its own generator, which doesn’t run around the clock, so there will be times during the day and night when there is no power.
There is no Wi-Fi at the lodge, allowing you to be at one with nature and enjoy an authentic Amazon experience.
