Set in the Piránha Nature Reserve on the left bank of the Solimões River, this flatbottomed barge has 16 apartments, each with two twin beds and a private bathroom. Shower water is heated by the sun, which keeps it at a comfortable temperature. There are window screens and mosquito nets over the beds. Electricity is used to light the restaurant and communal sitting areas for a few hours each night, but guests use torches and 12V battery-operated lanterns to get around. The sitting area is very pleasant, with comfortable couches and swaying hammocks. There are over 180 lakes in the area. The flotel moves monthly from one area lake to another in order to find the best wildlife. Much depends on the water level and season. Because the Piránha Reserve is a vast wetland, there are scores of birds. Excursions include bird watching, fishing and canoe rides.
