Frommer's Review
If you like space to move around, you will love the Amazonat, set on its own 900-hectare (2,223-acre) reserve of terra firme 160km (98 miles) east of Manaus. Amazonat is surrounded by extensive walking trails that you can roam at will. Though the lodge is not on a river, there is a lake with a beach for swimming and an orchid park with over 1,000 specimens to see and sniff and wonder at. The 3-day package includes a number of guided walks and a river trip on the Urubu for bird-watching, as well as plenty of time to explore on your own. The 4-day package includes all of the above plus a full day on the Amazon River and a visit to the Opera House and The Meeting of the Waters. The lodge itself is set in beautiful jungle gardens and the chalets are more than comfortable. There's also a variety of specialized programs for those who want to experience more of the jungle: The Jungle Trekker package includes a variety of longer hikes and two overnight stays at a jungle camp.
