Sustainability

Our journey in the Amazon began in 2007 with the founding of the Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge, located on the banks of the Rio Negro, opposite Anavilhanas National Park. Since then, sustainability has been at the heart of our mission, reflecting our belief in the power of tourism as a tool for conservation.

Architecture

We chose a historic, listed building in the center of Manaus, a remnant of the golden age of rubber, as our setting to give new meaning to its history and add value to its surroundings. We also sought to highlight Amazonian traditions, from decoration to landscaping — our tropical garden is composed of native species, which help form a green roof that protects against the heat.

Waste

management

We follow a series of important measures, including the separation, cleaning, and organization of recyclable waste, as well as the replacement of plastic whenever possible. Our trash cans use kraft paper bags, and we do not use plastic bottles or straws in our restaurant, bar, or mini-bars — instead, we offer free filtered drinking water. Our bathroom amenities are biodegradable and provided in dispensers.  The collection and processing of materials is carried out by cooperatives in the region. Nespresso coffee capsules, on the other hand, are sent for reverse logistics.

We also minimize the use of single-use plastic as much as possible: our trash cans are lined with kraft paper bags, and we do not use plastic bottles or straws in our restaurant, bar, or minibars. We offer drinking water in glass bottles free of charge to guests and employees. The biodegradable amenities in our bathrooms are dispensed from dispensers.

The used cooking oil from our hotel’s restaurant is carefully stored in jugs and then sent to the specialized company INDAMA, which converts it into biofuel.

And electronic waste, such as light bulbs and batteries, is sorted and delivered to companies that properly dispose of these materials.

Energy

We use solar panels to heat water, reducing the consumption of electricity and fossil fuels. We also focus on everyday efforts, such as choosing equipment with lower energy usage. Since the beginning of 2026, the hotel has been purchasing its energy from the Open Energy Market, with 100% renewable sources.

Community

We believe in the importance of valuing and empowering the local community. We prioritize hiring locally and maintain a policy of paying salaries above market rates, , in accordance with the CLT contract model.

In addition to basic benefits, we offer interest-free loans so our employees can get involved in other projects, and we invest in their professional development through English courses and seminars focused on occupational health and safety. We also have an accident prevention committee and an open ethics channel for reporting concerns.

We also choose to work with regional suppliers and small producers, from the ingredients used in our kitchen to the decorative objects throughout our spaces.
