The Amazon, also known as the Amazon rainforest or the Amazon Jungle, is an abundantly humid forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This regions is one of the six major biomes of the planet, reaching about 7 million square km, and approximately 5 million of it is covered by tropical rainforest.
Nine nations have territories in the Amazon; Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and France. However, the largest part of this territory belongs to Brazil. The amazon represents more than a half of the tropical forests that exist in the world with the greatest biodiversity of any other rainforest.
The most common tours in this area are called "observation tours" in which visitors can walk through the forest, observing the diverse animal and plant species, visiting indigenous communities, and even trying their hand at fishing on Amazonian Rivers. To take the most advantage of the trip, it is recommended to visit the state during the months of July to November, when the weather is more stable.
The gastronomy of the place is ideal for those who like to try new cuisine. Many of the ingredients used for food preparation are stemmed from this very forest, such as the Cupuaçu fruit and Jambu fish tips, which are a great try for visitors!
These tours provide a unique Amazon Rainforest understanding and show much about this beautiful and fascinating ecosystem. While spotting the diverse and colourful birds of the region is an integral part of each tour, we will also discover and enjoy the diverse trees, landscapes and other interesting features of the tropical rainforest. Learning is a natural process, as you take the many opportunities for cultural and environmental exposure that each tour provides. Some high points include visiting hundred year old Brazilian nut trees, canoeing, and watching the sunrise from the top of an Observation Tower, all adding up to an unforgettable experience.
The Cristalino Lodge offers many outdoor activities within the stunning scenery of the tropical rainforest. The combination of great diversity of fauna and trails that take you through different types of landscape, together with the beauty of the fully preserved River Cristalino, makes this a unique destination for those who appreciate nature.
