“Nice but missed opportunities”

Food was good and staff friendly. Great wifi.

“Fantastic Experience (especially as English speaking tourists)”

Our guides, Caio and Otavio, were fantastic. Their English was excellent and their enthusiasm for the local flora and fauna was infectious. It's clear the staff at Aymara really care about the local wildlife and sharing it with tourists in a considerate and sustainable way. The food was also excellent, with the staff taking the time to stop and have a chat with us when they could (despite our poor attempts at speaking Portuguese!). The room was also regularly cleaed and felt very safe/secure. The Jaguar trip was one we will never forget - we saw six Jaguars in one day (although we were very lucky with the weather/conditions).

“Would love to come back during the dry season.”

The staff especially the guides Bene and Kayu were great. Also the head of the restaurant Luis. The food was great most especially the deserts.

“Harmony between tourism and Nature”

Our holidays wouldn’t have been so special if it wasn’t in Aymara Lodge. Everything is so unique and special, and fits in our dream of how the development of the tourism in Pantanal and in other wildlife areas in the world should be. The staff is absolutely fantastic. And saying that I want to also acknowledge the ones who we didn’t meet and worked to make this experience perfect. The Aymara team should be very proud of what they achieved. The meals were delicious. Real flavoursome Brazilian homemade style meals. I’ll be talking about that pacu for many years to come. The afternoon coffee and cake was a special treat. For a Brazilian who has been living abroad for more than 20 years, it really reaches deep in my soul. The tours in the property exceeded our expectations. Every tour comes with different experiences and they are never like the one before. I’ve learned so much and it made me so much in love with this ecosystem. We just wished we could have seen Macaw, the young jaguar that has been seen in the area.

“Can't wait to come back”

we loved our stay at Aymara Lodge! we felt like in jungle dream - monkeys wake you up, capybaras greet you outside your hut, parrots in the trees... walking around you have the chance to see more animals. the facilities were all super beautiful. the staff were great, all very friendly, in a good mood and heartwarming. we chose Aymara because they offered to cater vegan food and they did! we did 2 safaris, a hike and a night safari with them - all were great! the guides were super sympathetic and knowledgeable. Will miss them! we also did the jaguar tour, which I highly recommended. my life dream came true - we met tapirs. ! all in all I can not recommend Aymara enough. If I come back to Pantanal, no doubt I'd come back.

Wildlife night safari

“GREAT locaties and Nice Lodge forma visit in the pantanel”

Beautifull Lodge on a great location. The staf where awesome and the tours we like very much. We did three days and two Nights which was enough in the wet season. Not rondingen that the doos was also awesome.

“Absolutely fabulous on all counts”

Fabulous place to stay. Excellent communication from start to finish, staff here are some of the best I’ve ever encountered, more than helpful, guides are very knowledgeable and there is a warmth and kindness seldom experienced. Room was lovely with huge comfy bed and excellent shower. The safaris, canoe, trail and dusk motor were extremely good and we saw jaguars, giant otter, hyacinth and blue gold macaw, howler monkeys, coatis etc etc. The environs are excellent and it has been a wonderful place to spend four nights of our life. The food is very good indeed, with real care taken over its cooking and presentation.

“Perfect place to relax, engage with nature, and see some amazing wildlife!”

Loved that the guides are passionate biologists that are extremely knowledgable

“Really nice lodge, great guides, exceptional jaguar experience”

Great location, guides were passionate, knowledgeable and professional. The rooms were spacious, very clean and nicely decorated. The food was good and varied. The grounds nice and well kept. The jaguar sighting is unique.

“Perfect :-)”

Everyone was very nice, helpful, connected with the nature and sympathetic. They offered many different tours, so the night tour-which was very interesting and great. As well the Kanu-tour was wonderful. Watching all the birds was amazing and the personal knew and could explain all of them. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always very fresh and tasty. A super stay-thank you! Manu and Alain

“Incredible-book it”

Caio and Bene the guides were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and really made our time at Aymara special! We loved getting to do canoe, walking and bike safaris, day and night safari drives (some at extra cost but good value!) and we saw such a diversity of wildlife. The jaguar expedition to Porto Joffre is not to be missed-truly a life changing experience to see a jaguar in the wild and, whilst it was a long day and additional cost, was so well organised and very worth it. The lodge itself is great with fantastic food, friendly and helpful staff, and comfortable and cool rooms (with air con which is very necessary in the Pantanal!). You feel very close to nature the whole time but are also in comfort. As an aside, it was very useful to be able to buy a wildlife guidebook and long sleeved top at the lodge. Staying at Aymara was the perfect way to see the wonders of the northern Pantanal-I highly recommend.

Aymara Lodge is set in beautiful grounds with nature in abundance on the doorstep. The staff are wonderful and you be treated like family. We are already missing everybody. The food is beautiful & the lodges are homely. Big shout out to our guide Bene for our being a friend and our big surprise on our last day. Look no further than Aymara for a perfect stay im paradise! We will return.

“Lovely lodge with great food and attentive staff.”

Lovely rooms and comfortable bed. We stayed 3 nights and saw lots of birds, in particular a family of Hyacinth Macaws in the tree on the grounds of the lodge. There were also monkeys in the trees. The pool was great in the heat, but we did need insect repellent when we got out! The staff were all very attentive, the guides were all trained biologists and very knowledgeable. The food was excellent, probably the best we had in Brazil overall. A great stay.

“Great Pantanal Lodge”

Our June visit coincided with unusually cold weather for that time of year and therefore the wildlife was quieter than you would expect. That said we saw plenty during our four days with Pablo and Bene being our excellent guides during that time. The Lodge is beautifully set in bushland and a nearby waterway on which we enjoyed a couple of kayak excursions. The birdlife was plentiful and varied including the resident hyacinth macaws - a very entertaining trio. Plenty of monkey sightings too. Loved our stay!

“Beautiful location and the staff made it incredible!”

We had a lovely time at Aymara Lodge. The guides (Pablo and Caio) were so friendly and welcoming. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the region and it’s wildlife and their enthusiasm made our time at the lodge really enjoyable. The food was nice and there was something for everyone, the service staff were lovely as well. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the location was really beautiful. Everything ran smoothly and overall we had a great time.

Fantastic guides, staff, food and rooms😀 We saw many animals and birds at every tour and at the lodge. We loved staying in the middle of the wild nature at Aymara Lodge👍

“If you are planning to visit Pantanal, this is the place to stay.”

We are a family of 4. Inc 2 teenagers. If you are planning to visit Pantanal, this is the place to stay. Some of the reasons: 1. Location. Aymara is direct by the river. Whenever you feel like it, you can take one of the canoes, and 60 seconds later you are in the jungle, without a sound you can row down the river and safely observe the wild nature. 2. The team. You will first of all learn to know the super friendly owner family. Owner Giuliano is a former zoology guide. During the big fires in 2019, some voluntaries came to Pantanal, just to do what they could to save the wild life. One of these voluntaries is Pablo, a young biology school teacher and scientist. Pablo’s plan was to stay for a few weeks, but have now decided to dedicate his life to the well-being of Pantanal nature. As a guide at Aymara. Thanks to , Giuliano, Pablo and many others, the fires never reach the area around Aymara. Instead the area became the safe place and water hole for many animals. Maybe that is why there are so many animals around the lodge to look at :) 3. The rooms. Air condition works very well and beds are great. You will fall asleep, and wake up, to jungle sounds. 4. The food. Bufê of all types of Brazilian food. Fresh fish from the Pantanal rivers. And much more. 5. In the evenings, some of the guides light a small bonfire, and play some songs for us, while we enjoy cold drinks. Nice! 6. Activities: Yes, Aymara arrange jaguar safari, and sport fishing, etc. But of course, you never know if the jaguar will turn up, with the risk go home disappointed. Which is crazy as you are in the paradise of the world! You should not go into the wild and expect the expected. So we suggest you skip these things completely and instead spend your time horse riding in the water lands (no experience needed), or look for toucans, tapirs, deers, caimans, ant-eaters, blue macaw, birds, etc etc ………..in a morning or night Safari with Pablo. Or canoeing.

“unforgettable stay in the middle of nature”

It was a fantastically beautiful lodge in the middle of nature. Already in the lodge itself, one saw a lot of animals. My personal highlight were the hyacinth macaws. A dream came true to watch them in the great outdoors. The excursions are also very well organized and provided unforgettable experiences. Again, a big thank you to Pablo ☺️ About the food we can only say that everything was very, very tasty. We had an unforgettable stay and would definitely recommend Amaya Lodge to others

Guides, food, location all great.
