Pusada Uakari - A Hidden Gem in the Brazilian Rain Forest

Jungle lodges are abundant in Ecuador and Peru but for some unknown reason not so much in Brazil although the majority of the country is a part of the Amazon rain forest.
At the confluence of the two rivers, Japura and Solimoes in the center of the Mamiraua Reserve in Northerly Brazil you will find one of the few floating lodges called Pusada Uakari.
The residents in the area's livelihood is founded on farming and fishing and guests staying at Uakari can take a led short trip to go to some of the encircling villages to get a glance of their way of life.
In the flood season which occurs from May up until July every year you may paddle in a little canoe along eleven trails to see a wide selection of monkeys.
Out of flood season these trails can be walked.
You may also canoe on the Mamiraua Lake where manatees, pink river dolphins and caimans swim among the submerged trees.
The lodge has 10 thatched wooden cabins built on floating timber.
They are each reasonably basic in nature, but snug none the less.
In each cabin you will find 2 king sized beds, a full bathroom with a hot water shower and a terrace facing the forest.
Dinner is served in the main lodge building and you may expect plenty of fresh fruit, juices and fish as main meals.
Pusada Uakari was designed with many environmental friendly technologies like solar electricity for lighting and heating, a sewage filtration system and an echo friendly rainwater collection tower.
The reserve is the first true place in Brazil where conservationists are working in conjunction with Amazonian communities to involve them actively in conservation and tourism as an alternative income sources.
When visiting Pusada Uakari, you will get to meet the indigenous people and the abounding fauna and flora in this remote part of the Brazilian rain forest.
