Der Zeitplan wird beim Check-in mit dem Lodge-Team festgelegt, wobei Sie Ihre Interessen und die Arten oder Lebensr\u00e4ume besprechen, die Sie erkunden m\u00f6chten. Sie werden w\u00e4hrend des gesamten Aufenthalts vom selben Guide begleitet, der genau versteht, wonach Sie suchen.<\/p>"},{"question":"Wie lange sollte man idealerweise in der Cristalino Lodge bleiben?","answer":"
Die Lodge empfiehlt mindestens f\u00fcnf N\u00e4chte, um das Erlebnis voll auszukosten. So bleibt Zeit, die Wege und Flusslebensr\u00e4ume zu erkunden, die Aussichtst\u00fcrme zu genie\u00dfen, auf dem schwimmenden Deck zu entspannen und die Tierwelt in ihrem eigenen Tempo zu entdecken. K\u00fcrzere Aufenthalte sind m\u00f6glich, wirken aber gehetzt angesichts dessen, was das Schutzgebiet bietet.<\/p>"},{"question":"Lohnt sich ein Besuch der Cristalino Lodge?","answer":"
Auf jeden Fall \u2014 sie gilt durchweg als eines der besten \u00d6kotourismus-Ziele im Amazonas. Der Naturschutz steht im Mittelpunkt, jeder Besuch unterst\u00fctzt das 27.000 Acres gro\u00dfe Naturschutzgebiet Cristalino. Hier treffen der s\u00fcdliche Amazonas und die Biome des Pantanal und des Cerrado aufeinander, was fast 600 Vogelarten und bemerkenswerte S\u00e4ugetiere ergibt; 50-Meter-T\u00fcrme ragen \u00fcber das Kronendach; und der kristallklare Cristalino-Fluss, komfortable Zimmer und eine raffinierte Amazonas-K\u00fcche runden einen wirklich besonderen Aufenthalt ab.<\/p>"},{"question":"Pantanal oder Amazonas \u2014 wo sieht man Wildtiere am besten?","answer":"
Was die Verl\u00e4sslichkeit der Sichtungen angeht, hat das Pantanal die Nase vorn: Die offenen Feuchtgebiete machen Tiere, auch Jaguare, deutlich leichter zu entdecken. Der Amazonas bietet etwas anderes \u2014 eine dichtere, wildere Umgebung, in der Flusserkundung und Eintauchen im Vordergrund stehen, mit Flussdelfinen, Affen, Faultieren, Kaimanen und Hunderten von V\u00f6geln in au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlicher Vielfalt. In Cristalino haben Sie das Beste aus beiden Welten: den Amazonas in einer Region nahe dem Pantanal.<\/p>"},{"question":"Wie wahrscheinlich ist es, Wildtiere zu sehen?","answer":"
Trotz der reichen Fauna sind Sichtungen nicht garantiert: Der Wald ist dicht und die Tiere bleiben oft verborgen, besonders tags\u00fcber. Sie k\u00f6nnen V\u00f6gel, Faultiere, Affen, Flussdelfine (beim \u00dcberqueren der Fl\u00fcsse) und Kaimane (auf Nachttouren) sehen. Wanderungen bei Sonnenaufgang und die Aussichtst\u00fcrme erh\u00f6hen Ihre Chancen.<\/p>"},{"question":"Gibt es viele M\u00fccken?","answer":"
Die Umgebung der Lodge ist weniger von M\u00fccken betroffen als viele erwarten: Der Cristalino ist ein Schwarzwasserfluss, sauer und n\u00e4hrstoffarm, eine ung\u00fcnstige Brutumgebung. Sie sind dennoch vorhanden und nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit sowie auf Waldwegen aktiver, bringen Sie also ein gutes Mittel mit und halten Sie abends die T\u00fcren geschlossen. Mit diesen einfachen Vorkehrungen d\u00fcrften Insekten kein gro\u00dfes Problem sein.<\/p>"},{"question":"Wie viele Kilometer geht man pro Tag? Ist es f\u00fcr \u00e4ltere G\u00e4ste geeignet?","answer":"
Die Wanderungen betragen meist 2 bis 6 km pro Tag in gem\u00e4chlichem Tempo \u2014 im Vordergrund steht das tiefe Eintauchen, nicht die Eile, mit h\u00e4ufigen Stopps, um B\u00e4ume zu bestaunen und das \u00d6kosystem kennenzulernen. Reisende in guter allgemeiner Gesundheit, auch \u00e4ltere G\u00e4ste, bew\u00e4ltigen das problemlos. Sagen Sie uns vorab Bescheid, und wir senden eine Tag-f\u00fcr-Tag-\u00dcbersicht, damit Sie das Aktivit\u00e4tsniveau einsch\u00e4tzen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>"},{"question":"Ist ein Besuch sicher?","answer":"
Ja. Alle Touren werden von erfahrenen, geschulten Guides geleitet, die den Wald und seine Tierwelt genau kennen. Begegnungen mit potenziell gef\u00e4hrlichen Tieren wie Kaimanen werden professionell gehandhabt, mit jederzeit eingehaltenen Sicherheitsabst\u00e4nden. Wie in jeder abgelegenen Naturumgebung ist das Befolgen der Anweisungen Ihres Guides die wichtigste Sicherheitsma\u00dfnahme.<\/p>"},{"question":"Was ist das Besondere am Vogelbeobachtungsprogramm?","answer":"
Cristalino ist weltweit f\u00fcr die Vogelbeobachtung bekannt, und dieses Programm ist f\u00fcr Reisende mit besonderem Interesse an V\u00f6geln gemacht. Es umfasst private Fachguides, private Bootsunterst\u00fctzung, flexible Zeitpl\u00e4ne und Zugang zu verschiedenen Bereichen des Schutzgebiets, um die Beobachtungsm\u00f6glichkeiten zu maximieren.<\/p>"},{"question":"Was ist das Besondere am Fotografieprogramm?","answer":"
Das Fotografieprogramm konzentriert sich auf Tierwelt, Landschaften und Gemeinschaftsleben durch die Linse. Es bietet private Guides, private Bootsunterst\u00fctzung, flexible Zeitpl\u00e4ne und mehr Zeit, angepasst an Licht, Tierverhalten und fotografische Gelegenheiten.<\/p>"},{"question":"Brauche ich w\u00e4hrend der Reise Bargeld?","answer":"
Etwas Bargeld wird f\u00fcr Getr\u00e4nke, Trinkgelder oder pers\u00f6nliche Ausgaben au\u00dferhalb des Pakets empfohlen, da abgelegene Gebiete nicht immer Karten oder digitale Zahlungen akzeptieren. In der N\u00e4he der Lodge gibt es keinen Geldautomaten, heben Sie also vor der Ankunft ab, was Sie brauchen.<\/p>"},{"question":"Wie viel Trinkgeld gebe ich Guides und lokalem Personal im Amazonas?","answer":"
Trinkgeld ist immer freiwillig, wird aber gesch\u00e4tzt, wenn Sie mit dem Service zufrieden sind. Reisende bringen oft brasilianische Reais (BRL) in bar f\u00fcr Guides, Bootsf\u00fchrer und Lodge-Personal mit. Bargeld ist auch f\u00fcr lokales Kunsthandwerk und Souvenirs n\u00fctzlich, wo Kartenzahlung nicht immer m\u00f6glich ist.<\/p>"},{"question":"Brauche ich ein Visum f\u00fcr die Reise nach Brasilien?","answer":"
B\u00fcrger bestimmter L\u00e4nder ben\u00f6tigen ein Visum f\u00fcr die Einreise nach Brasilien, andere sind unter bestimmten Bedingungen befreit. Siehe: Einreisevisa f\u00fcr Brasilien \u2014 Au\u00dfenministerium.<\/p>"},{"question":"Muss ich f\u00fcr die Reise nach Brasilien geimpft sein?","answer":"
Brasilien verlangt keine Impfung, aber das Gesundheitsministerium empfiehlt einen vollst\u00e4ndigen Impfschutz (Diphtherie, Tetanus, Polio, R\u00f6teln, Masern); Gelbfieber und Hepatitis A\/B werden ebenfalls empfohlen.

Our family of four - parents and two adult children - spent some time here over Christmas and all had a fabulous time. It was quite hot during our stay, so we quickly learned to cool off with multiple swims, showers and fruit juices at the bar each day. Our guide for the week, Rafa, and the boatman, Leandro, were fabulous, showing us way more wildlife than we ever thought possible. By the end we had more than 200 birds on our lists, together with multiple mammals, spiders, and frogs. The food at the restaurant was fresh tasting and delicious, much of it with Brazilian flavors and produce from their gardens. All in all, Cristalino was the perfect choice for us. The only downside was that our flight home from Alta Floresta was cancelled at the last minute due to weather. Our daughter texted the concierge (even though of course we had checked out). Lucas joined us after a few minutes, negotiated with the airline staff (who spoke limited English) and stayed with us until we had been rebooked. This all took several hours (since everyone else was rebooking as well!). He wouldn\u2019t leave until we completely taken care of - way above and beyond in my view.

The wildlife conservation project around the lodge is truly noteworthy and worth every dollar you spend here.\nThe activities are interesting and the naturalist and ornithologist guides are experienced.

The absence of air conditioning in the rooms is explained by environmental reasons, so we put up with the heat in the rooms because the coherence of the project requires it. The rooms are, however, well designed to allow a permanent flow of air. The meals are delicious, varied and made with local products.

As I wrote in the review paperwork they ask you to fill out before leaving, they have thought of every detail (kind of like Disneyland).\n\nGetting there requires flying in to Alta Floresta airport, approx 45 min van ride, and approx 25 min boat ride. The buildings, common areas, and rooms were re-done within the past 15 years or so (I don't recall the exact years). But we met the daughter of the owner who is the architect. My husband is a general contractor and they had much to discuss about the type of wood used, etc. The bottom line...it's gorgeous.\n\nSince I could write a lot about this place, I'm going to go to bullets for brevity:\n\n- Rooms are spacious with every detail thought out for clothes storage. Two showers, one inside and one outside (which we used often due to the heat). No AC but we were pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of the fan and slept well every night.\n\n- We are not \"birders\" in the true sense, but if you are, you'll love this place. From the macaws nesting on the property trees, to the hundreds of birds you can see on hikes and boat trips, you'll be amazed. There were several guests who got to see the Harpe Eagle (if you don't know what that is, please look it up...it's stunning).\n\n- The employees are super sweet and gracious. Whatever you need, they will deliver. We tipped several individuals generously (like the breakfast cook, bartender, and waiter) who were so thoughtful and just great people.\n\n- The amount and deliciousness of the food is incredible. And often local dishes and flavors are served. One night they grilled fresh-caught local fish in the common area fire pit. I have never tasted fish that good in my life (we live in California and eat fish regularly).\n\nThe only suggestion I had in my feedback was the the meals off the menu (when buffet isn't available) contain too much salt. I frequently sprinkle salt on my food and even for me, I felt like there was too much sodium.\n\nHope you have as wonderful time as we did.","date_published":"20221001"},{"author":"Isolda","rating":5,"body":"Cristalino Lodge on the banks of the river Cristalino, completely natural, in the south of the Amazon, permanent and lush Reservation, with comfortable accommodation and first-class restaurant, has specialized guides to make the trails, boat tour, viewpoints, sunsets, kayaking, observation of the fauna and flora, with all safety.

But Jessica (a trained scientist) took this to another level, with both her knowledge of the flora\/fauna of Brazil in general and, more importantly, her passion for Brazil\u2019s nature. If there were more smart, motivated and right-minded young people like Jessica, the world would be a brilliant place.\n\nFor the average Joe visitor (like us!), you must be open to appreciating the \u201csmall\u201d things \u2014 such as hundreds of purple martins flocking over the river, watching the sunrise from the observation tower as the \u201cflying mist\u201d clears from the rainforest, beautiful butterflies and other fascinating insects, eating the most amazing raw Brazil nuts that will ruin your pleasure for any other nuts forever, the absolutely most mind-blowing plants and trees \u2014 because you are probably not going to see the large rainforest mammals. They are elusive and realistically difficult to see no matter where you go in the Amazon.\n\nThe beauty of this place also lies in its ethos of conservation and sustainability. We stayed in two junior bungalows and it was a heartwarming sight to behold the banana trees and heliconias in the yard that would be treating the waste from the bungalows. Although it was probably not awesome for the resort staff to find animals eating the \u201cwastewater treatment facilities\u201d, it was still wonderful for us to see the monkeys and capybaras right in the yard, drawn to the bananas and other edibles from the system. In fact, to see amazing creatures and beautiful birds (all manner of macaws), it really was not necessary to stray too far from the lodge itself!\n\nRounding out the experience for us were several staff members who were incredibly helpful, warm, and willing to help us with whatever we needed. First: kitchen staff and Joao and Eduardo at the bar\/dining area: wow. The food created by the staff and on offer at each meal was good, plentiful and provided something for everyone in our group (including a couple vegetarians). Bar service by Joao was beyond reproach: drinks were made with fresh, natural ingredients and were delicious. The acai ice cream treat (ask for it Brazilian style)?? Good lord: too delectable for mere words.\n\nEdsel, our boatman, always greeted us with a smile and is single-handedly responsible for making sure we never truly enjoy another regular ol\u2019 nut as long as we live. Once he witnessed our passion for the taste of the raw Brazil nut, he made sure that we got some on each outing in the boat. We will love him forever for it.\n\nIt is a difficult journey to get here, for sure, but worth it. Our very circuitous route (we were traveling from Central America and not the US to get to the Cristalino) necessitated that one leg of the journey was on the Brazilian budget airline Gol. Please avoid Gol; it was a pain-in-the-neck. Azul was great.","date_published":"20200101"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trips\/12017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trips"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trip"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17450"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17449"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17447"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17446"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17444"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17442"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17440"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17437"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17435"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17432"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17430"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17428"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17426"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17425"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17423"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17422"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17420"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17418"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17416"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17414"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17412"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17411"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17409"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17407"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17405"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17403"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17401"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17399"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17397"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17396"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17394"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17393"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17392"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17390"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17389"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17387"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17386"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17383"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17382"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging-headless-backend.planetaexo.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17380"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"
