Curicara Lodge has a stunning location along the Transpantaneria in the northern Panatanal fo Brazil.  They don’t seem to have a website of their own, but there is good information here.

We were there in Sept, 2012 so things may have changed.  The one thing that needed improvement was the access road which was very bumpy!  Hopefully they have fixed it up since then.

Once you get to the lodge, it is beautiful and natural with lots of bird-attracting habitat so you don’t even have to leave the grounds to find birds.

This was our cottage – very cute!

Monkey keeping an eye on us.

This is the dining room – most rates will include full board and you need this because there are no other places to eat except at other lodges.

Take a stroll down to the river and look for caiman.

Of course I will save the best for the next post – birding the grounds of Curicaca Lodge!
