Jardim da Amazônia is a family-run ecolodge tucked into a private reserve at the southern edge of the Amazon basin in Mato Grosso, where decades of tireless conservation work have created a haven for nearly 600 bird species and seven species of primates, including the critically endangered Cone-billed Tanager. Expect comfortable chalets, excellent home cooking, a spring-fed swimming pool, and boat safaris along the Rio Claro through untouched forest.





Where worlds collide with spectacular results, the Amazon takes many forms in its vast southern sector.
