Cristalino Excursion #3 – The Canopy Tower

Whether by chance or by design, Cristalino saved our best excursion for last – the stunning canopy tower!  It’s quite a hike to climb up, especially in the heat and humidity of the Brazilian rainforest, but well worth it.  The 360 degree views with birds flying everywhere has to be seen to be believed.  I hope that someday you will come here and see it for yourselves but for now see and believe these photos!
