Around Alta Floresta Town

Alta Floresta is a pretty small town but if you are on a Cristalino package, on the day you leave the lodge, they will bring you to a traditional Brazilian Kilogram restaurant where you serve up your own food, then they charge you according to the weight of the food.  It doesn’t matter if you have a plate full of steak or rice, it’s all the same price per kg!  The cost of the meal is included on your check out day, but since we were there early, we tagged along with the departing group at our own expense.  It was pretty cheap, certainly less than $15 for us both including a soft drink.

Driving along the main drag, we spotted some pretty cool phone booths!  A01 A02 A10

There is a small grocery store and you can ask them to stop there if you want to buy some drinks and snacks.  Otherwise, not really much to do in town so better to spend your time birding the grounds of the Floresta Amazonica!
