I stayed at the questhouse for short periods during Feb/March as a base to travel the Amazon and it felt like returning home after each trip. Clive and his wife are knowledgeable about the region and very happy to share their knowledge and experience which is much appreciated when your portugese is not up to scratch. The house itself, bordering onto rainforest is a great vantage point to observe wildlife from the comfort of modern conveniences such as a pool and airconditioned rooms. Another great advantage is their positioning close to the airport but not inside urban Manaus itself. I much appreciated the peace and tranquil atmosphere, but there is a busstop to Manaus centre only 10min. walk away. It is best described as a little oasis outside the urban wilderness of Manaus and I would certainly recommended this questhouse to anyone with limited or no knowledge of Brazil or the rainforest as a gentle introduction into a very different world.
