Eywa Lodge Amazonas is located in the Amazon rainforest, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and home to an astonishing variety of species. Spanning nine countries, the Amazon hosts an incredible array of wildlife, including pink river dolphins, jaguars, toucans, sloths, and over 40,000 plant species. Each layer of the rainforest—from the canopy to the forest floor – harbors unique ecosystems, making it an unparalleled destination for nature lovers and science enthusiasts alike.
- Flora: With more than 40,000 plant species, the Amazon rainforest is a treasure trove of natural resources. Many plants have medicinal properties, such as the cinchona tree, used to produce quinine and treat malaria. Brazil nuts and açaí berries are just a few examples of the Amazon’s contributions to global agriculture. In addition, more than 25% of modern medicines are derived from rainforest plants, demonstrating the immense potential of this ecosystem. The Amazon’s lush vegetation is also home to some of the tallest trees in the tropics, such as the ceiba tree, which can reach 60 meters in height.
- Fauna: The Amazon is a sanctuary for an amazing variety of wildlife. It is home to approximately 2.5 million species of insects, including the colorful morpho butterfly and leaf-cutter ants, which play crucial roles in the ecosystem. The rainforest is also home to 1,300 species of birds, such as the harpy eagle, one of the largest and most powerful birds of prey. Among its 430 mammal species are unique creatures such as the giant anteater, the capybara-the world’s largest rodent-and the iconic jaguar. Its rivers and streams are home to more than 3,000 species of fish, including the piranha and the endangered arapaima, one of the world’s largest freshwater fish.

Guided tours highlight the use of medicinal plants, fascinating animal behavior and essential conservation efforts to protect this ecosystem.
