From Campo Grande airport you will be transferred to Caiman Ecolodge, your superior accommodation located in the heart of the Pantanal. Situated in Cuyabeno Reserve, these intimate lodges will be your base for exploration for the coming days. Settle into your surroundings after your arrival by kicking back in a hammock or taking in the rainforest canopy from the viewing tower.

Pantanal day tour

Take an excursion to the Southern Pantanal with one of Caiman Ecolodge’s naturalist guides. They will teach you everything there is to know about the local flora, fauna and culture of the Pantanal region. Depending on your interest you can choose to take a 4WD safari, paddle on a canoe tour, take a walk on a hiking trail or enjoy a nocturnal spotlight tour of the forest.

Pantanal day tour

Today you have an additional free day to enjoy more of the Pantanal. This time allows you to enjoy more of the included activities from day two or, alternatively, to book an optional excursion.
