Ariau Towers is a huge treehouse hotel nestled in the canopy of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.
Its construction was inspired by Jacques Cousteau, who promised that the Amazon would become the destination of the future for politicians, artists, and scientists.
Dr. Francisco Ritta Bernardino took Cousteau’s words as prime business advice and opened his eco-friendly resort in 1987.
Since then, it has grown exponentially, becoming the most extensive treetop hotel on Earth.
Complete with swimming pools, elevated catwalks, gourmet Brazilian food, and opportunities to swim with pink river dolphins, Ariau Towers has definitely carved out a niche for itself. And it seems this has made for good business.
