PANTANAL
WILDERNESS EXPEDITION
PANTANAL DO PAIAGUÁS
OFF
THE BEATEN PATH
This is an active pantanal safari that provides intense
wildlifeexperiences for the nature and outdoor enthusiasts.
Pantanal do Paiaguás is relatively unvisited compared
to traditional Pantanal destinations. This means we are
able to see a pride of capybaras on our own without a
dozen other groups converging on the same spot. We will
walk and drive trails to track the big game, canoe the
Taquari River to get close to caimans and river otters.
Instead of staying in the usual established camps, we
set up bush camps at various locations across the Pantanal,
as well as having an opportunity to sample some typical
local culture by spending a night at a fazenda ranch.
Both
a driver and a guide accompany this active and heavilyparticipatory
expedition. We provide tents, sleeping sheets, and roll
mats, all of which can comfortably be carried with you
and your luggage in our 4x4 truck. All cooking equipment
and supplies are provided, and we also carry a large cooler
box which we keep stocked with ice for as long as possible
during the trip. Expedition participants are divided into
cooking teams by our crew, and we share the duties cooking
on gas stoves and, where appropriate, by open fire. |

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
PANTANAL DO PAIAGUAS TOUR – 8/10/03
If you have a sense of adventure, enjoy the wilderness, don’t
mind getting dirty and going where no ones goes.
Well the Pantanal adventure safari is for you. I joined Carlos
for 7 days in a remote part of the Pantanal exploring parts
where tourists have never been. I viewed some of the greatest
birds on the planet, the Jabiru, toucan and the beautiful
macaw just to mention very few of the 650 species found in
Pantanal.
I also saw the giant anteater with was very rewarding. Carlos
knows the hush very well and it was a pleasure learning about
the Pantanal from him.
