Amazon - Brazil
Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel
http://www.AriauAmazonTowers.com Brazil's 205-room Ariau Amazon Towers Hotel may be the world's only accommodations set amid the wild flowers, birds and monkeys of the rain-forest canopy The way to Tarzan's house was a wooden catwalk 60 feet high that angled through the jungle canopy, with trees growing through the floorboards and lianas draping themselves all around. Well-camouflauged crocodilians hunted in the flooded forest below, and a procession of brilliantly colored parrots was arriving for their dinner at the hotel's expense, of course. I passed a menagerie of friendly monkeys, one of whom jumped on my back and began grooming my hair while another tried to relieve me of my watch. Finally, I went up a staircase that spiraled around a huge mahogany tree and found myself on a 90-foot-high platform snugly fit between branches looking over the Amazon's thousand shades of green. Tarzan's house is one perch in the world's largest treetop resort. With seven cylindrical towers and two lookout towers rising to 130 feet, and three miles of catwalks connecting them through the multilayered mazeway of the rain forest, Brazil's Ariauâ Hotel dwarfs the more famous tree lodges of Kenya and California. The genius of the place is that you can experience the jungle far better up in the canopy where most of the birds, monkeys and flowers are than stumbling around on the ground.
