EXPERIENCE
1. Look at the photos. What do you see? Where do you think it is?

A Home in the
JUNGLE
In the middle of the Amazon rain forest, with monkeys, snakes, and tropical
birds, there´s a very unusual place. Twenty meters up in the trees is the Ariaú
Amazon Towers Hotel – the biggest treetop hotel in the world.
Walking paths connect two restaurants, two theaters, two swimming pools,
and many guest rooms. You climb high on the paths to get to the standard
rooms. Each room has a bedroom and a bathroom.
Climb farther to get to the tree houses and Tarzan suites. Each of these has a
bedroom, a bathroom, a living room, and a balcony with amazing views of the
Amazon.
The Amazon River isn´t far away, and visitors can see the “Meeting of the
Waters.” Two of the most powerful rivers in the Amazon, the Rio Negro and
Rio Solimoes, meet here. The black water of the Rio Negro is darker than the
brown water of the Rio Solimoes, and you can see both rivers side by side.
The waters of the two rivers don´t mix because the Rio Solimoes runs more
slowly than the Rio Negro.
It´s a long way up, but a stay at the hotel is worth the climb!
