Jane's Place

 

Built in a beautiful clearing in the middle of the primary forest, Jane’s Place, our jungle survival camp, brings guests in close contact with the rainforest and its inhabitants.  Guests have the opportunity to stay overnight and experience this fascinating ecosystem both day and night.  Avid trekkers can stay at the camp before continuing with deeper jungle exploration, while day visitors can enjoy lunch here before returning to Amazonat Jungle Lodge.  Jane’s Place is 2km (1.2 miles) from our main camp or about a 2-3 hour walk.

Jane’s Place is built in the local native style with open walls and a roof made from 1500 palm leaves. The basic structure is made with Acariquara - Minquartia guianensis (iron wood), known to be resistant to termites,  and has a life expectancy of over 100 years.  Jane’s Place is built with the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) “smartwood” label like all other constructions at Amazonat.   The camp is bordered by a blackwater “igarape” or stream, ideal for a refreshing swim after your jungle walk.

Accommodations

 

 

 

Jane’s Place provides basic but comfortable accommodations.  Guests sleep in hammocks and get a sense of how the indigenous people sleep.  You will be surprised how comfortable and relaxing it is!   Just lay back and let the frogs and crickets sing you to sleep.  Jane’s Place sleeps 16 guests in hammocks suspended over one of two decks.  The guest bathroom is near the main building and is operated with a manual hand pump. Kerosene lamps provide light at night.  Mosquitoes are not a problem here most of the year since the low acidity of the blackwater stream inhibits their proliferation.  In the peak of the rainy season (April) however, there are some present here (not at the Lodge) for about two weeks.  Insect repellent is recommended as the best protection.

Food is brought from Amazonat Jungle Lodge.  Safe drinking mineral water is obtained from the nearby stream.

For those spending the night we will maintain their rooms at Amazonat Jungle Lodge where they can safely leave their belongings.  Guests staying for more nights can leave their extra luggage conveniently stored away in a locker at Amazonat Jungle Lodge until their return. There are also locked storage facilities at Jane’s Place if needed.

In order to preserve this pristine location, maximum attention is paid to collecting and disposing of waste properly and enjoying the surroundings in a non-destructive way.  Guests are asked to be especially aware of our philosophy “to take only memories (and photographs) and leave only footsteps”. 

Indian Camp







Deep in the primary forest, more than a day’s walk from our ecolodge, is our primitive camp called Indian Camp.  It is essentially a stopover point with roofs to provide shelter for the night. Built for the hardcore trekker and adventurer, those visiting this location are required to carry a hammock, food and water.  This is a great way to really live the jungle and put to test the survival skills learned. For more details see our Extreme Jungle Trekking package.
