Alta Vista Amazon Lodge

Everything about our stay was fantastic! It's a small, family-run lodge, but it's very well-equipped, and everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to Danilo, who helped us with everything and provided exceptional tour experiences. And the food is perfect! As my friend Daniel would say, “It's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very good!”

Our stay in July at Alta Vista Amazon Lodge was absolutely amazing! We are a family of four (two adults and our 19- and 22-year-old kids) and rented the Bungalow. The Bungalow had a spectacular balcony with an unobstructed view of the river, making it the perfect place to relax and take in the beauty of the Amazon. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning was very much appreciated after a day of exploring. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all outstanding. The wide variety of dishes allowed us to discover many delicious Brazilian and Amazonian specialties. The lodge grounds are beautiful, with lush trees, colorful flowers, and several inviting areas equipped with hammocks and lounge chairs where guests can unwind and enjoy nature. Being family-owned gives the lodge a warm, authentic atmosphere that made our experience even more special. Danielho, the owners' son, was our fantastic English-speaking guide and our go-to person throughout our stay. It was a true pleasure to discover the Amazon with him. His mother, Maria, is an absolute delight, and everyone we met, from the driver and the cook to Danielho's father made us feel genuinely welcome. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We would recommend Alta Vista Amazon Lodge without the slightest hesitation.

Nothing!

Sehr persönliche Betreuung. Abholservice aus Manaus am Hotel oder Flughafen. Super Essen. Vielen Dank an Maria und Küchenhilfe für die köstliche Versorgung. Essen und Getränke (Bier, Wein, Caipi) sind inklusive, auch zwei geführte Bootstouren am Tag. Schöne Aussicht auf den Amazonas. Das alles hat seinen Preis, für uns hat es sich aber gelohnt. Vielen Dank nochmals an Danilo und Familie!

Die Abwicklung der Zahlung war anfangs etwas kompliziert. Es hat sich aber alles geklärt nach entsprechender Kommunikation.

L’accoglienza del proprietario e della famiglia

Nulla

We spent 3 fantastic nights at this wonderful family run lodge. There were two tours a day, wonderful home cooked meals and seamless transfers all included in the price. The lodge is the only one in this region and as a result felt unspoilt. The rooms and garden are lovely with lots of outdoor space to chill between tours including hammocks and long chairs overlooking the river. We saw squirrel monkeys, sloths, iguanas, piranhas, countless birds and grey and pink river dolphins. Danilo is a passionate, personable and knowledgeable guide and his mother runs a wonderful kitchen. It felt like being guests in a family home. I recommend Alta Vista lodge very highly - we were really sorry to leave and share fond and fantastic memories.

A experiência é única. Fomos em familia e não poderiamos ser mais bem recebidos. Comida incrivel, saudável e natural. Passeios incluidos 2 por dia. O espaço é bem organizado e numa escala que permite o serviço personalizado. Aconselho e voltaria, sem qualquer dúvida.

Die Lage über dem Fluss ist einzigartig, die wilden Tiere im Garten, sowie das Bewusssein der Inhaber für den Erhalt der Natur ist ausserordentlich. Die Lodge ist sehr familiär und das Essen sehr gut.

Breakfast was amazing. A beautiful spread of food and the staff was more than willing to get you anything else they could, in my case that was additional fried eggs. There are also monkeys in the nearby trees in the mornings that are eating and playing. The staff is always available and more than happy to accommodate in any way they can. Danilo was a great tour guide and always in a great mood trying his best to make sure guests get to see the wild life and beautiful views.

The cottages are adorable however a little on the small side with small beds though I believe they are making some renovations and going to fix that!

Familiäre Atmosphäre

Nichts

La famiglia che lo gestisce è meravigliosa e i tour sono super inediti

Es ist einfach alles nur perfekt! Die Gastgeberfamilie, die Managerin Nathalia, die Köchinnen Edileni mit Donna Maria, Bootsführer Pedro und vorallem unser Multisprachtalent Leon sind alle einfach nur hinreissend und besonders herzlich! Das Bungalow mit Sicht auf den Manacapuru-River ist einfach überwältigend, auch wenn es ein bisschen teuer ist sollte man sich diese Option gut überlegen, denn es ist einfach alles inbegriffen selbst der Wein zu den Dinners und alle Touren ( 2 pro Tag ). Die Touren mit Leon sind vielseitig und sehr interessant. Riesigen Dank für dieses spezielle Erlebnis!!!

Nichts!!!

Ein Ort der wirklich mit Herz und Seele geführt wird. Werde die Erfahrung lange im Herzen tragen und immer in guter Erinnerung behalten. Wenn ihr eine echte Amazons Erfahrung ohne Massentourismus sucht und die Natur liebt dann unterstützt bitte diese tolle Familie und deren Mitarbeiter! 💚

Traurig das ich abreisen musste 🥲

We loved everything. Great family run business complemented by a dedicated team. With special mention to Pedro! Food delicious and locally sourced. Trips so interesting on the water and amended to meet the needs of visitors. We were the only ones on the river apart from the local people who live there or fishing.

Liked everything.

I had an incredible stay at Alta Vista Lodge. From arrival, Danilo and his staff were warm and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful, full of flowers and trees, with a peaceful view over the Rio Negro. My room was clean, stylish, and very comfortable, the bed was the best I’ve had during my travels! The food was fresh, varied, and delicious, and the homemade ice cream was amazing. The daily tours were well-organized and a great way to explore the area, with special thanks to Pedro (boat driver) and Leon (our fantastic guide). Overall, an exceptional experience, I highly recommend Alta Vista Lodge to anyone visiting the area.

Nothing everything was just amazing!

We had a truly memorable stay. The lodges are situated in a beautiful location with stunning views over the Manacapuru River. The garden was created with lots of attention to detail so that guests could enjoy and relax in the surroundings. But what made this stay unique was the family that ran this business. Their hospitality, generosity, kindness, and love for the place is incomparable to anything I have encountered before. We had great fun on the boat trips. The food was absolutely delicious. Can't recommend it enough. Thank you for making our stay so very special.

O hotel é bem intimista e super aconchegante. Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Danilo, a sra Maria e o Sr Milton. Fomos tratados como se fôssemos da família. Todas as refeições servidas são muito saborosas. Os passeios são sensacionais, uma verdadeira imersão no universo amazônico. Super recomendo.

Gostamos de tudo.

Tudo perfeito! É uma experiência incrível! O quarto é bastante confortável e como são poucos hóspedes, você fica num ambiente muito tranquilo e recebe muita atenção (é chamado até pelo nome). A comida de forma geral é excepcional. Comida regional com jeito de comida de vó. Os passeios acontecem com respeito à natureza e de forma muito tranquila, respeitando momentos de passeio e descanso. Agradeço especialmente ao Sr Milton pelas aulas e conhecimento passado. À Dona Maria, pela recepção e preocupação constantes, ao Leon, pelos passeios, conhecimento e experiência trocados e ao queridíssimo Narciso pelas comidas maravilhosas. Recomendo a todos!

Absolutamente nada.

Ubicación extraordinaria con vistas al río Manacapuru, su personal y su gestor Danilo, excelente persona que consigue que te encuentres en tu casa. Gastronomía maravillosa.

La cabaña es acogedora pero algo pequeña, aunque tiene todos los servicios incluido aire acondicionado.

Wunderschöne Anlage mit toller Aussicht! Die Anlage wird sehr gut gepflegt, täglich gereinigt. Das Essen ist absolut empfehlenswert und sehr lecker. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Touren waren wunderschön. Für Naturliebhaber der perfekte Ort! Man kann wirklich gut entspannen dort. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft sehr sehr empfehlen. Auch die Bezahlung verlief reibungslos, auch wenn wir zuerst sehr sleptisch waren. Hier können wir nur sagen: die Leute dort sind absolut vertrauenswürdig und herzlich. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Lieu avec vue exceptionnelle Le guide et le propriétaire ont mis tout en œuvre pour optimiser notre temps sur place et rendre notre séjour agréable.

Rien

Die Lage, die Ausflüge, der Blck auf dennRio Negro waren suoer

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit 2 Betten gebucht. De facto bietet die Lodge aber nur Zimmer mit einem Doppelbett an, das Einzelbett besteht aus einem ausziehbaren Bettrahmen mit Matratze, so dass man mehr oder weniger auf dem Boden liegt. Dies war leider nirgendwo ersichtlich und trübte den Aufenthalt, da man mit 63 Jahren immer so etwas nicht mehr möchte.

Der Blick von der Lodge auf den Fluss war atemberaubend! Das beste ist allerdings das so herzliche Personal. Danilo und seine Familie und die Guides haben immer ein offenes Ohr und helfen bei allem und kennen sich super mit der Natur aus!

Nichts

Das Personal war sehr freundlich, besonders unser Guide Leon war kompetent und unterhaltsam. Die Lage im Amazonas und die angebotenen Aktivitäten wie Piranha-Fischen haben uns gut gefallen. Das Essen war frisch und gesund, und durch die kleinen Gruppen entstand eine angenehme, familiäre Atmosphäre.

Einziger kleiner Punkt: Auf der Lodge selbst gäbe es noch Potenzial für zusätzliche Freizeitmöglichkeiten, falls man mal keinen Ausflug macht. Insgesamt ist der Aufenthalt nicht ganz günstig, aber die besonderen Erlebnisse und die Lage im Amazonas rechtfertigen viel.

The lodge vibe is amazing . family owned lodge in which they really take care about everything from activities to meals - never paying for extra prices

This is absolutely not a negative aspect, but the lodge is family owned so the activity choice is limited as run by family members/partner guides. Of course they make sure to always make guests choose which activities to do

- The view is amazing - The guided tour on the rivers with ranger in perfect English and far from touristic masses - the homemade food is excellent - all staff from the lodge is super nice

Nothing

Un luogo magico a contatto con la suggestiva natura del luogo. Esperienze carine, sistemazioni semplici ma accoglienti. Staff eccezionale in particolar modo la signora Maria e tutta la cucina che per giorni hanno preparato specialità varie e ogni volta buonissime. Super consigliato.

Tutto ok

L’accueil chaleureux et la grande générosité de cette famille Un grand merci aux cuisiniers qui nous ont cuisiné de merveilleux plats alors que nous avions une alimentation spéciale Les excursions étaient très sympas avec un guide (Léon)top

Les excursions étaient un peu courtes et le temps de pause était beaucoup trop long sachant que nous ne pouvions pas sortir de l’hôtel

Lieu hors du temps avec une équipe avenante. LODGE de famille

RAS

L'accueil familial, les excursions variées, la vue exceptionnelle, le site enchanteur, la qualité et la diversité des repas. Un grand merci à Danilo, à son équipe et à ses parents pour avoir créé ce lieu inoubliable!

Very welcoming, great home cooked food, they share their knowledge and love of the animals and vegetation with you. Be prepared to be out in the heat! Lovely cabins with private beds, air conditioning and bathrooms! Highly recommend who can do the 186 stairs to the water

Super atmospheric, perfect super tasty style, love for detail

Nothing

This is a fantastic option in the Amazon region! Is it 2 hour drive from my house; the hotel picks you up and takes you back. They offer two wonderful daily tours of the Amazon region; the guide/owner is super informative and very enthusiastic. The food is excellent, homemade every day; this was some of the best we had in our one month in Brazil. Everything is included in the price; the even have beer and wine included! The Casitas that you sleep in are adorable, and they are clean and well supplied. This is a small hotel, so there are not that many guests, and you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share your experience together.

Absolutely nothing, they were great! Oh, and they mentioned 168 stairs up from the river/ tours back to the hotel. I was anxious about that, but this retiree was able to do it every day in the heat. If you’re in moderately a good health and have no arthritis issues, there are no problems. Just take it slow.

A lot of love of Danilo, Maria, Natalia and the team is going into this lodge and in making sure you get a perfect experience. Great food and interesting tours give you an insight in this extraordinary Amazon region just a short drive from Manaus. Especially as all is included: accommodation, transfer from/to Manaus (airport or hotel), daily tours and all food and drinks.

We did a very extensive research on how to experience the Amazon River in Brazil and now after we have visited Alta Vista we could conclude that going to that lodge was the best way to get introduced to the River. We wish we would have known that after spending time at the lodge it is not really necessary to embark on a river excursion from Manaus.

Fantastic location great family

Toilet a job to flush

Absolutely wonderful, all-inclusive, family-run eco lodge overlooking the Manacapuru River, which included delicious homemade meals, great and diverse tours led by the personable and knowledgeable Danilo - twice a day, and, in the end, an unforgettable experience for the entire family. In the course of three days, we were able to see numerous wildlife, including sloths, squirrel and saki monkeys, dolphins, iguanas, piranhas, and a variety of birds in a beautiful setting. We were also be able to see where the Amazon River meets the Manacapuru River and swim in the Mancapuru River on multiple days. Highly recommend.

Not applicable.

Alta Vista Amazon Lodge sits on a beautiful property. The view of the river is spectacular and birds and monkeys are abundant. The meals we had were wonderful with great variety.

Can't think of any aspect of our visit that was disappointing.

Our stay was wonderful!! We are a family of 5 so we reserved the superior cabin and one of the smaller cabins. The superior bungalow is truly superior- and the view from its balcony is amazing. The smaller cabin was fine a well, but much more standard. Both cabins were very clean, the beds were comfortable, the sheets and towels were bleach white, and the coolers worked well! The kitchen staff made us delicious homemade meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there was always a variety to choose from. One of our family members has a dairy sensitivity, and the staff was very careful to indicate which foods contained diary products so she could avoid those. I appreciated their careful attention. And our excursions were so well done- many great and fun options. We spent 3 fill days there, and left feeling educated and engaged. At this family run lodge,you are treated like friends! Highly recommended!!

Nothing

The views of the Manacapuru River were unbeatable. The chalet that we stayed in was perfect in size and amenities and furnishing.

Super experience over five days. A real feel for the Amazon rainforest, river and culture. Wonderful host in Danilo - every day two boat trips out into the Manacapuru river to see dolphins, sloths, monkeys, iguanas, small crocodiles and amazing birds. Facilities are basic but the chalets have AC so nice and cool. Food is AMAZING … drinks - beer wine water sodas - all freely available included in the price. Plus excellent caiparinhas in the evening.

It was everything we hoped for

Family owned and run Amazon lodge. The food was fresh and delicious. The people were so kind and friendly. The tours were very authentic and amazing. It was an amazing adventure into the Amazon. Something our family will never forget.

My wife didn’t like the small frog that lived in our toilet. But your in the Amazon and you’ll see and experience a lot things in the wild.

Everything was incredible: the location, view, bot tripe, food, and service were all amazing. If that wasn’t enough, Danilo and his team made every effort to accommodate our needs including procuring a new microSD card for our camera. We were a little nervous about wiring money for the deposit but it worked great and we settled the remaining balance by credit card in site. We are so glad we were able to spend 4 nights in the bungalow. Memories for a lifetime. The food was amazing and everything was fresh and local. So many great ice creams and different fish to try. The tambaqui was our favorite. Highly recommend the floating forest boat tour. Very quiet and serene while floating through the trees.

All the food was amazing. It was home-cooked and with local ingredients. The offer was varied and abundant. The fish, in particular, was really good.

Nothing really, all very positive.

Amazing nature, different interesting plants, delicious local food, beautiful view over the river and great hosts, which are super friendly

The lodge is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the bungalow with a balcony overlooking the river. Amazing sunsets. The food was superb. Danilo and his family made us feel very welcome.

it was very very interesting! Danilo does everything to make your stay comfortable and interesting.

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. My girlfriend and I went on our first big trip from Australia, this was our first stop in Brazil. They made sure to make sure we always feel welcomed and feel at home. The tours take up most of the day and are very informative. We would definitely come back again, it is a lovely resort on a lovely part of the Amazon Rainforest. A++++++

Nothing, they done great.

The property was deep enough in the Amazon to have many wild encounters with animals. It was very personable and homely.

Nothing!

Best stay ever and we have visited many places in the past. Alta vista is just magical, the vibes , the peacefullnes and the love you receive from danilo and his parents. Amazing homemade food by Maria, homemade icecreams everyday with new amazonian fruits we have never heard of. And fresh food everyday (the best farofa i'v ever had in brazil). They catered to all our needs. The tours were absolutely amazin! Danilo and David have a true eagle eye, we got to see endless animals, birds and dolphins. We can't wait till our next trip to brazil so we can come back to this paradise

Exceptional stay beyond our expectations! Well organized tours, we were able to observe many animals and delicious food, with fruit juices from the Amazon and tasty ice creams. All in a most pleasant atmosphere and a concern that our stay is memorable.

Nothing!

Outstanding view on Amazon river!!!!!! Super exciting tours with Danilo and David (omg, this man has an eagle eye and sees every creature in the jungle) Dedicated huge thanks to Danilo's mother. She took excellent care about us and we felt home. And big thanks for the birthday cake for our son! Great memories! The loft was very comfortable for the family of 4 people.

Nothing. Just perfect!

Our stay at Alta Vista was truly unforgettable. We decided to end our two week trip around Brazil in the Amazon and we are so glad we chose Alta Vista for our stay. After spending two nights in Manaus town we were picked up by our driver, arranged by Alta Vista, and taken to our lodge. Upon arrival we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the hotel, the gardens, the surrounding nature, the lodges and most of all the breathtaking view of the Amazon and Manacapuru river. We stayed in the Superior Bungalow with a glorious balcony overlooking the river, from where we watched dolphins play and monkeys swing. The food and drink was freshly prepared every day for the guests using some of the fruits and vegetables grown in their own gardens. There was an amazing selection of food everyday with a variety of fish, meat, fruits and much more. They kindly catered to my dairy intolerance by providing lactose free milk, drinks and desserts, Maria (the main chef) even made me a delicious dairy free birthday cake. Each day we got to pick from a wide selection of jungle tours and experienced the beauty of the Amazon rainforest and river. We completed two 3-4 hour tours every day, each tour as unique as the next. We got to witness and experience the life of many animals within the rainforest including pink and grey dolphins, sloths, toucans, caimans, a wide variety of beautiful birds, iguanas, and monkeys to name a few. We visited flooded forests, watched multiple beautiful sunsets on the river, swam in the river, fished using traditional Amazonian methods catching a wide variety of fish including Puranas and witnessed the meeting of the waters. All the stays at Alta Vista are all inclusive including the food and drink, tours and transfers. Our host Danilo was incredible, from his vast knowledge of the Amazon and the surrounding nature to his hospitality and ensuring all our needs were catered for by himself and his amazing staff.

Nothing! It was perfect.

Our stay could not have been better. Danilo and his family are such gracious and welcoming hosts. They looked after our every need and even indulged our three boys with fishing adventures and crocodile sightings. The room was immaculate and had the most amazing view. We were able to sit on the deck and watch many dolphins jumping just below us as the sun set across the river. The food was simple and delicious and filled with local flavors. Our kids were particularly fond of the daily selection of different ice cream flavors. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Amazon experience with a good dose of comfort. As a side note, we also saw almost zero mosquitos and did not have a single bite on any of us.

Nothing. Everything was great.

a hotel run by a warm family, excellent service and wonderful food

nothing

Best way to see a unique part of the Amazon! This is a beautiful and unique experience in an untouched part of the Amazon. We were lucky to have several unique experiences with several different animals we didn’t expect to see. It was incredible. The home made food by mama Maria was out of this world. If you want a unique once in a life time experience, go here x

Everything was great with our three night stay at Alta Vista Amazon Lodge. Host Danilo is very knowledgeable with the wildlife and the plants of surrounding area. The schedule of the activities were well planned and the excursions were well organized. we saw many types of birds, gray and pink dolphins, sloths, caymans and monkeys. The home cooking meals by Danilo’s mother were very tasty with fresh fruits. The staff were very friendly. The facilities were basic but functional. The location is about one hour and a half from Manaus. Transportation to the property is provided. Overall, it was a great Amazon experience.

None

Amazing lodge overlooking the Manacapuru/Amazon river! The owners and staff are really lovely and take care of everything. Danilo, the son of the owners, speaks English very well (which is quite unique in Brazil) and accompanies all tours with great enthusiasm. The rooms are clean, cosy and have comfortable beds! The food is homemade, delicious, has fresh ingredients and lots of choice. The Caiprinha cocktails of Maria are also highly recommended while laying on the sun beds overlooking the river. Not to forget, the “cheese, wine, dolphins and sunset” boat tour is picture perfect! As we read in other conments, the prices on booking indeed are all-inclusive (besides including all tours, it also includes airport transfer, all food, drinks and even alcoholic beverages). Our stay has been absolutely worth it!

Nothing: everything was perfect

It's very difficult to convey just how special Alta Vista is. Everything about it is perfect. The views of the river from the property are are incredible. The rooms are spotless and comfortable, with hot water and air conditioning. The food was delicious and fresh - lots of fruit and fish. The best part of our stay, however, were the people. Danilo and his parents are truly lovely people. They were so kind and accommodating. They made sure that we were comfortable at all levels times and we will never forget their hospitality. I really hope we can go back soon.

Every part of the stay at Alta Vista Amazon Lodge exceeded our expectations. The transfer from Manaus was easy to arrange and provided some additional sightseeing. The meals are home cooked, with many options for our family that had various dietary needs. They were so accommodating, and in the end we just kept eating too much. Fresh juices, local fish, homemade Acai and ice creams and more. The excursions around the river were also very enjoyable. It is a small lodge which means you have much more of a personalized experience. Small boats with a driver and guide took us out into the river to watch dolphins, fish for piranhas, and even take a swim.

The water was low during our stay, which was just due to the season. I would suggest trying to book when the water is higher. That being said, they made the best of it for us and in the end we still got to do and see everything we had hoped for.

Wonderful location & accomodation with very few mosquitos in the middle of amazon rain forest, with excellent personalized hostmanship.

-

This was a basically perfect way to experience the Amazon. The lodge is rustic and comfortable for those who don't mind roughing it a little. The best thing is they treat you more like a friend visiting from out of town than a customer. They do everything they can to make you welcome and enjoy your stay. Be prepared for really experiencing the rainforest up close, including getting rained on in an open boat while out fishing for piranhas or seeing pink dolphins, or getting a bit muddy while tramping through the jungle, and you'll have a great time. I can't recommend it highly enough!

After a few weeks touring we stayed at this fantastic property for three nights. The hosts are wonderful people who made our three night stay truly memorable. The location overlooks the Manacapuru river with breathtaking views. The chalets are detached and offer very comfortable double beds and private bathrooms which are spotlessly clean. We opted to eat at the property and the food was outstanding definitely better than many 5star restaurants. The owners Maria, Milton and Daniello ensured that we were afforded every comfort available. They provided exceptional service and really made us feel welcome. There are saki monkeys in the nearby trees with abundant birdlife. Milton explained what the fruits growing in the gardens. Maria's homemade ice cream with a cold beer sitting on the viewing platform at sunset left a lasting memory of our trip.

Very nice hotel with the most amazing view of the river. The hotel is family owned, intimate and private. No large crowds or loud noises, particularly if you book during the week. They can arrange for you to travel the river, if you want to, but we decided to stay put and chill. Breakfast is included in the price, the other meals are provided at a reasonable cost.
