Nestled on the banks of the Rio Claro in São José do Rio Claro, Jardim da Amazônia Lodge offers an authentic gateway to the southern Amazon Basin. Located about 300 km north of Cuiabá, the lodge sits in a unique transitional zone between the Cerrado and the Amazon rainforest, giving guests access to two incredible ecosystems in one location. The lodge has 12 comfortable accommodations, including standard rooms and family bungalows, all with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and balconies overlooking the gardens or river. There is the option to relax in the natural spring-fed swimming pool, explore the lush gardens, or enjoy activities like hiking, canoeing, and bird watching.
