Brazil · Expedition · Wildlife · Ecotourism
Remote Amazon mountains, rare wildlife and community-run river access make this one of Brazil’s true expedition destinations.
Why this place
Cruzeiro do Sul is the gateway to the Juruá region and to Serra do Divisor National Park near the Peruvian border. Reaching the park typically means organised river transport from Mâncio Lima, local guides and simple community accommodation, rewarded with waterfalls, forest trails, viewpoints and exceptional bird and primate diversity.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
River travel is part of the journey into Serra do Divisor, rather than a short transfer after arrival.
