eco-tourism TO VISIT IN BRAZIL lodges x 1 CRISTALINO LODGE, ALTA FLORESTA


Overlooking the black water Cristalino River in the Southern Amazon, this brilliant, award-winning eco- lodge was set up by trailblazing visionary Vitoria da Riva Carvalho to protect the rainforest and educate tourists about its importance. The 18 solar-powered bungalows are dotted between banana trees, which JGNR VQ ƂNVGT ITG[ YCVGT CPF C PCVWTCN XGPVKNCVKQP U[UVGO negates the need for power-hungry air-conditioning. Two observations towers, teetering above the forest canopy, are excellent for spotting the area’s 600-plus bird species.

COMUNA DO IBITIPOCA, MINAS GERAIS


Set at the foothills of the Mantiqueira mountain range, this 13,000-acre private reserve has been reforested, paving the way for the reintroduction of native species such as the woolly spider monkey. Visitors can choose to stay in a converted 18th-century farmhouse, private cottages or inside a traditional village where communities continue to thrive. Use electric bikes or ride horseback to explore the site’s many caves and waterfalls.
