Your film set in the Amazon jungle

For groups of up to 70 people in permanent facilities

The facilities are spread over a 15,000 m2 garden and accommodate groups in double and single rooms, with 15 shared bathrooms.

All on a 200-hectare peninsula of dense forests, with lakes and narrow streams, and 1.5 km of river frontage, with endless jungle all around.

Less than 2 hours from Manaus

An environment rich in nature and people, close to supply and service centres, allows for efficient and economic production strategies.

We have energy self-sufficiency, excellent water, internet, kitchen, restaurant, warehouses, changing rooms, make-up, infirmary and even the perfect replica of an indigenous village.

The jungle people

The reality of the local inhabitant, generally an immigrant from other more or less distant lands, who arrived in times of spices, rubber or gold, is based on subsistence agriculture, hunting and fishing, gathering fruits and medicinal plants, and sporadic services rendered to third parties according to their skills. 

The Amazonian native, since he was a child, is capable of feeling and doing differently from what we know in our modern societies. In these tropical forests they develop a high level of attention, perception and intuition.

These characteristics, the result of adaptation to the most diversified ecosystem on the planet, transform them into unusual human beings. 

Fauna

The two species of river dolphins regularly appear in the environment, smooth and scaled fish, caimans, anacondas, turtles; porcupines, sloths, chameleons and bats inhabit the many deserted islands of the bay of Paroá. 

Fishing birds, macaws, toucans, oropendolas, vultures; the skies are always in motion. 

The mainland jungle is rich in felines, primates, rodents, anteaters, tapirs, butterflies, beetles, mimetic insects…

Botany

The vegetation cover of the 140 hectares of the A.F.C. is mostly made up of continuous and primary forests of lianas, palms and emergent trees, which rise to a height of more than 50 metres. 

The terrain offers more than 2 km of river banks, and several streams run through the dense interior, creating luminous spaces of great beauty, where orchids, brómelias and hummingbirds abound.

Seasons in central Amazonia

One of the most seasonally changing places in the world

Summer

In the months of September to December the waters are low and the landscape is characterised by wide coasts, deserted beaches, fishing birds, plenty of sunshine and less rain.

The water level slowly drops from 10 to 20 metres, depending on the slope of the terrain that limits it. 

The changes are spectacular, the coasts show their contours and the navigation channel becomes narrow and winding. 

Islands and islets emerge, resting places for fishing birds and master species of camouflage.

 

It is also a time of millenary discoveries. Ceramic pieces from the indigenous peoples who lived there centuries before the arrival of the Europeans appear on the shores of the land.

Winter

In the months of January to April the waters rise and enter the low jungle creating the igapó, the flooded forest, where the dolphin and paddle canoes can enter.
This is the rainiest time of the year, although after the storm passes, the light is usually exceptional.

In the months of May to July the waters have reached their zenith, it is the world of open doors, of reflections and of all the greens.

More than 20 years operating in the Amazon offer the possibility to share the knowledge of a dynamic society as diversified as the nature that surrounds it.
