The
Cristalino Jungle Lodge is nestled in a private forest reserve in the
Southern Brazilian Amazon rainforest. It borders the Cristalino State Park
and is therefore part of a continuous extensive protected area that extends
northward into the adjacent state of Pará. This unique region contains many
species found only in this part of the Amazon. The area contains pristine
forest and aquatic habitats that support a very rich fauna and flora, and it
has been described as an Amazon sanctuary.
The
lodge has become an internationally famous destination for nature lovers of
all types, in particular birders and butterfly enthusiasts, but also
attracts those seeking adventure in a peaceful, exotic location. Our
facilities include an extensive trail system, a new 50m-tall tower that
rises above the forest canopy, and a clean black-water river where one can
canoe and swim. Well-trained resident guides assist visitors to find
interesting wildlife and to interpret what they see whilst simultaneously
looking after their safety. We have equipment for use in the forest and a
library to help visitors identify and learn about what they see, and the
lodge is designed to combine rustic comfort with respect for nature. The
number of tourists that can visit Cristalino at any one time is limited to
ensure that there is minimal environmental impact.
