ABOUT CRISTALINO LODGE
Home to nearly 600 bird species, the Alta Floresta region of the Southern Amazon basin is a world class destination. A weeklong stay at the award winning Cristalino Jungle Lodge is an unforgettable experience, made memorable by the friendly service, excellent food, charming accommodations, and the great birding. More than 20 km of trails access various types of forest, from vine‑laden bamboo thickets (Manu Antbird, Chestnut‑throated Spinetail, Dusky‑tailed Flatbill), to sandy igapó (Blue‑crowned Trogon, Flame‑crested Manakin), to tall terra firme (Musician Wren, Collared Puffbird), and stunted forest a top rocky domes (Brown‑banded Puffbird, White‑browed Purpletuft, Natterer’s Slaty‑Antshrike).
Trails in the Forest: Gray Tinamou, Cryptic Forest-Falcon, Strong-billed Woodcreeper, Black-spotted Bare-eye, Rufous-capped Nunlet, Blue-cheeked Jacamar, Collared Trogon, Dot-backed and Striated Antbird, Great Jacamar, Musician Wren, Red-headed Manakin, Dusky-tailed Flatbill, Royal Flycatcher, Snow-capped Manakin, Spot-winged and Fasciated Antshrike, White-crested Spadebill, White-winged Shrike-Tanager and many other species. With luck, we will find a swarm of army ants raiding on the forest floor, where we can find the endemic Bare‑eyed Antbird and Brown‑winged Trumpeters, alongside other antbirds and woodcreepers and many other species.
Boat Trip: These trips on the Cristalino and Teles Pires rivers usually find various herons, swallows and sometimes mammals like tapir, capybara, and two species of otters. It will be a good chance to see birds such as Agami and Zigzag Heron, Green- and-rufous Kingfisher, Hoatzin, Paradise Jacamar, Razor-billed Curassow, Sunbittern, Band-tailed and Silvered Antbird, Yellow-bellied Dacnis, Amazonian Umbrellabird, Harpy and Crested Eagle and many other species.
Canopy Towers: The list of attractions goes on and on, but the showpiece at Cristalino are the two canopy towers, each allowing guests to observer the treetops from 50m (150 ft) above the ground. This is a great way to see many beautiful and rare canopy birds such as Black-girdled Barbet, Black-tailed Trogon, Crimson- bellied Parakeet, Red-necked and Curl-crested Aracari, Dwarf Tyrant-Manakin, Gould's Toucanet, Kawall's and White-bellied Parrot, Orange-cheeked Parrot, Bay- headed and Paradise Tanager, Pompadour and Spangled Cotinga, Amazonian Trogon, Black-bellied Thorntail, Purple Honeycreeper, Ringed Woodpecker, Rufous-bellied Euphonia, Scaly-breasted Woodpecker, Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet, Short-tailed Pygmy-Tyrant, Slaty-capped Shrike-Vireo, Tooth-billed Wren, White- browed Hawk, White-browed Purpletuft, White-necked Puffbird, Yellow- shouldered Grosbeak and many other species.
