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.
