This map here below shows you, why Nature Safaris´ Eco Lodges are classified as Rainforest Adventure Stations !
The more distant you are from Manaus, the more wildlife and untouched rainforest you will find!!!!
Jungle is remaining and destroyed rainforest !!
Remember Nature Safaris, not only due to the distance itself,
but also because we only have 16 apartments available,
greatly reducing the great movement of people in the region,
which reduces the negative impact.
There are other establishments in contrast with our philosophy, that have up to 400 apartments and others with 75.
We of Nature Safaris are always protecting the Rainforestand it´s environment.
