The Tiwa Amazon Resort is situated 10 km from Manaus, on the
banks of the Rio Negro. The complex is surrounded by its own
grounds of more than 2 square km. The resort is built around
a beautiful natural lake that is surrounded by tropical
rainforest. At the edge of the lake - with their feet in the
water - you will see 26 double houses built on poles; they
each have a bed-sit and a bathroom with a spacious patio
above the lake.
There is a lovely wide sandy beach along the river and in
front of the resort. During the two months of the year when
the water level in the Rio Negro is high the beach will be
less wide an sometimes it will disappear altogether.
This is the rainy season, but it usually means just one
shower a day, because otherwise the weather is lovely! This
is the time when the river is boss for a while, and during
this time you are welcome to visit our spacious raft and the
beach by the terrace around the swimming pool. The resort
not only has a swimming pool, but also a restaurant, a water
sport centre and an amphitheatre, but everywhere around you,
you will see, hear and smell the Amazonian Jungle.
These are words from Tiwa Resort, about ecotourism and
sustainability: "We are very proud to inform you that as
part of government policy to introduce sustainable tourism
in the Amazon area our TIWA Amazonas Resort will serve as an
example for all future developments. The resort was set up
in close consultation and with the personal attention of
Governor Eduardo Braga and his staff. The construction of
our resort has very little impact on the environment and as
soon as this starts to have an impact the original natural
situation will be restored. Streams of resources, raw
materials and people will be kept to a minimum, both during
the construction phase and in the exploitation phase. In
practice this means that energy, water and people are
sourced locally or recruited on the basis of the philosophy
that prevention (of pollution, impact on the environment
etc.) is better than cure. Where possible we will give our
property the status of Reservado Particular, which will mean
that we will be in an even better position to protect the
environment. A program is being developed which will enable
students from Brazil and the Netherlands to draw up the
necessary inventories to use the knowledge gained for
educational purposes. Some of our employees are now part of
a team whose task it is to convince everyone of the
importance of this philosophy, which at the moment is
largely unknown in Brazil. In order to motivate the local
population even more we have undertaken to pay our local
employees considerably more than the legal minimum set by
the state and with which the major part of the population of
the state of Amazonas has to manage. Finally, the TIWA
Amazonas Resort will donate an annual amount to a fund that
initiates and monitors sustainable projects".
