1 AMAZON FOREST Anavilhanas Archipelago, Amazonas, Brazil 4 days.

2 THE EXPERIENCE Anavilhanas Lodge is a small and exclusive hotel situated in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, in Brazil. Located in front of Anavilhanas, the world s largest fresh water archipelago, the Lodge is touched by the black waters of the Rio Negro ("Black River") and is blessed with the sounds, smells and mysteries of the Amazon jungle. Free of mosquitoes and nested within a vast stretch of untouched rainforest, you will experience the perfect balance between nature and comfort, adventure and peacefulness. The architecture is in line with the regional tradition: lots of straw and suspended wooden structures, holding cozy rooms where our guests will find peace and quiet for an invigorating night s sleep. Throughout the hotel, the rustic atmosphere is derived from modern forms and contours which enhance the grace of natural materials and their functions in the structure. The restaurant is hidden amidst the trees, but through them it is possible to behold the dark water river, so dark that it has been called Rio Negro. On the menu, you will find a blend of classic local dishes and international cuisine, prepared and served with diligence for an impeccable presentation. The deck and pool overlook the river and are among the trees that provide shade, peacefulness and a perfect spot for contemplation. Together with the reception and the bar, you will find a rich library, comfortable chairs and gaming tables which invite the guests to relax and spend their time in good company. There is also a small floating deck which allows our guests to take a dive into the river, or to simply contemplate the quietness of the dark waters. BEST TIME TO VISIT The weather in the Amazon is quite hot and humid, with constant rain. The region can be visited throughout the year and has two distinct seasons.
