Pousada Araras Pantanal Eco Lodge
with Jaguar Express

Paket 5 dagar/4 nätter

Detta paket har en riktigt spännande avslutning där ni reser ned till jaguarernas rike runt Porto Jofre och ägnar hela dagen till att leta efter den skygga jaguaren.

Dag 1
- Arrival:
Photo safari through Transpantaneira Park road and introduction walk.

Meeting and greeting at Cuiaba airport. After a briefing on your trip, departure at 13h20 or 17h00, depending on your flight schedule.

This transfer is divided into two different stages. The first is a journey on a paved road along farms and cattle ranches. After reaching Poconé we take the Transpantaneira Park Road. This is a park road at its best, allowing us to drive above the water level, watching the flora and fauna of the Pantanal ecosystem – a photo safari with several stops along the way for photos and information.

Welcome drink on arrival and accommodation. Later, the guide will lead you into an introductory walk through the surroundings of the lodge, explaining our concepts and many conservation projects. Continue to the Great Egret Lookout, a 12 m high observation tower. After dinner, night walk under the Southern Hemisphere sky.

Dag 2 - Canoeing and trekking 
After breakfast, take a photo safari through private dirt roads towards the Clarinho River. 
Reaching its banks, board a canoe and paddle down the river, exploring the forest that grows by the riverbanks and mangroves. Here lives a colony of “ariranhas” – giant river otters. With some luck, you may spot a family playing with their babies and teaching them how to swim and fish. Chance of fishing the elusive piranha, not an easy task, but fun. Enjoy a barbecue lunch under the shadow of the trees (*). Hammocks available to enjoy a “siesta”.
Return to the Lodge in time for the afternoon tea. Later on, trek the Howler Monkey trail to the Howler Monkey Tower, our highest observation point – 25 m high -, for a magnificent view of the sunset. 
After dinner, join a night drive in search of nocturnal animals. 
(*) If the Sentinela Camp is not accessible (depending on the weather and terrain conditions), this canoeing tour will take place on the Corixo River. In that case, we will return to the lodge for lunch. 

Dag 3 - Horseback riding and trekking
After breakfast, enjoy a horseback ride, which will allow you to explore the diversity of the Pantanal landscape including some flooded areas of the Pantanal plain. The Pantaneiro horse are docile and has adapted, through the centuries, to eat with its nose underwater. In this region, the horse is the Pantaneiros’  best friend, a daily companion during work and leisure.
Return to the lodge for lunch.
In the afternoon, trek the Rondon Trail towards the 13 m high Jabiru Stork Tower, where you can watch a Jabiru Stork nest.
Return to Araras Eco Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Dag 4 -Jaguar Express
After breakfast, departure towards Cuiabá River at the end of Transpantaneira, 115km that will take approximately 2h30. 
Join one of our boats for a 6 hours safari looking for the elusive and admired Jaguar.

We will be exploring Cuiabá river, Piquiri, Three brothers riverbanks, bays and channels.

The jaguar é the 3rd biggest feline in the world and this is the best area to spot it. 
In order not to miss an unique chance of meeting this magnificent predator our lunch will be a lunchbox with fruits and sandwiches, prepared by the kitchen at Araras Lodge.
Return to Jofre region around 17h00.
Board our safari vehicle back to the lodge, arriving for dinner. 

 

Dag 5 - Departure from Araras to Cuiabá

Breakfast and departure at 7h30 or 12h30 to Cuiaba, with stops along the Transpantaneira Park Road for photos and a last glimpse of this unique ecosystem.

Note: The order of the activities may be modified according to the program at the lodge and weather or terrain conditions. The Araras Pantanal Eco Lodge team commitment is for a full enjoyment of the Pantanal Flood Plains, making it an unforgettable stay.
