The wide, wild world of the northern Amazon Basin is your playground at Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge. Sitting on the banks of the vast Rio Negro three hours west of Manaus, the lodge faces the emerald green isles and cobalt-blue waterways of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, a water-logged ecological wonderland of floating forests, rivers, channels, and waterfalls that’s home to grey and pink river dolphins.

Hidden among the trees along the bank, the lodge’s glass-walled cottages, bungalows, and villas make the rainforest outside feel close enough to touch. Screened-in balconies allow you to lounge outdoors in hammocks and listen to the symphony of the forest without fretting about bugs, or you can beat the heat in the Bacurau Villa’s canopy infinity pool. Didn’t book the villa? Not to worry; watch for wildlife from the lodge’s main infinity pool, which faces the archipelago.

The Anavilhana archipelago is more than just a staggering feat of nature; it’s also part of a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 866,000 acres. Fill your days venturing out into this epic wilderness with expert guides, who know all the best spots for seeing wildlife and introduce you to local communities set along the Rio Negro. Set sail on two-story riverboats, identify the medicinal properties of flora on forested trail walks, float through flooded forests (seasonal), fish for piranhas, and embark on nighttime boat rides to discover what lurks in the dark when the sun goes down.
