“Nice place to stay for a night, but better to push on to Porto Jofre”
It was nice to see different birds on the river (inc hyacinth macaques and toucans) from what we had seen in 2-3 days at Porto Jofre. Also, offering a free boat ride or vehicle safari is a great idea. The boat trip was a bit tame after going out at PJ but enjoyable nonetheless.

Location is isolated - but that's the whole idea. Great opportunity to get away from civilization.

The Pousada is next to a beautiful river about two hours into the Pantanal. The food buffet is delicious, the pool offers cooldown during the midday heat and the best part is the tours offered by the guides. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

“Good stay overall.”
Excursions from the lodge to view wildlife were good. Staff are friendly, particularly Wende the Manager and Benedict the guide.

“Disappointed / Decepcionada”
Unfortunately disappointed by the activities proposed by the hotel. Not in line with nature connexion... during all the tours booked with the hotel, we have not seen any animal… The guides did not explain anything. very different from the tours booked with other hotels. much more “client driven”. Also, the all inclusive formule did not include water neither (surprisingly) glass and ice. last but not least the rooms are clearly very different from the pictures.
