Mamirauá – Pousada Uacari

Dear Luciana,

Please accept my apologies for not replying to your e-mail to me (see below) – it’s partly because I injured my hand and have been receiving treatment for this since we came back from Brazil !

We had a wonderful holiday in Brazil, in all the areas we visited, which included Rio de Janeiro and Iguacu Falls, as well as the Amazon Region. Regarding our bookings with you, I have to say they were all excellent ! We found Manaus to be a very lively and exciting, if somewhat crowded city with some lovely old buildings ! The Trip flights were good, though we weren’t prepared for the tropical storm on the way to Tefé, which meant the plane had to abandon landing at Coari ! But, the real highlight of the whole trip was the time we spent at Mamirauá at Uakari Lodge. This was absolutely fantastic !! The whole experience – from the journey there on the river by boat, to the actual Lodge, which was simple but lovely and surprisingly comfortable, and also the experience while there, with the incredible natural environment and wild animals, including the rarely seen Uacari monkey – it was just a wonderful experience and one we shall never forget.

I just want to thank you for all the efforts you made in making this trip happen for us and all the correspondence back and forth was no trouble for you at all. So, well done to all at Viverde and, if, God willing, we are ever planning to go to Brazil again, we will certainly call yourselves first and would recommend you (already have in fact !) to friends and family. Through you, could I also thank all the staff at Mamirauá / Uakari Lodge , especially Daiane at Tefé and Pedro at Uakari Lodge, for all the help, guidance, information and simply wonderful time we had there with them. We wish all of them best wishes and continued success for the Mamirauá Reserve.

With all best wishes

Yours sincerely

Ralph Quigley
