Gruta do Lago Azul. Bonito

Floating in Rio Sucuri
The transportation will take visitors to the start of a trail of approximately 500 m, to walk through the river bank forest, taking the visitor to the headwaters of the Sucuri River. Floating for about 1.800 m, the visitor will be able to appreciate the beauty of the underwater flora and the interaction with various shoals of fishes.

The trip has a boat support. Restaurant available.
Duration: half day. Distance: 19 km

Rio da Prata Floating Day
Floating at Rio da Prata
The trip begins with a pleasant walk through the river bank forest of the Olho d'Água and Prata Rivers. This interpretative trail is protected. Upon arrival to the head of the Olho D'Água River, a huge natural pool of crystal-clear waters, the guide will help everyone to equip themselves with a mask and snorkel and to train for the floating to explore the surroundings. Once this preparation starts, the floating down the river starts. A gentle current carries visitors calmly through a trip in an underwater world, inhabited by dozens of species of fish and aquatic plants. After about 1.7 km of the route floating down the Olho d'Água River, it meets the other river: Rio da Prata. From this encounter, called "Barra", the floating continues along the Rio da Prata, for more than 600 meters. In the end, a typical Mato Gross lunch will be served.

Duration: full day
Distance: 45 km

During the 3 nights / 4 days stay, apart from having 9 meals included (breakfast, lunch and dinner), you will have the following activities that will be organized in the lodge:
1. Piranha fishing
Take part in this local tradition and enjoy a cultural experience with a twist. The activity may attract caimans and scavenging birds looking for food, offering another opportunity to observe wildlife up close.
2. Boat ride at sunset
Join this traditional activity and enjoy a cultural experience that also brings you closer to nature. As piranhas are caught, caimans and scavenging birds are often drawn to the area, offering great opportunities for wildlife observation.
3. River Safari
Cruising along the Pantanal’s rivers gives you the chance to spot caimans, capybaras, giant otters, and a wide variety of aquatic birds. These boat tours also increase your chances of seeing jaguars resting along the shores.
4. Floating in the river
Pantanal’s aquatic life. Snorkeling here adds a splash of adrenaline to the experience. Floating in the Miranda River is a unique and curious adventure. At first, diving into the same waters where piranhas are caught might seem risky, but rest assured: these sharp-toothed fish stay close to the riverbanks, and the floating activity takes place far from them. A motorboat will take you upriver to the starting point of the dive. Jumping into the refreshing water is a thrill in itself, and with the help of a foam float, you’ll drift peacefully with the current of the Mirante River all the way back to the lodge. It’s about 40 minutes of surrendering to nature, enjoying every moment, and taking in the incredible scenery of the Pantanal from a truly unique perspective.
5. Land Safari of the Pantanal of Nhecolândia
Aboard open 4x4 vehicles, you’ll travel off-road paths to get up close to the local wildlife. During daytime safaris, it’s common to spot caimans, capybaras, peccaries, anteaters, iguanas, snakes, deer, otters, howler monkeys, toucans, macaws, and parakeets. With a bit of luck, you might even see jaguars or ocelots. Night safaris offer the chance to encounter nocturnal animals such as ocelots, tapirs, foxes, and various species of owls.
6. Ecological walk in the rainforest and the fields
Exploring the diverse ecosystems of the Pantanal on foot allows you to encounter coatis, armadillos, howler and capuchin monkeys, and a variety of endemic birds. These walks offer a more intimate connection with the region’s flora and fauna.
