ABOUT THE ITINERARY
Wild Brazil takes you to some of the more remote parts of the country, concentrating on the biodiversity and wildlife of South America’s largest country.
Staying in three beautiful lodges, you will unearth the surrounding nature with a team of expert local guides. Spend a day tracking jaguar at a special rehabilitation project in the Pantanal, kayaking in search of spectacled caiman in the Amazon and learning about the plight of endangered Maned Wolves in the Cerrado.
It’s well known that these areas have suffered from poaching, fires, illegal logging and over-farming. It’s a problem that continues, but Wild Brazil looks to support these areas by using lodges that are making conscious efforts in both conservation and sustainability. Guests can enjoy the wildest parts of Brazil year round, but for spotting jaguar it is best to visit during the dry-season (from April to October).
PANTANAL
Arrive into Campo Grande, the entry point for the Southern Pantanal in Brazil and the largest tropical wetland on earth.
Your time in the Pantanal is spent at specialist private reserve, where jaguars have been gradually habituated and subsequently guests have a high chance of seeing the Pantanal’s top predator.
Days are spent on game drives in the wetlands, witnessing wildlife including capybaras, caimans, and a variety of birds, including the iconic jabiru stork. There are also night safaris, kayaking on the lake and horse-riding.
Stay: Four nights at Caiman Lodge – full-board
CUIABÁ
Today you will leave the Pantanal and begin the journey to the Amazon rainforest. A night is required to in Cuiaba when getting between both areas.
Stay: One night at the Hotel Deville Prime Cuiabá – bed & breakfast
AMAZON
Your next stop is a luxury eco-lodge in the southern Amazon basin, on the shores of the Cristalino River.
Cristalino Lodge offers a range of immersive nature activities. Visitors can explore the rainforest through guided hikes on well-maintained trails, embark on canoeing excursions along the Cristalino River, and enjoy birdwatching with opportunities to spot rare species.
The lodge also features canopy towers for breathtaking views of the forest, boat trips for wildlife spotting, and night walks to observe nocturnal creatures. With expert naturalist guides, Cristalino Lodge provides an unforgettable experience in one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
