A luxury ecolodge tucked away deep in the Brazilian Amazon.
Located in the southern Brazilian Amazon, the privately protected Cristalino Reserve spans over 11,000 hectares of rainforest, home to hundreds of bird species, mammals, and countless plant varieties.
At its heart lies Cristalino Lodge, a sustainably built retreat designed to immerse guests in the surrounding wilderness. With direct access to forest trails, river excursions, and observation towers, the lodge offers a unique base for exploring one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth
What we love about Cristalino Lodge
- Tucked away and only accessible by boat, Cristalino Lodge is incredibly peaceful and perfectly integrated into the surrounding nature
- The 12 rooms are spacious, eco-friendly, and all equipped with outdoor showers or baths
- The Cristalino Foundation, which works incredibly hard to ensure the protection of the rainforest and those that live within it
- The lodge is equipped with solar and photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, and all inorganic waste is recycled
- Education is at the heart of what Cristalino does. The lodge is involved in local schooling efforts to educate children on the importance of the rainforest and how they can protect it
Sustainable tourism is encouraged at Cristalino Lodge.
Spend your days enjoying the low-impact walking trails, observation towers, birdwatching tours, canoeing excursions, and small boat trips that connect the lodge to the endless Amazon wilderness. All activities are designed to interfere as little as possible with the thriving rainforest habitats.
The wildlife spotting at Cristalino is especially spectacular. Look out for capybaras, tapirs, anacondas, caimans, monkeys, peccaries, and hundreds of species of birds.
Back at the lodge, unwind on the river deck to the natural soundtrack of the rainforest.
Getting to the lodge involves a two-hour flight from the city of Cuiaba to Alta Floresta. It is then two-hours by road and boat to the lodge.
When to Travel
Year-round
Cristalino Lodge can be visited year-round, but there are two distinct seasons; rainy and dry. Between December and May, there is more rainfall and the river level rises, meaning that more areas can be accessed by boat. Between June and November, there is less rainfall, and it is considerably hotter. Despite this, the weather is hot and humid throughout the year, and rain can be expected at any time.
