A Hidden Treasure

Kendjam is located near the headwaters of the Irirí river, in one of the most hidden areas of Brazilian Amazon: the Mekragnoti Indigenous Territory. Kendjam is located 550 miles southeast from Manaus and the plane to the lodge lands on the airstrip right in the Kendjam Indian Community.

The Iriri River

The Iriri river begins its journey to the jungle on the border of Mato Grosso and the state of Para, and runs into the northeast side of the Brazilian Amazon for more than 800 miles until it meets the Xingu River. It’s the most protected river in the southern Brazilian Amazon, with more than 500 miles inside indigenous lands and ecological reserves.

Remote Destination With Easy Logistics

Once guests arrive in Manaus, our host will pick them up for a transfer to a boutique hotel for the first overnight. The adventure begins the second day, when guests are transferred to the local airport, to board the private charter plane. After the three hour flight, they will arrive at the Kendjam Indian Community landing strip where our guides will be waiting to get into the lodge.
