| "Imagine a hotel
built among Amazon treetops: 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." Conde Nast Traveler, March 1996 "25 Extraordinary Places Worth That Extra mile" 
"After lunch our little international group pile into a motorized canoe
with Ricardo our guide and we're off for the afternoon to explore the
flooded forest. As we leave Ariau Creek and approach the Rio Negro, an
indescribable feeling of vastness fills me with wonder as we approach
the mouth of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, largest fresh water grouping
of islands in the world. Here the river becomes an ocean at 17 miles from
shore to shore. Pink dolphins splashing from the water create a magical
landscape only equaled by a Peter Max painting. The sky seems to go on
and on forever. We enter the flooded forest or igapo and the motor is
turned off, and then the wonder of the rainforest explodes around us as
we navigate the backwaters. The primordial forest, vines, lianas, bromeliads,
butterflies. "This is why I came, it is all right in front of me. I have
returned to the place I love."
