Travel itinerary
We will depart from Montevideo bound for Campo Grande,the capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Upon arrival, we will check into a comfortable hotel in front of the airport to rest after the flight and prepare to begin our adventure.
After breakfast, we will travel toward the Miranda region, the gateway to the famous Pantanal: the largest continuous wetland in the world and one of Brazil’s most important ecosystems, home to exceptional biodiversity.
After lunch in Miranda, we will check into a welcoming fazenda with full board—a lodge surrounded by lush nature, ideal for immersing ourselves in the sounds, scents, and colors of one of the most biodiverse biomes on the planet.
In the afternoon, we will enjoy our first ecotourism activities, which will introduce us to the surroundings of the fazenda.
We will spend the day exploring the Pantanal ecosystem through a variety of guided activities: we will take an ecological walk to discover the local flora and fauna with expert guides who will teach us how to interpret the signs and sounds of the environment; then, we will take a canoe ride along the channels and coricos of the Miranda River—a silent, magical experience that allows us to observe birds, jacarés (caimans), and other animals up close.
We will also enjoy a river safari along the Miranda and Vermelho rivers, where the meeting of the waters creates a fascinating landscape, as well as a nighttime boat safari—an opportunity to observe nocturnal wildlife under the starry Pantanal sky.
We will continue enjoying the region’s unique experiences, including a land safari in 4×4 vehicles, traveling off-road through fields and wetlands inhabited by capybaras, deer, toucans, macaws, and, with luck, a onça pintada (jaguar).
