The next time you find yourself in the middle of the Amazon, be sure to make your way via GPS to the Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel. You'll think you've found yourself in the middle of a movie set.

What makes Ariau Amazon Towers different from your typical Hilton is that its towers - are situated up to 22 metres from ground level in the towers built in the tree tops of the Amazon Rainforest. Currently, there are 7 towers, with 288 rooms, each of which are connected by wooden catwalks which total 5 miles - and are all under cover from the rainforest.

Just 35 miles from the city of Manaus in Brazil, the Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel is located at the joining of the Rio Negro and the Ariau Creek, and at the bottom of the Anavilhanas Archipelago. The area of the Amazon Rainforest is considered one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world, and Ariau Amazon Towers works to support the ecological diversity of the area. One tower, the "Aviary of Hope" is a project that was started to house medicinal plants, offer education on the Amazon's ecology, give refuge to endangered species of animals, birds, and other wildlife of the Rainforest.

When staying at the Ariau Amazon Towers, there are a variety of activities, tours, and excursions available. These include tours within the forest, canoe tours, caiman (alligator) spotting, sunrise tours of the rainforest, fishing for piranhas, and visiting the homes of natives.

When not trekking through the Amazon, relaxing in your room built in a dark mahogony tree, there are always the friendly monkeys and parrot to keep you entertained. A great testament to ecological preservation and sustainability, the Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel is a must-see the next time you visit Brazil's Amazon Rainforest.
