Safari Through the Mato Grosso Marshland

We'll pick you up at Avenida São Sebastião at 7:30 am and head south towards the Mato Grosso wetlands. Upon arrival, we'll embark on a 65-kilometer (40-mile) safari along the Transpantaneira highway, observing wildlife such as caimans, macaws, toucans, and the jaguar, a highlight of the region. The Mato Grosso marshlands were designated a World Heritage Site in 1988.

At noon, we'll arrive at a lodge where you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool before a typical Midwest Brazilian lunch. The menu includes grilled meat, chicken in sauce or roast, rice, beans, steaks, and salads.

Later, we'll take a boat ride to further explore the natural wonders of this region, observing the impact of annual floods on the wetland's ecology. The boat trip will last an hour, and we'll return to the departure pier before heading back to Cuiabá, arriving at the meeting point by 7:30 pm.
