Day 1: Cuiabá Airport - Pousada UeSo Pantanal

After baggage claim at the airport, our tour guide will wait with a sign with your name on it. Then you drive to the small gold digger town Poconé, 100 km away. Then we continue along the famous natural road Transpantaneira to the Pousada UeSo Pantanal - km 38. On this part of the Transpantaneira you can already see various wild animals such as caimans, capivaras, jabiru storks etc. Upon arrival at the Pousada, lunch is served in buffet form (depending on arrival time at the airport). Afterwards there is a short break. In the late afternoon you will take a walk to track down animals. Dinner is at the lodge. On request, a night safari on foot can be arranged after dinner to track nocturnal animals. Don't forget to bring your flashlight.

Day 2: Pousada UeSo Pantanal

In the morning at 5 o'clock before breakfast we start to our sunrise foot tour. Enjoy the awakening of the Pantanal, a natural spectacle you should not miss. After breakfast you will take a riding tour (also suitable for people without riding experience). Lunch is then back at the pousada. After the siesta, we do a boat tour on the nearby Rio Nova or Rio Claro. With a bit of luck you will see a family of giant otters and many birds as well as some other mammals, maybe even the tapir.

Day 3: Pousada UeSo Pantanal - Cuiabá Airport

Breakfast is in the Pousada UeSo Pantanal. After breakfast transfer to the airport. If you depart later, in the afternoon, you will go on another excursion on foot or by horse in the morning. In this case, transfer to the airport after lunch.

Light backpack, jeans or comfortable long trousers, light rain jacket, sweater, hat, hiking or sneakers, swimsuit. A long-sleeved light T-shirt.

Get up at about 05:30 am, then we will serve you a coffee or tea. Afterwards you drive to Porto Jofre to the end point of the Transpantaneira, about 107 km on unpaved roads. On the way to Porto Jofre you will meet many mammals and birds. In the middle of this beautiful nature we stop to enjoy breakfast in form of a picnic. In Porto Jofre starts a five hour boat tour (simple boats) deep into the Cerrado, in middle of untouched nature. We look for the Jaguar in the area of Rio Cuiabá, Rio Tres Irmãos, Rio São Lourenço and Rio Piquiri. Lunch is in the form of a picnic (packed lunch). In the late afternoon we return to the lodge. Dinner and overnight is in the Pousada UeSo Pantanal.
