Thirty-five miles northwest of Manaus on the Rio Negro, this resort is huge by Amazon standards. It has 290 units, including a dozen air-conditioned suites. Most rooms are small but comfortable, with fans and spacious terraces. They are housed in seven four-story towers that stand on stilts. The towers are linked by wooden catwalks that wind through the jungle at tree-top level.
It’s a strange sensation to look down at the jungle floor in the rainy season when the Rio Negro’s waters overflow and flood the
property. The boat ride from Manaus takes two hours, although you can opt for a faster boat ride (one hour) or even a helicopter if you are in a hurry. That is what sets Ariau apart from other jungle lodges.
Because all 400 guests cannot pile into canoes to go alligator hunting at the same time, the resort offers optional tours at additional cost. Those include a boat ride to the Meeting of the Waters, a visit to the Anavilhanas Archipelago whose 380 islands and streams provide endless adventurous opportunities, and night-time visits to a secluded Indian village for stories, dances and dinner.
The resort has two restaurants, several bars and a swimming pool. Two observation towers soar above the trees and allow unobstructed views of the rainforest and river for miles around. Boat service to this hotel leaves from the Hotel Tropical dock.
