4**** South America Amazon Lodges - Tiwa Amazonas Ecoresort

The program and the options on location

Your stay will be on the basis of full board, which means that each day your breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. In addition all our guests will be offered a varied recreation and activity program; a large part of this program will be included in the money you paid for your trip. The complex is part of an eco park with a real tropical jungle, and you will be able to take part in special day programs such as jungle treks, survival tours and an eco tour. During your stay we will organize special theme programs in most afternoons, such as dancing lessons, Brazilian crafts and nature lessons. In addition, there will be opportunities for you to take part in lively evening activities such as music, dance and cultural shows.

Programmes and activities outside the complex

There are many interesting activities for you to take part in, not only in but also outside our complex! Jungle tours and excursions (many of them on the river) to the source of the Amazon, to Januari, a very special swamp lake, the village of Iranduba with its traditional Cabocole lifestyle, the caves and waterfalls of Presidente Fiquereido, a night cruise on the Amazon, a barbecue party on the Praia da Luna (the romantic Moon beach), a trip searching for crocodile and (specially for fish lovers) fishing for piranha (you must taste that lovely piranha soup!) and Tucanare fish, that can grow up to a metre and a half long. As if that is not enough, there are also opportunities to go on a number of overnight trips. Just to give a couple of examples, there is a two day trip to our own floating hotel (situated even deeper in the jungle) and a 2 to 4 day cruise to and among the Anavilhanes, the largest fresh water archipelago in the world. Then there is a special fishing trip to Balbinas, where there are catfish that can grow to several meters and black piranhas. Or perhaps you would like to go on a 3 to 4 day trek to the highest mountain of the Amazonas, whilst others might consider the jungle trip with a night out in the jungle as the highlight of their holiday. Your food and drinks will be collected from the jungle, and in the evening you will have to set up your own bivouac. This is especially for the adventurers among you!
