3 Best Hotels in The Amazon, Brazil

Name: Fazenda Carmo
Address: Salvaterra, Pará, 68660-000, Brazil
Telephone: 091-3015–1019
Price range: $$$

Amazon hotel prices tend to be reasonable and include breakfast. Services and amenities such as laundry, however, may cost quite a bit extra. Don't expect to be pampered. When checking in, ask about discounts (descontos). During the slow season and midweek, you may get a break. Cry a little, as the Brazilians say, and you may get a larger discount. Paying with cash may lower the price. Rooms have air-conditioning, TVs, phones, and bathrooms unless we indicate otherwise, but showers don't always have hot water. Jungle lodges and smaller hotels in outlying areas often lack basic amenities.

Fazenda Carmo

$$$ | Salvaterra, 68660-000, Brazil Fodor's Choice

As a guest in this small, antiques-filled farmhouse, you're privy to wonderful hospitality in a simple and rustic setting, and homestyle meals prepared with farm-fresh ingredients. Fazenda Carmo has fascinating activities like early-morning canoe trips in search of howler monkeys, horseback rides through wildlife-rich pastures, and muddy jeep rides to an archaeological site. You can watch the farmhands herd the water buffalo and even ride on one. Powered by a generator, electricity is not constant and there is no air-conditioning. The fazenda can accommodate eight to 10 people, and stays are part of a package that includes meals, an English-speaking guide, and transportation to and from Camará (a 90-minute trip via van and boat). If you speak Portuguese, call the Fazenda directly and you may get a better price.
