À vivre

This lodge, situated on the banks of the Pixaim River, is ideally placed for birdwatchers, naturalists and photographers.

Here, the focus (and the investment...) is on the means of observing and protecting local wildlife rather than on decorating the rooms or common areas. From that standpoint, it is fairly rustic. Do not expect a “chic safari”.
But what matters most is what Pantanal Lodge offers its visitors for wildlife viewing: beyond the flat-bottomed boat outings to approach giant otters, private boat trips are also offered (optional) to try to photograph jaguars; four kilometres of forest trails offer opportunities to spot new birds and monkeys; two observation towers are available, and this is also a fairly unique place to observe ocelots (80% chance of sighting during each stay). A fairly unique place, then, in the Northern Pantanal.

Layout

A small, intimate and comfortable lodge comprising 15 air-conditioned rooms, a large living/dining room, an outdoor lounge area and a library devoted to Brazilian nature. The entire lodge is equipped with WIFI.
To eliminate plastic bottle waste, the lodge offers free chilled drinking water, distributed in unlimited quantities from a dedicated water fountain.

Rooms

Each of the fifteen rooms is comfortably equipped with a private bathroom with shower, fans, air conditioning and a queen bed or two twin beds. They feature mosquito nets, fans, air conditioning and either a large bed or two twin beds.

Activities offered

Pantanal Lodge continually improves the quantity and quality of its wildlife sightings. Remarkably, since 2005 it has been the only lodge in the world with an observation tower specifically designed to view a Jabiru stork nest. The 12-metre-high viewing platform is reached by an easy-to-climb spiral staircase. The top of the tower sits slightly above nest level, just 16 metres away. Their specially trained naturalist guides have habituated these storks over the years, so the birds now completely ignore visitors and carry out all their most intimate nesting behaviours in plain sight.
