Jour 1 :

Arrival / Night tour in Pantanal

Our Pantanal Tour from Cuiabá begins at Marechal Rondon International Airport (CGB). In the morning, a car will pick you up and take you straight to your chosen accommodation in Poconé – about 100 km (62 miles) away. Enjoy the ride to appreciate the natural landscapes, and expect to see a lot more on the next few days.

Take your time to settle in, freshen up and rest after the long trip. Feeling hungry? At dinnertime, you’ll fill your belly with delicious Brazilian dishes before embarking on an amazing adventure: a night tour to spot animals!

The group will join expert guides in 4×4 vehicles to explore nature and look for Pantanal animals. Using a spotlight to light up the dark night, you might see owls, caimans, ocelots, maned wolves, etc. Few things in life are as thrilling as spotting local species in the wild under the beautiful starry sky. Pay close attention to the beauty that surrounds you and enjoy every second of it!

Jour 2 :

Photo safari / Boat tour

You’ll need plenty of energy for day two, so make sure to fully enjoy your breakfast before joining our morning activity – a photo safari to get even closer to the wildlife!

In open vehicles, the group will explore greater distances and spot animals that were hidden during the tour on the previous night. Keep in mind: while jaguars are one of the most beloved animals in this biome, the chances of spotting them are slim. If this is an experience you want, find out what is the best place to see these mighty felines in the Pantanal.

But worry not! You’ll still be able to see incredible species in this tour, like giant anteaters, marsh deers, tapirs, blue macaws and the symbols of the Pantanal, jabiru storks. Get your camera ready and don’t miss a single shot!

After lunch at the accommodation, get ready for a boat ride in Aquidauna, one of the main rivers in the area, spanning over 620 km (385 miles). That’s your chance to spot even more animals, specially the ones that love water, like capybaras, giant otters, broad-snouted caimans, cane toads, etc. Don’t forget to appreciate the Pantanal’s beauty – you’ll definitely fall in love with the vast green vegetation and colorful birds flying around the blue sky.

Jour 3 :

Horseback riding / Pantanal trek

Let’s enjoy some horseback riding! Even if you never went riding before, our guides will help you throughout the entire process – comfortable saddles and docile horses will also make things easier. Explore the open fields and floodplain in the most authentic way possible, just like the local cowboys!

Back at the accommodation, the group will have lunch and some time to relax. But don’t rest too much! Your next adventure will be trekking in the forest to stretch your legs, breathe some fresh air and, of course, discover the secrets of the Pantanal.

Animals and insects are always fun to spot, but try to pay attention to the vegetation, too. Ferns, bromeliads, orchids, water lilies and ipês (Brazil’s national flower) are some of the plants that will surely make your Pantanal trek even more beautiful.
