Four nights with more time for the Aquidauana River, birds and fazenda life
Five days at Pousada Aguapé with a broader activity programme and plenty of time for the river, birdlife and the fazenda’s different habitats.
Aguapé is a versatile choice in the southern Pantanal: a well-run family fazenda with a wide range of activities and good logistics to both Campo Grande and Bonito.
The programme is flexible and activities are arranged locally according to weather, season and group conditions.
Day 1
Arrive at Fazenda São José after a transfer from Campo Grande, Bonito or another lodge.
After lunch and check-in, take a first wildlife drive or horse ride.
Dinner and overnight at Pousada Aguapé.
Day 2
Horse riding crosses several typical fazenda habitats and is one of the classic ways to experience the Pantanal.
After lunch, take a vehicle safari or a walk focusing on tracks, plants and birdlife.
The day may end with an evening excursion after dark.
Day 3
Spend the morning or afternoon on the Aquidauana River. From the motorboat, search for birds, monkeys, capybaras, caimans and other species along the gallery forest.
When season and rules permit, the trip may be combined with piranha fishing.
The second activity is selected from the fazenda programme.
Day 4
The extra day allows another safari, birdwatching, a wagon ride or an activity connected with the fazenda’s cattle work.
The guide adapts the programme according to what you have already experienced and where wildlife has recently been seen.
Dinner and a final night at Aguapé.
Day 5
A short morning activity may be possible depending on departure time.
After breakfast, continue to Bonito, Campo Grande or the next destination.
Aguapé ligger på en familjeägd fazenda med mer än 150 års historia. Rummen har luftkonditionering, eget badrum och enkel, bekväm standard; på området finns pool och gemensamma ytor.
Landskapet omfattar cerrado, baías, vazantes, corixos och Rio Aquidauanas galleriskog. Mer än 300 fågelarter har registrerats i området.
Easy to moderate
The programme suits most travellers with a reasonable level of general fitness. It includes horse riding, shorter walks and getting in and out of boats and safari vehicles.
Guests who prefer not to ride can normally be offered an alternative, depending on the lodge’s daily planning.
Aktiviteterna planeras på plats och ordningen kan ändras efter väder, vattenstånd, gruppstorlek och fazendans löpande arbete.
Tre nätter ger en bra introduktion. Fyra nätter ger bättre marginal för fler miljöer och aktiviteter utan att programmet blir pressat.
Ridning är en av Aguapés viktigaste upplevelser men det går normalt att välja en alternativ aktivitet om man inte vill rida.
Aguapé går bra att kombinera med Bonito; transport och exakt resordning anges i SambaTravels reseförslag.
Programmet kan bokas separat eller som en del av en längre skräddarsydd resa. Exakt innehåll och pris framgår av SambaTravels reseförslag.
Pantanals klimat är varmt under stora delar av året, men tidiga morgnar och vinterdagar kan vara svala. Klä er i lager och välj lätta plagg i dämpade färger för utflykterna.
Långbyxor, långärmat och stängda skor ger skydd mot sol, grenar och insekter. Kamera och kikare bör skyddas mot damm, regn och stänk under båt- och kanotturer.
We help you choose the right length of stay and combine the lodge with Bonito, flights, transfers and other parts of your journey.
