Jardim da Amazônia Lodge is a nature-focused lodge in São José do Rio Claro, Mato Grosso, set in the Amazon-Cerrado transition between Cuiabá and Sinop. Family-owned and committed to conservation, the property has been preserved by the Zanchet family since 1986 and has welcomed guests since 1997. It offers a welcoming base for exploring the region’s forests, wetlands, open habitats, and clear waters.

Guests can choose from bungalows, historic rooms, and forest suites, with full-board meals featuring family recipes and regional ingredients. The lodge’s experiences include guided birdwatching, primate observation, ecological trails, and boat safaris on the Rio Claro. More than 590 bird species have been recorded locally, alongside five primate species in its public wildlife records. Visitors can also enjoy the spring-fed natural pool or arrange a day-use visit with lunch and access to shared areas.

Jardim da Amazônia supports field research on wildlife, plants, and biodiversity through its Research Station, including work on primates, jaguars, and wildlife monitoring.
