Pousada Ecológica Seringal Cachoeira

Top choice in The Amazon


This ecolodge is set in a working rubber forest and has cozy accommodations plus guided hikes and activities. Lodging is in large dorms or comfortable stand-alone 'chalets,’ while meals (lunch and dinner R$30) are served in the spacious main building. It's 32km north of Xapuri where Chico Mendes first tapped rubber trees and collected Brazil nuts.

On Hwy BR-317, look for a turnoff 4km south of the Xapuri junction; from there it’s another 16km by well-maintained dirt road to the lodge. A taxi from Xapuri costs R$120.
