Visit the Pantanal Pantanal Holidays & Tailor-made Tours

Leading deep into the heart of the Pantanal is the Transpantaneira, a raised dirt road carved into the landscape and sectioned by small wooden bridges, providing access to lodges and farms of the region. The lack of towns and people means there is only one road and it can be difficult to get around this area, which is 15 times the size of the Florida Everglades. Commonly used are jeeps and motor boats, although our personal favourite is to explore on horseback, just like the locals, which can take you to places otherwise inaccessible.

Our guests will stay at one of the fazenda-style lodges, such as the Caiman Ecological Refuge in the south or Pousada do Rio Mutum in the north. These are comfortable properties, all with excellent guides who accompany you on excursions into the wetlands to discover the local flora and fauna, exploring on nature walks, horse-rides, canoe trips and jeep safaris.
