Begin your adventure in São Paulo with a direct flight from São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport to Campo Grande. Upon arrival, travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle to the heart of the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland.
Your base for the next two nights will be Santa Clara Lodge, a private ranch that protects more than 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres) of pristine Pantanal habitat. Crossed by the scenic Abobral River and located near the Miranda River and Rio Negro State Park, the lodge is situated in one of the region's finest wildlife-viewing areas.
Because it is a private reserve, Santa Clara Lodge offers excellent opportunities for nature activities, including wildlife drives, horseback riding, river excursions, fishing, birdwatching, and guided walks. The lodge also features a bird feeding station frequently visited by dozens of Red-and-green Macaws and Hyacinth Macaws, the largest parrot species in the world and one of the Pantanal's most iconic birds.
After check-in, enjoy a thrilling night safari along scenic roads in search of nocturnal wildlife. Possible sightings include Tapirs, the largest land mammal in South America, Giant Anteaters, Crab-eating Foxes, and, with some luck, the elusive Jaguar.
The following morning, explore the Miranda River aboard an exclusive motorboat safari, one of the best ways to observe Pantanal wildlife. Keep watch for Jaguars, Giant Otters, Yacare Caimans, Capybaras, and a remarkable diversity of birds that thrive along the riverbanks.
In the afternoon, choose between another river expedition or additional lodge activities such as piranha fishing, open-vehicle wildlife safaris, horseback riding, or guided birdwatching walks. As darkness falls, experience a unique spotlight river safari, offering another opportunity to discover the Pantanal's fascinating nocturnal creatures.
On your final morning, enjoy one last wildlife-viewing excursion before returning to Campo Grande after lunch for your evening flight back to São Paulo.
This tour is suitable for travelers of all ages, including families with children and senior visitors, and offers an unforgettable introduction to the extraordinary wildlife and landscapes of the Brazilian Pantanal.
