This is absolutely not a negative aspect, but the lodge is family owned so the activity choice is limited as run by family members/partner guides. Of course they make sure to always make guests choose which activities to do

The lodge vibe is amazing . family owned lodge in which they really take care about everything from activities to meals - never paying for extra prices

Absolutely nothing, they were great! Oh, and they mentioned 168 stairs up from the river/ tours back to the hotel. I was anxious about that, but this retiree was able to do it every day in the heat. If you’re in moderately a good health and have no arthritis issues, there are no problems. Just take it slow.

This is a fantastic option in the Amazon region! Is it 2 hour drive from my house; the hotel picks you up and takes you back. They offer two wonderful daily tours of the Amazon region; the guide/owner is super informative and very enthusiastic. The food is excellent, homemade every day; this was some of the best we had in our one month in Brazil. Everything is included in the price; the even have beer and wine included! The Casitas that you sleep in are adorable, and they are clean and well supplied. This is a small hotel, so there are not that many guests, and you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share your experience together.

We did a very extensive research on how to experience the Amazon River in Brazil and now after we have visited Alta Vista we could conclude that going to that lodge was the best way to get introduced to the River. We wish we would have known that after spending time at the lodge it is not really necessary to embark on a river excursion from Manaus.

Absolutely wonderful, all-inclusive, family-run eco lodge overlooking the Manacapuru River, which included delicious homemade meals, great and diverse tours led by the personable and knowledgeable Danilo - twice a day, and, in the end, an unforgettable experience for the entire family. In the course of three days, we were able to see numerous wildlife, including sloths, squirrel and saki monkeys, dolphins, iguanas, piranhas, and a variety of birds in a beautiful setting. We were also be able to see where the Amazon River meets the Manacapuru River and swim in the Mancapuru River on multiple days. Highly recommend.

Can't think of any aspect of our visit that was disappointing.

Alta Vista Amazon Lodge sits on a beautiful property. The view of the river is spectacular and birds and monkeys are abundant. The meals we had were wonderful with great variety.

Our stay was wonderful!! We are a family of 5 so we reserved the superior cabin and one of the smaller cabins. The superior bungalow is truly superior- and the view from its balcony is amazing. The smaller cabin was fine a well, but much more standard. Both cabins were very clean, the beds were comfortable, the sheets and towels were bleach white, and the coolers worked well! The kitchen staff made us delicious homemade meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there was always a variety to choose from. One of our family members has a dairy sensitivity, and the staff was very careful to indicate which foods contained diary products so she could avoid those. I appreciated their careful attention. And our excursions were so well done- many great and fun options. We spent 3 fill days there, and left feeling educated and engaged. At this family run lodge,you are treated like friends! Highly recommended!!

The views of the Manacapuru River were unbeatable. The chalet that we stayed in was perfect in size and amenities and furnishing.

It was everything we hoped for

Super experience over five days. A real feel for the Amazon rainforest, river and culture. Wonderful host in Danilo - every day two boat trips out into the Manacapuru river to see dolphins, sloths, monkeys, iguanas, small crocodiles and amazing birds. Facilities are basic but the chalets have AC so nice and cool. Food is AMAZING … drinks - beer wine water sodas - all freely available included in the price. Plus excellent caiparinhas in the evening.

My wife didn’t like the small frog that lived in our toilet. But your in the Amazon and you’ll see and experience a lot things in the wild.

Family owned and run Amazon lodge. The food was fresh and delicious. The people were so kind and friendly. The tours were very authentic and amazing. It was an amazing adventure into the Amazon. Something our family will never forget.

Everything was incredible: the location, view, bot tripe, food, and service were all amazing. If that wasn’t enough, Danilo and his team made every effort to accommodate our needs including procuring a new microSD card for our camera. We were a little nervous about wiring money for the deposit but it worked great and we settled the remaining balance by credit card in site. We are so glad we were able to spend 4 nights in the bungalow. Memories for a lifetime. The food was amazing and everything was fresh and local. So many great ice creams and different fish to try. The tambaqui was our favorite. Highly recommend the floating forest boat tour. Very quiet and serene while floating through the trees.

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. My girlfriend and I went on our first big trip from Australia, this was our first stop in Brazil. They made sure to make sure we always feel welcomed and feel at home. The tours take up most of the day and are very informative. We would definitely come back again, it is a lovely resort on a lovely part of the Amazon Rainforest. A++++++

The property was deep enough in the Amazon to have many wild encounters with animals. It was very personable and homely.

Best stay ever and we have visited many places in the past. Alta vista is just magical, the vibes , the peacefullnes and the love you receive from danilo and his parents. Amazing homemade food by Maria, homemade icecreams everyday with new amazonian fruits we have never heard of. And fresh food everyday (the best farofa i'v ever had in brazil). They catered to all our needs. The tours were absolutely amazin! Danilo and David have a true eagle eye, we got to see endless animals, birds and dolphins. We can't wait till our next trip to brazil so we can come back to this paradise

Outstanding view on Amazon river!!!!!! Super exciting tours with Danilo and David (omg, this man has an eagle eye and sees every creature in the jungle) Dedicated huge thanks to Danilo's mother. She took excellent care about us and we felt home. And big thanks for the birthday cake for our son! Great memories! The loft was very comfortable for the family of 4 people.

Our stay at Alta Vista was truly unforgettable. We decided to end our two week trip around Brazil in the Amazon and we are so glad we chose Alta Vista for our stay. After spending two nights in Manaus town we were picked up by our driver, arranged by Alta Vista, and taken to our lodge. Upon arrival we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the hotel, the gardens, the surrounding nature, the lodges and most of all the breathtaking view of the Amazon and Manacapuru river. We stayed in the Superior Bungalow with a glorious balcony overlooking the river, from where we watched dolphins play and monkeys swing. The food and drink was freshly prepared every day for the guests using some of the fruits and vegetables grown in their own gardens. There was an amazing selection of food everyday with a variety of fish, meat, fruits and much more. They kindly catered to my dairy intolerance by providing lactose free milk, drinks and desserts, Maria (the main chef) even made me a delicious dairy free birthday cake. Each day we got to pick from a wide selection of jungle tours and experienced the beauty of the Amazon rainforest and river. We completed two 3-4 hour tours every day, each tour as unique as the next. We got to witness and experience the life of many animals within the rainforest including pink and grey dolphins, sloths, toucans, caimans, a wide variety of beautiful birds, iguanas, and monkeys to name a few. We visited flooded forests, watched multiple beautiful sunsets on the river, swam in the river, fished using traditional Amazonian methods catching a wide variety of fish including Puranas and witnessed the meeting of the waters. All the stays at Alta Vista are all inclusive including the food and drink, tours and transfers. Our host Danilo was incredible, from his vast knowledge of the Amazon and the surrounding nature to his hospitality and ensuring all our needs were catered for by himself and his amazing staff.

Our stay could not have been better. Danilo and his family are such gracious and welcoming hosts. They looked after our every need and even indulged our three boys with fishing adventures and crocodile sightings. The room was immaculate and had the most amazing view. We were able to sit on the deck and watch many dolphins jumping just below us as the sun set across the river. The food was simple and delicious and filled with local flavors. Our kids were particularly fond of the daily selection of different ice cream flavors. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Amazon experience with a good dose of comfort. As a side note, we also saw almost zero mosquitos and did not have a single bite on any of us.
