Question 1

What wildlife can I expect to see on the Pantanal Discovery package?

Accepted Answer

On this 3-day introductory safari you can expect to see caimans, capybaras, giant otters, hyacinth macaws, jabiru storks, and a wide variety of birds. Jaguar sightings are possible but not guaranteed on this entry-level package — for a jaguar guarantee, consider our 5-day or 6-day packages.

Question 2

Is the Pantanal Discovery suitable for first-time safari visitors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Pantanal Discovery is our ideal introductory package for first-time visitors. It covers the core Pantanal experiences — boat safari, night safari, and reserve trail — at an accessible price point, giving you a genuine taste of the world's largest tropical wetland.

Question 3

What is included in the package price?

Accepted Answer

All packages include accommodation at our eco-lodge, all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), an expert naturalist guide, all scheduled tours and safaris, and round-trip transfer from Cuiabá to the Pantanal. Drinks, laundry, airfare, and personal expenses are not included.

Question 4

What is the best time of year to visit?

Accepted Answer

The dry season (June to October) is the best time for wildlife viewing, especially for jaguars. July to September is peak jaguar season when water levels are lower and animals concentrate along the rivers. The wet season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, baby animals, and excellent birdwatching.

Question 5

Do I need a visa to visit Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Brazil has visa-free agreements with many countries including the USA, Canada, UK, EU nations, and Australia. Citizens of these countries can enter Brazil without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism. We recommend checking the latest entry requirements with the Brazilian consulate in your country before travel.
