Four days across the world’s largest tropical wetland, with dawn outings to watch wildlife.
The Transpantaneira starts at Poconé and runs over wooden bridges toward the Cuiabá River. Between July and October, the dry season concentrates birds, caimans and capybaras around the pools and improves the chance of seeing jaguars on the riverbanks.
We stay in Pantanal lodges, head out at dawn in small boats and follow distance protocols around wildlife. Outings are led by regional wildlife guides.
