Uakari Lodge floats on assacu logs inside Mamirauá, Brazil's first Sustainable Development Reserve, so the camp rises and falls with a flood pulse that can change the water by 12 metres. Five solar-powered bungalows hold 10 rooms; ribeirinho communities run more than 90 percent of the operation, a model primatologist José Márcio Ayres helped set up to fund the white uakari monkey's flooded forest. Condé Nast Traveler named it the world's best ecotourism destination in 2003. There is no air-conditioning.
