Cristalino Lodge

Feel the beat of the Amazon

If you want to feel the atmosphere of the film Amazonia, the Cristalino Jungle Lodge is the place to stay. The lodge served as the setting for the film and was easily voted among the best hotels in Brazil by National Geographic travellers in 2011. It is a flagship destination for lovers of "wild" nature... The Cristalino Jungle Lodge is nestled in the heart of a genuine private wildlife sanctuary covering more than 11,000 hectares. It is a fabulous retreat for observing the various species that populate the Amazon rainforest. 18 rooms and bungalows designed to blend into their environment serve as an ideal base for explorers wishing to live a breathtaking experience. Guided hikes, canoe and motorboat trips, and observation posts towering over the canopy at a height of over 50 metres are on the agenda to amaze you. More than 585 species of birds are to be discovered, as well as numerous primates (spider monkeys, sakis...), tapirs, and peccaries. You will certainly need 3 nights to fully appreciate the richness of this unfrequented and so well-preserved region. Amazonia will give you a wonderful preview of it...
