Authentic Pantanal

This is an excellent opportunity for people, especially photographers, who would like to get deep into the Pantanal and spend more time exploring. Much of the time is spent on a remote property that has only recently been open to tourism. These are small and simple properties, but in areas with abundant wildlife. These can only be done May-November

Day 1 - Reception at the Cuiabá airport and immediate transfer (by van) to the town of Poconé, then, through the Transpantaneira park-road until the lodge. Arrival, accommodation and night safari, in an opportunity to see nocturnal animals such as foxes, ocelots, owls and, with luck, even a jaguar, among many caiman.

Day 2 - Early sunrise walk to hear the sounds of nature as it awakes, in a hiking through one of the mound-hills. Breakfast and a motor boat trip through various water courses. Departure to a long off-road journey through primitive roads and traditional cattle ways until the most remote Pantanal of the Paraguayzinho river (tributary of the Paraguay river – an Ecological Station). This journey can be done by van/ truck/ tractor or even horses or pedaling boat, according to the season. Arriving to this place plenty of signs of civilization, but where signs of progress has never passed, makes us comprehend why this enchanted region was 35 years ago the home of the prized Swedish photographer Arne Sucksdorff, who lived here for about 25years.

Day 3-4 - The first-time visitor to the Pantanal is sure to fall in love with this bewitching area, which remains green even in the dry season. Many rare parrots, Hyacinth Macaws, ocelots, tapirs and giant anteaters live in this area, which uniquely for the Pantanal has some mountains and in some areas, and mysterious caves as well. In the dry season, we will visit one of the largest nesting sites of migratory birds in the whole area. Other activities include silent pedaling boat trip, hiking, horse-riding, night and terrestrial safaris.

Day 5 - Departure to Cuiabá with drop-off at the airport at the convenient time.
