Explore the Pantanal
Stay deep in the Pantanal, arguably the best place in the Americas to spot wildlife.
Utilising small charter flights and nimble motorboats to travel around one of nature’s last frontiers, this beyond the ordinary adventure offers an in-depth insight (not to mention a remarkable birds’ eye view) of one of the Americas’ most iconic landscapes.
A remarkable wildlife safari that travels far away from the crowds to highly remote lodges, there will be countless opportunities for spotting species such as monkeys, capybaras, armadillos and giant otters.
Stay deep in the Pantanal, arguably the best place in the Americas to spot wildlife.
Search rivers and crystalline lakes for rare species of birds and animals.
Take scenic flights in a small plane to reach highly remote lodges in the Pantanal.
Explore the densely forested landscape on horseback, on foot or in a dugout canoe.
Designed to appeal to those who wish to journey through the Brazilian Pantanal in style, this small plane and motorboat journey is both extravagant and adventurous. In the company of expert guides, travel between seemingly endless areas of forest and grasslands broken only by rivers and lagoons. While utilising a small charter plane is undeniably exclusive, the real asset of travelling in this way is the opportunity it brings to cut down on travelling time and take in the scale of the Pantanal (at 42 million acres, it covers an area slightly larger than England). Throw in high chances of spotting native wildlife – from caiman and deer to anacondas and jaguars – with the unique opportunities to stay on working farmsteads and meet knowledgeable Pantaneiros, and this journey becomes truly extraordinary.

For up close and personal encounters with fearless sea lions, penguins, tortoises, sharks, blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas (to name very few), these islands are unmissable and combine beautifully with an adventure in Peru.
