Itinerary

Day 1 Pantanal

The Pantanal is the world’s largest area of wetlands, a flat landscape, with gently sloping and meandering rivers. The region is situated in South America, mostly within the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. The Pantanal floods during the wet season, submerging over 80% of the area, and nurturing the world's richest collection of aquatic plants. It is thought to be the world’s most dense flora and fauna ecosystem.

Upon arrival you will be met by our local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.

Upon arrival you will be transferred to the Pousada Rio Mutum, passing through the small village of Mimoso, where Candido Rondon was born. Once you arrive at the Pousada enjoy a welcome drink and get ready for a delicious dinner at the lodge. After dinner the facilities of the Pousada as well as the programs for the next days will be presented.

The Pousada do Rio Mutum - Pantanal Lodge is located in the municipal district of Barão de Melgaço, one of the most beautiful regions of Mato Grosso´s Pantanal. In this ecological paradise the sound of the birds at dawn, the enchantment of the waters, the blue sky, the breathtaking sunset, horseback riding through the forests and wetlands, trails totally immersed in nature, flights of birds, Brazilian otters playing by the river, alligators enjoying the sun... will give you unique and unforgettable moments.
