Map & location

When to Travel
Cristalino Lodge can be visited year-round, and 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 these two seasons, the weather is hot and humid throughout the year, and rain can be expected at any point.
