Juma Amazon Lodge

Everything from the moment we arrived and even the trip to the lodge was perfection. The food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was phenomenal. The staff were so warm and welcoming. The river bungalow with our private hammock looking out to the Amazon river was amazing. All of these things were perfect, but our guide, Leon, is what made the experience at Juma truly unforgettable. His expertise, his stories, his passion for the forest, and his goal of making our Amazon dreams come true is what we will remember most of our stay. Leon went above and beyond for us and in the process we’ve made some lifelong connections with our tour group and him. When we travel back into the Amazon or Brazil we wouldn’t have anyone other than him as our guide. If you are considering staying at Juma, don’t think about it, just book it. The food, immersive atmosphere, and just everything about it will give you the Amazon rainforest trip of your dreams. We especially loved the jungle hike and caiman tour.

Friendly staff. Beautiful location! Great food. My room with balcony and hammock made me want to move in! I enjoyed the boating excursions, but bring umbrella for shade if it is sunny! Guides were knowledgeable. I appreciated they had local, indigenous food available for all meals to try. I would appreciate if they sold aloe or after-sun lotion. Perhaps some cream made by local ingredients would be great.
