Low Pantanal Tours
|
Especially beautiful at the Wet season (Dec-May), the large open fields often covered by water becomes a mirror of the sky and presents a large concentration of aquatic flora. Fish are all living in the fields, which are the best place for their reproduction and food supply, because the rivers overflow their banks. A few non-flooded ‘islands of vegetation’ are the shelter for a large number of mammals (primates, rodents, carnivores and the rare Giant Anteater) that coexist with the many birds’ (Jabiru storks, Hiacyinth Macaws) nests. Our normal guide for this has been a guide for more than 30 years and has trained guides that work for other companies.

The very comfortable Piuval lodge allows you to experience all the different aspects of the Pantanal. It is situated on the flood-plain and is bordered by a 3000 hectare lake formed by the Bento Gomes river. With plenty of mound hills, there are many possibilities for hiking (Where you can see monkeys, caimans, hyacinth macaws, jabiru storks, toucans, rheas, ibis, coatis, capybaras, anteaters, tapirs, and other animals, in addition to a variety of plant life), as well as for other activities such as horse-riding, and canoe or boat trips (especially in the Wet Season).
At the end of the Wet Season (Feburary to April), just in front of the lodge, we can take the canoes, to navigate the Flooded Field to the mound-hills where we can hike- it's wonderful! Before the end of the Wet Season. the Baía do Piuval is full of water, offering a longer boat trip, with a spectacular sunset taken from the center of the lake! Fishing is also possible. The night safari is done to just the area surrounding the guest's house. In the Wet Season, animals are looking for higher places, and Piuval has plenty of those mound-hills. After the end of the Wet Season, when the land is getting dry, this is the first place to attract the migratory birds in their return to the Pantanal. 512 bird species have been recorded at Piuval on ebird. Hotel Fazenda Piuval - Piuval Lodge is located 110 km from Cuiabá and 10 km from Poconé in the state of Mato Grosso. The lodge is situated on a 7000 hectare cattle ranch with one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Pantanal, full of natural beauty
The lodge has 30 guest rooms:
"The trip was wonderful. Brazil, the landscape, animals, food, culture, and people completely captured my heart. I do want to go back. Munir was simpatico and wonderfully on top of things. The guides were, smart, kind and helpful. I was moved by the Brazilian spirit of hope and their profound willingness to work for their dreams. The trip rekindled my desire to travel. I clearly have no apprehensions about being out on my own. I am not sure that I really needed all the day to day wonderful guide attention I got.I referred lots of people to Amazon Adventures and will continue to do so. Your advise was wonderful…You made the trip easy. I hope to take your advise again on a trip to South America..and I hope I don’t wait too long."

PANTANAL 3 days / 2 nights
Day 1 Pick-up at the airport and immediate transfer to the traditional town of Poconé with introduction to the geological formation and flora characteristics, then to the lodge, arriving there after a brief safari along the Transpantaneira park-road with many stops to observe its rich fauna. Dinner and night safari - a night-time drive using a vehicle equipped with a flashlight for highlighting nocturnal fauna, with the chance to observe crab-eating foxes, ocelots, and many caiman's eyes! Day 2 In the morning is a hike through one of the many mound-hills, which attracts a lot of mammals among many birds nests. In the afternoon is a horse ride through the flooding fields. The horse is the most versatile means of transportation, allowing both the crossing of the flood plain and access to the distant forests. The 'Pantaneiro' horse is extremely docile. Other animals are so used to it that they don't perceive the rider on the horse. Day 3 In the morning is a departure through the fields and forests until the beautiful lake Baía do Piuval, where we do a motorized boat trip, with the possibility of seeing many birds, reptiles and mammals. Return for lunch and immediate departure to the Cuiabá airport or hotel, with drop-off at the convenient time. PANTANAL 4 days / 3 nights
