Malocas Jungle Lodge

The word “maloca” in the Brazilian indian language means “dwelling” for more than one family. The inside of this oval shaped building is divided in different sections. The Maloca Jungle Lodge carries this concept and a number of services together under the same roof.

Location: 160 km / 99 mi. northeast of Manaus on Rio (river) Preto da Eva, a tributary of the Amazon where the waters due to its high pH factor inhibit the proliferation of mosquitoes. Transfer takes an average of 3 hrs in two 80 km stages: the first leaving Manaus to the city of Rio Preto da Eva and another 80 (1:30 hr) on canoe to the lodge, deep inside the jungle.

The Lodge: a maloca with 12 double rooms with private bathroom, 1 honeymoon suite in a private maloca, restaurant, lounge, bar and reception area and meeting point.

Package includes: breakfast, lunch and dinner as specified in program, fresh tropical fruits, mineral water, indian and bilingual guide.
