Nature in Brazil's Wetlands and Rainforest

Located in the heart of the city close to the iconic Avenida Paulista (the city’s main artery), L’Hotel is a French style luxury hotel with excellent service and seventy-five comfortable well-appointed rooms. Facilities include two restaurants, a small pool area and spa.

Among the rare and unique biodiversity which makes the Pantanal so treasured, you’ll find the Araras Pantanal Eco Lodge, built in the upmost harmony with these surroundings. This is a sustainable lodge built from some raw materials, yet still one where you can feel the comforts of luxury service and facilities. It offers the perfect refuge in the middle of the Pantanal in which to rest with all the needed creature comforts of a hotel. The rooms and suites have a wonderfully rustic décor spruced up with a modern touch, all boasting air-conditioning to keep you feeling fresh. The lodge’s large pool, bar and restaurant all provide ideal places in which to relax during the afternoon once you have returned from your excursions. The lodge lends itself to several excellent activities such as bird watching, nature trails in primary forest as well as on suspended walkways for added exhilaration, and canoeing excursions only to be beaten by adventures through the forest on horseback. You can be sure here that if you require it, every activity you do will be aided by expert naturalist guides, specialized and fluent in several languages.

Truly one of the best lodges to explore the natural world of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest – as confirmed by the National Geographic Traveller, who named it one of the best hotels in all the country – the Cristalino is a spectacular, very comfortable and conscientiously designed jungle lodge for serious nature lovers. Set in its own 28,167-hectare private reserve and only reachable by boat, the lodge also manages to combine several different accommodation options for every type of traveller. Families will find the two-bedroom bungalows very comfortable, and couples looking for extra privacy will find the ‘special bungalows’ ideal. Things like solar-powered hot water and biological waste treatment keep the property sustainable with minimum impact on the precious environment around you. Private verandas and outdoor showers come as standard in all category of rooms, and upper-tier options feature private gardens and L’Occitane products. The staff here look after every individual guest beautifully, as do the lodge’s team of naturalist guides and wildlife experts who lead you on your daily expeditions. Choose from a scheduled programme of diverse activities depending on your length of stay, or pick and choose what you like, mixed in with the right balance of relaxation. Combining remoteness with an elegant style of comfort, expert nature activities and outdoors adventure, and fantastic facilities for its position, Cristalino is without a doubt one of our favorites.
