Those who live in the vast Amazonian plains feel the absence of high-altitude locations from which to observe the vastness of the forest and its great rivers. The Mirante do Gavião Lodge offers, in its leisure areas, in addition to a swimming pool, pier, lounge and restaurant, several viewpoints scattered throughout the property, where you can relax and enjoy the most diverse types of views: the Rio Negro, the Anavilhanas Archipelago, our birds, or even the friendly sloths of our little forest.
