The Juma Jungle Lodge is situated in the middle of the Amazon forest, about 100 km of Manaus. It was built in Terra-firme area on stilts, covered with Babaçu palm tree leaves in front of the calm waters of the Juma River. The Juma region is remote and relatively untouched. It is a “flooded forest” environment, with low jungle seasonally flooded by the rising river. Due to the acidity of the waters near the lodge theres are no mosquitoes in the area.
