Cristalino Lodge is an award-winning lodge with excellent environmental crudentials, located in a private reserve beside Cristalino State Park. It has been voted one of the best hotels in Brazil by National Geographic Traveller.
There are three levels of accommodation and facilities include a friendly restaurant and bar, a living room (with a small library) that is used for presentations and meetings, and a floating deck on the river for swimming and relaxing. All activities - principally trail walks and boat trips - are conducted by experienced guides.
With many species found only in this region, this lodge is a good option for birdwatchers due to its 50-metre high observation tower, however monkey sightings - including the endemic white whiskered spider monkey - are good from the lodge too.
Cristalino Lodge has been designed in accordance with sustainable principles, and practices include solar heating and roofs designed with air-vents to encourage air flow and keep temperatures lower.
