Travel to Brazil

There are several convenient options for reaching Manaus International Airport (MAO), with non-stop flights from Fort Lauderdale, Panama City, Lisbon, Bogotá, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. We recommend planning your arrival in Manaus at least one day before your scheduled departure to Pirarucú Lodge.

When booking your international flight, allow ample connection time to make your domestic transfer to Manaus. Upon arrival at Manaus International Airport, our host will meet you for an immediate transfer to a comfortable boutique hotel located in one of the city’s best neighborhoods.

Please note that all travelers entering Brazil must collect their luggage at the first point of entry in the country for immigration and customs clearance, and then re-check their bags to their final destination.
If Manaus is not your first entry point, your luggage will not be automatically transferred, and you’ll need to complete this process before boarding your domestic flight.

Domestic Flights:
You’ll need to arrange your domestic flights between Manaus (MAO) and Tefé (TFF) with Azul Airlines. Tickets can be purchased directly at www.voeazul.com.br or through your preferred travel agent for convenience.

For the 2026 season, Azul Airlines operates regular flights Manaus–Tefé–Manaus every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We recommend planning your itinerary around these flight days.

If your travel schedule doesn’t align with the commercial flight options, we can also arrange private charter flights upon request for added flexibility and comfort.

Baggage

Please do not bring unnecessary weight to the camp. You will be able to leave items not needed in camp with the hotel concierge in Manaus if you are returning to the hotel at the end of the week. We recommend this for travelling clothes, etc. The camp has daily laundry service, so bringing a lot of clothing is not necessary. Make sure to have your luggage under the Azul Airlines weight limitations - 50lbs. Please avoid HARD BODY LUGGAGE.
