From 15 people the Villa runs on exclusive use: the thirteen bungalows, the pavilion, the hammock grove and the beach, with nobody from outside. Retreats come here, and so do company teams, birdwatchers, and people who want to learn dive-fishing from the families who live on the river.

Wedding, retreat, training, birthday — the day is organised around your group.
It comes down with the number of people and the number of nights, and booking the whole Villa has a rate of its own. Bring us your dates and we'll settle the figure.

Four ways of using the same house. What changes is the shape of the day — the structure is always this one.
The thatched pavilion holds the whole group seated in a circle, and practice starts before breakfast. After the day there are the hammocks among the trees, the beach and the river, and nobody else's schedule to work around. Yoga, meditation and teacher-training retreats have already been held here with the house closed.
Covered space for the team together, a long table to work at, and a whole day of activity outside it: trail, canoe, cassava-flour making with the communities. The team arrives together and shares the house with no one else.
The good outing is the first one: before the sun, by canoe through the flooded forest and on foot through the woods, with the guide from the lodge and with the residents of Atodi, who have always walked there. There is no tower and no hide — there is the right hour, the silence, and people who know where to look.
It goes out after dinner, in the residents' canoe. The technique is theirs: a lamp in the water, a free dive, a hand spear. The people teaching it are the people who fish there every day, and whatever the river gives that night goes to the table.
It is what a group needs to be able to say afterwards, and here it does not rest on goodwill: there are five verifiable facts.
Cassava-flour making, weaving, massage and the community visits are paid directly to the families who host the group. They do not pass through the lodge.

The kitchen, the boat and the route are in the hands of people who live on the river. It is local work, not an itinerary brought in from outside.

The Arapiuns runs inside the Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve, and what is fished there follows the reserve's fishing agreement.

The panels sit on the pavilion roof, in plain sight of anyone walking past, and they are where the house gets its power.

Thirteen bungalows, twenty-six guests at most. The limit is not a marketing position: it is what the Villa has.
