Ariau Amazon Towers - the only tree top hotel in the Amazon
Ariau is located 35 miles from Manaus on the confluence of the Rio Negro and Ariau Creek at the foot of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, the largest fresh water archipelago in the world. The region is considered one of the most biologically diverse regions known to man.
Ariau Amazon Towers is a lodge that is completely built at the level of the rainforest canopy with catwalks 70 feet up leading from a great circular dining room of polished tropical woods, a bar like an eagle's nest, a honeymoon suite built 110 feet up a mahogany tree, and friendly monkeys, macaws, sloths, and parrots scampering, fluttering, and dangling all over the place.
Ariau is formed of 8 wood towers linked by high catwalks (all about 30 feet high, tree top level), and features standard rooms and suites, also called Tarzan Houses.
