Guests on the boat watching the sunset through the clouds over the river

See the forest at its own pace

Guided outings on the river and in the forest, by boat, by canoe and on foot, always at the pace of the water and the daylight.

What we do here

There's no fixed itinerary: outings change with the season and the river level. We plan the schedule with you during your stay.

  • Igapó trees reflected in the dark water of the flooded forest

    Canoeing the igapó

    In the high-water season, the canoe enters the flooded forest and moves silently between the trunks. The dark water mirrors the canopy, and it's hard to tell where the tree ends and the reflection begins.

  • Hands holding an illustrated guide to Amazon birds inside the boat

    Birdwatching

    We bring illustrated field guides on the boat and help you recognise the birds of the riverbanks and the treetops. We don't promise species; the forest decides. But it's worth looking slowly.

  • Guide pointing at the riverbank for two guests seated in a canoe

    Along the Juma, with people who know it

    We head out by boat with guides who know every bend of the river. They point out whatever moves along the banks and share the stories of the people who live here.

  • Silhouettes of guests photographing the sunset on the river

    Sunset on the river

    In the late afternoon we cut the engine in the middle of the river and wait for the sky to change colour. Nobody needs to say a word.

  • Giant tree rising above the forest on the riverbank under a blue sky

    The forest up close

    Giant trees, upland forest and the life that hides along the banks. In the dry season, when the ground reappears, forest walks become easier.

Two rivers in one year

The Juma rises and falls several metres through the year. There's no wrong time to come, just different experiences.

Low water

September to February

The river recedes and the banks appear. Birds and other animals stay closer to the water, and forest walks become easier.

High water

March to August

The water rises into the forest, forming the igapó. That's when canoes glide between the trunks, along paths that are forest floor in the dry season.

Approximate periods that vary from year to year. Check the best dates with us on WhatsApp.

Visiting without leaving a trace

We ask for just a few habits, and they make a difference:

  • Watch animals from a distance and never feed them.
  • Don't take plants, seeds or animals from the forest.
  • Bring back all the rubbish you produce on outings.
  • Choose biodegradable sunscreen and insect repellent.
  • Keep your voice down on trails and in the igapó.
