Location and Weather

Where we are

The Amazon Rainforest is divided by the Equator Line and spreads across a vast area of Northern Brazil.

The state of Amazonas, the country’s largest, is home to the Rainforest and its main rivers: the Amazon, Solimões and Negro. The Amazon River emerges where the Solimões and Negro meet (hence the name of the famous attraction). The capital of Amazonas, Manaus, is located at the banks of the Negro River. Juma Amazon Lodge is located 62 miles (100 km) southeast of Manaus in a fully preserved area of 17,300 acres (7.000 hectares).

Weather

Our proximity to the Equator (we are at latitude 03ºS) ensures year-round warm weather at the lodge, with an average annual temperature of 27ºC (80ºF).

While the Amazon region is great to visit anytime of year, it is home to two distinct seasons:

Flood Season

Flood season occurs from March to August, when the water level rises to 15 meters (49 ft). This is the ideal moment to see the lush, flooded lands, known as igapó, in all of their glory.

Dry Season

Dry season occurs from September to February when the level of the rivers reaches its lowest point, crowding the fish together and making them easier to catch for both animal predators and fishermen. You are also more likely to spot caymans.

Regular Transfer

Land and River

Guests board a high-speed motor boat from Ceasa Harbor in Manaus en route to Careiro Village. During this stretch, the boat passes through the Meeting of the Waters of the Negro and Solimoes rivers.

From Careiro Village, guests are then transported in a chartered bus toward Maçarico River via BR 319, the main state road.

From Maçarico River, guests board another high-speed motor boat en route to their final destination, Juma Amazon Lodge. On this last leg of the voyage, guests will enjoy their first glimpse of deep Amazon forest, passing through furos (passages through the flooded lands) and igarapés (streams).
