Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Pousada Trijuncao is beautiful, boutique property located in the heart of the cerrado. Discover one of the richest biomes in the world and enjoy the highest standards of hospitality.
Caiman is a private reserve located on 53,000 hectares in the southern Pantanal, renowned for its strong focus on conservation. It consists of the main Casa Caiman, plus an exclusive-use lodge, with a restaurant, pool and own guide.
Nestled amongst vast, lush wetlands, Araras Eco Lodge was constructed to blend in with its natural surroundings and is committed to local environmental initiatives such as inhibiting deforestation along the banks of the Rio Clarinho and encouraging hyacinth macaws to nest in the Northern Pantanal. The 19 rooms are simple and furnished in a rustic regional style with ceiling fans and screened windows.
Pousada do Parque is located on the border of the Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park overlooking its own private reserve away from town. The eight comfortable rooms are ensuite and air-conditioned and located within the main building where guests may use the cosy lounge and terrace with its hammocks and comfortable chairs. Guests will find a swimming pool and sauna. The lodge is excellently located for those wishing to explore the Three Ecosystems of Mato Grosso: the Chapada dos Guimaraes, Pantanal and the Amazon.
Baia das Pedras was built in 1960 as a working cattle farm before being converted into a charming ecolodge in 2003. Retaining its traditional style, the lodge has just two double and three triple rooms, each of which is simply but comfortably furnished and all with air conditioning. The farm kitchen specialises in traditional Pantanal cuisine, cooked on a wood-fired oven and when not exploring the Pantanal there are hammocks dotted throughout the property to relax in. The owners of the lodge raise Pantaneiro horses as well as cattle and a stay here is a great chance to learn more about the culture and life of the cowboy.
