Ayahuasca in the Amazon
A journey into the spiritual heart of the Amazon, where ancient songs, forest wisdom, and traditional ayahuasca ceremonies guide seekers through deep reflection and connection.
Step into the heart of the Amazon – where mighty rivers wind through endless rainforest, and life moves to the rhythm of nature.
The best starting point for such an experience is Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The city is the gateway to the Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest. In the surrounding region, you’ll find jungle lodges and riverboats offering complete packages with everything included.
Everyone should have the chance to experience the Amazon – it leaves you richer in unforgettable memories and with a deeper understanding of the world’s most vital ecosystem.

With over 15 years of experience, Tucan Amazon Lodge is one of the most trusted and accessible jungle lodges near Manaus. Located on the mosquito-free Rio Negro, it offers beautiful views, comfortable cabins, and excellent chances to see pink river dolphins. Guided activities are included, and the location makes it easy to reach by boat. This is also the most budget-friendly option — perfect for first-time visitors, families, or anyone looking for an affordable and well-organized Amazon experience without long travel times.
Paroá Amazon Lodge offers a deeper jungle experience in a remote and untouched area far from other tourists. On the boat trip to or from the lodge, you pass two iconic highlights: the Meeting of the Waters and Janauari Ecological Park. Once at Paroá, you’re surrounded by primary rainforest, abundant wildlife, and the constant sounds of nature. With simple but charming facilities, this is a peaceful and rewarding choice for those seeking real nature immersion – and still at a reasonable price.
For those with time, a multi-day riverboat journey may be the most complete way to experience the Amazon. Travel along remote tributaries, sleep onboard, visit river communities, and see the forest change as you move through it. This is the most exclusive and comprehensive option – and typically the most expensive. We often recommend combining a river cruise with a lodge stay, and boats can pick up or drop off guests directly at both Tucan and Paroá lodges.
