The lodge is located in the heart of the reserve, 3 Km far from the entrance in the Transpantaneira road. By the side of river Novo and under the shadow of huge leafy trees, it is constituted by a group of several individual nature-respectful low buildings, earth-coloured and with brown tile roofs. Four of them, rectangular-shaped, are destined to administration, laundry, service staff, guides, bar and interpretation center. Another small group of rounded huts is appointed to several common areas, such as the restaurant, kitchen and food-store, a second bar or the Internet room. The ones destined to ecotourism and nature researchers are six square buildings (Mutúm, Jacaré, Capivara, Tucano, Sucurí and Tamanduá). Each of them, surrounded by a 200 m2 porch with chairs and hammocks, has four independent rooms, all of them with complete individual bathroom and hot water, electric fan and ample windows with mosquito nets. Every room (to choose between double or matrimony beds) has craft furniture with clothes shelves, side tables and writing desk.

You can request Tamanduá suite building, which has two rooms and a large private living room for those who need to meet or work during their sojourn.

Restaurant Curicaca is one of the main privileges of the lodge. Round-shape built and completely opened, surrounded by mosquito net, it is located in the most external part of the lodge, in contact with the dense jungle, and, like a hide, it constitutes a perfect observatory to watch wildlife during lunch and dinner, as well as taking pictures through its observation window. Completely craft-elaborate, its seven big individual rustic-wood tables offer capacity for all the guests of the lodge. In the central round table you will find at your disposal a varied regional meals buffet or, if you prefer, our a la carte menu. It all with the highest quality and accompanied by the varied drinks needed.

During the break moments or when no one of our activities is requested, visitors will have at their disposal our swimming pool and gardens, as well as both bars Tuiuiú (next to the restaurant) and Tapir (next to the swimming pool), where you will enjoy the traditional caipirinhas or any other cocktail or refreshment.

Also, our computer room with Internet connection is available in any moment when needed. Anyway, we have wireless Wi-Fi connection along the whole area for those who prefer to connect with their own computer. Our laundry service can also be requested by any guest who needs it
