The Cristalino Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) is covered by primary
and lush rainforests and provides a variety of natural habitats. The Cristalino forest reserve is the oldest RPPN in the north of the state of Mato Grosso and was established in 1997 by the
Cristalino Lodge. An RPPN is a private area set aside in perpetuity for the purpose of conserving Brazil's biological diversity. Setting up an RPPN is a voluntary act on the part of the owner of
the property and the main beneficiaries are the natural environment of the area and future generations.
The lodge runs a management program for the reserve that includes the
following:
- Conservation of the natural resources and
biodiversity
- Environmental education
- Responsible tourism, with small groups using carefully maintained
trails
- Support for research projects, through the Cristalino
Foundation
The reserve is divided into geographical areas, each with its own specific
function, such as tourism, conservation, research and monitoring, and is managed - through the Cristalino Foundation - by a team whose members have expertise in different areas, including
biology, management and education.
The forest reserve where the hotel is located borders on the Cristalino
State Park, a very important Amazon conservation area covering 184,900 hectares. That park, in turn, is connected to the Brazilian Air Force Reserve, which covers an area of 2.16 million
hectares. Other reserves that also form part of this mosaic are: the Headwaters Biological Reserve, the Xingu Reserve, the Kayabi and Munduruku Indigenous Area, the Juruena National Park, the Rio
Novo Park, the Jamanxim National Forest, the Crepori National Forest, the Apuí Mosaic, the Sucunduri Park, the Jatuarana National Forest and the Aripuanã Reserve.
At Cristalino Jungle Lodge are possible 3 types of
visit:
- Nature Tours, incliding canoeing, trails, observation towers, boat
trips.
