The Reserva Natural Palmari was created 25+ years ago, being an independent project on the Brazilian shore of the Javari river, a tributary to the Amazon. Its privileged location holding a visitors centre, surrounded by pristine primary forests, and guaranteeing the presence of the highest number of species of plants and animals for the overall region. Through the agreements regarding a fair exchange of knowledge with views to a social and hygienic well-being between us and our neighbouring communities, it has become a well respected and solid destination. Hence, we concentrate our work in pointing to the importance of conserving the eco-system and promoting a safe, friendly, fair and respectful environment for our work-team, guests, volunteers and neighbours.
The Reserva Natural Palmari was created from a dream which initiated in 1985, became a reality and opened its doors to the world in 1998, after 2 decades continuing to promote environmental protection and granting an integral experience by inmersing and teaching the amazonian jungle to the world.
Since our foundation, our relentless commitment to environmental preservation and sustainable practices has shaped us into an icon of responsible tourism, where guests become a part of our ongoing mission to safeguard the vibrant Amazonian biodiversity.
The Palmari Natural Reserve invites you to explore the breathtaking beauty of the Amazonian rainforest, to enjoy every moment immersed in nature’s wonders and to reconnect with your inner self and the vibrant ecosystem around you. We assure you: you will not regret it!
The Reserva Natural Palmarí is proud of its social commitment regarding the neighbouring communities of Sao Pedro do Norte, Palmarí and Santa Rita through the innovative “180 Degrees” social and environmental project. Under this initiative, we are committed for preserving the environment while supporting the growth and development of these communities on a sustainable and socially respectful basis.
We hire local community members to participate in all the reserve’s needs, thus strengthening the local economy. In addition, we commit for purchasing most of the necessary services and products directly from these communities. As part of this agreement, the communities receive a monthly donation for as long as our shared goals of environmental preservation and sustainable development are met. At the same time, we are dedicated to carrying out native flora and fauna conservation projects, ensuring the protection of the region’s rich biodiversity.
At the Reserva Natural Palmarí, volunteers play a crucial role. We operate under the values of respect, safety, fairness and joy, our main goal consisting in providing a positive and complete experience for all our visitors, staff and volunteers. Since many of our visitors do not speak Spanish or Portuguese, volunteers are essential as interpreters and liaisons. Their main role is to create a bridge of communication to ensure that everyone receives accurate information and enjoys an enriching experience. As a volunteer, you will be a valuable link, facilitating an unforgettable experience for our visitors.
