Photograph caiman and capybara as they cool in the waters, often together. Watch wheeling flocks of parakeets, macaws, parrots and hundreds more species as they fly noisily overhead. Join the giant otters in fishing for piranha, pacu and dourado, but maybe leave the anteaters to dine alone. Take the best chance to see the most beautiful predators on the continent while on night safaris, with puma, ocelot and the magnificent jaguar spotted more here than anywhere else. Enjoy the most colourful skies at sunrise and sunset of every day, and the starriest of starry nights while staying at a Pantanal Lodge with Brazil Adventure Tours.

Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in The Pantanal

Destination: Cuiaba to Rio Mutum Lodge

After flying to Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso state in Brazil, you will be picked up at the airport for the 3 hour drive to Rio Mutum Lodge. From the raised dirt road it is easy to spot wildlife on the surrounding plains and in the waters. The largest rodent in the world, the capybara, is especially visible. After settling in, you can enjoy a welcome drink and hear about the activities program before your first experience of the spectacular colours of a Pantanal sunset. Thousands of birds fill the sky as the sun disappears in shades of gold, pink and purple. Dinner is at the lodge, with the evening free to enjoy the sights and sounds around the lodge.

Day 2

The Largest Wetlands in the World

Destination: Pousada Rio Mutum Pantanal Lodge

After breakfast, you can depart on a guided tour horseback tour into The Pantanal for the best wildlife viewing in South America. The savannah, lakes and hills make a beautiful landscape and the open spaces allow unobstructed views of a whole array of creatures. The journey to Sia Mariana Bay, riding through the waters, gives you the chance to see giant anteaters, tapirs, capybaras, deer and armadillos as well as abundant bird and aquatic life. After returning to the lodge for lunch, you can take a photo safari on the crystal clear waters of the Rio Mutum. Anacondas and giant otters are spotted occasionally in the area. Dinner is at the lodge.

Day 3

Pantanal Wildlife

Destination: Pousada Rio Mutum Pantanal Lodge

After breakfast, a boat ride and trail hike to Chacororé Bay, a 15km wide lake give you chance to learn more about the delicate ecosystem of The Pantanal, before seeing the aquatic life of the pristine lake and reptile life around its shores. After lunch, a boat trip takes you to one of the largest nesting sites in The Pantanal. After dinner, a night safari takes you to spot nocturnal animals. Many predators such as jaguars, pumas, ocelots and maned wolves hunt in the cooler night. The eyes of some of the 20 million alligators of The Pantanal are very visible at night, and it will feel like you can see at least that many stars in the unpolluted night sky!

Day 4

Pantanal Activities

Destination: Pousada Rio Mutum Pantanal Lodge

Pousada Rio Mutum has many activities available during your stay, which depend on the season and weather and water conditions. Birdwatching is the most popular leisure activity in the Pantanal Wetlands of course, with their abundance being one of the major reasons why the Pantanal has the highest concentration of fauna on the planet. Studies of Pantanal Birdlife take place at the lodge and local expert guides can tailor your trips to include days purely bird-watching. The aquatic life comes in just as great numbers too, with fishing being the second most popular activity although only allowed in the high waters of March to October.

Day 5

Leaving The Pantanal

Destination: Pousada Rio Mutum to Cuiaba & Away

At least one morning in the Pantanal should be spent admiring the sunrise. Dawn in the Pantanal is a beautiful time, although not a peaceful one! The jungle comes alive with thousands of bird, monkey and amphibian calls in a chorus of staggering volume. Parrots, parakeets and macaws seem to be competing to make the most noise as the sun rises over the canopy of trees. A morning transfer takes you back to Cuiaba Airport where you can fly on to Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro to connect with international flights, or fly on to one of our other wonderful Brazil destinations such as Iguazu Falls or the Amazon.
