Fodor's Expert Review Amazon Ecopark Lodge

Proximity to Manaus (45 minutes) and decent rooms (complete wiith air-conditioning and hot water) make this a good option for travelers short on time or seeking a certain level of creature comforts. Experiences can be booked as a package or arranged separately upon arrival, and include visits to monkeys in rehabilitation, hikes with a naturalist guide on 10 km (6 miles) of trails through several habitat types with enormous trees, and dips in streams and natural pools. Those looking to relax can take advantage of the the white-sand beach that lines the lodge during the dry season. All transfers are included.
