Pantanal and Amazon Tours
Combining Pantanal and Amazon tours can allow you to see a larger variety of species and we can help you to do this. There a few possible ways of doing this:
  • use a lodge or cruise in the Manaus Brazil area
  • go overland to a lodge on the southern edge of the Amazon basin - wildlife viewing is not that good at these lodges
  • use the convenient and wildlife-rich Cristalino Lodge, accessed via a flight from Cuiaba - upscale and popular with birders. The most expensive option
