Cristalino Lodge
A riverside lodge inside the Cristalino Reserve, 11,399 hectares of private forest on the southern edge of the Brazilian Amazon that join Cristalino State Park as one wildlife corridor. The way in is a 40-minute drive from Alta Floresta airport and then a boat along the Teles Pires and the Cristalino. Guides take small groups out twice a day: sunrise from one of two 50-metre canopy towers, more than 30 km of trails through terra firme forest and up into the granite uplands, and quiet canoe drifts on the dark, clear river after monkeys, tapirs and giant otters. Bungalows with outdoor showers in private gardens, a floating deck with hammocks and an evening fire, and Amazonian cooking. Booked for you by an affiliated travel advisor.
