ALTA FLORESTA

Alta Floresta is located in the extreme north of the State of Mato Grosso. However, the ecosystem is quite different from that found in the Pantanal Swamplands and the Brazilian interior: it is where the Amazon begins. The tropical forest meets with the interior brush and results in a scenery of incredible beauty, making the location one of the main tourist spots of the Amazon region. Alta Floresta has modern commerce and great hotel infrastructure, including a hotel in the jungle itself. The region is considered to be of tremendous potential for sport fishing. Untouched woodlands with ancient trees resist the attacks of the lumber companies and ensure the food for the survival of monkeys, tapirs, deers and more than 400 species of birds, such as macaws, toucans and parrots.
