Uakari Lodge

Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, Brazilian Amazon

A floating, community-run lodge within the Mamirauá Reserve, home to one of the Amazon’s rarest primates.

Overview

Uakari Lodge floats on the flooded forest of the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, a community-run property built specifically around the conservation of the reserve’s rare wildlife.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

Simple floating bungalows connected by walkways, each rising and falling with the seasonal flood cycle of the forest below.

Food & Service

Home-style Amazonian meals served communally at the lodge.

Activities

Canoe excursions through the flooded forest, tracking the endemic white uakari monkey and Amazon river dolphins.

Wildlife & Photography

Mamirauá is the primary stronghold of the white uakari monkey, alongside pink and grey river dolphins and a rich diversity of Amazonian wildlife adapted to seasonal flooding.

A Photographer's Note

Canoe-based access at water level allows for close, quiet approaches to uakari monkeys in the flooded canopy, rarely possible from a larger boat.

Conservation & Impact

Uakari Lodge is community-owned and directly funds the Mamirauá Institute’s research and protection of the reserve’s flooded forest ecosystem.
