  Não somente de pesca deveria viver o turismo em Cáceres: o Rio Paraguai é uma excelente opção para quem vai a passeio e quer somente conhecer as belezas do Pantanal desta região. O melhor é fazer o passeio de manhãzinha ou ao final do dia para ter um sol mais brando e maior possibilidade de ver animais (aves e bichos como capivaras e até onças são vistos na região próxima à cidade). Hoje você agenda direto com os barqueiros pelo celular e não é possível marcar com antecedência o passeio - acredito que seria uma melhora significativa uma agência que se interessasse em fazer este tipo de agendamento para turistas brasileiros e estrangeiros que não necessariamente estão lá para turismo de pesca.

  The Pantanal wetland area is amazing and the wildlife is wonderful. We recently completed a 3 day stay on the Jaguar Houseboat operated by Pantanal Explorer. Contrary to the website information we faced a five and a half hour drive from Cuiaba, over half of which was on a bumpy dirt road. We arrived to find that our houseboat did not actually move (very different from the photos on the website). Instead we took day trips (one of which was 12 hours in full sun) as the houseboat was moored hours from the best wildlife. Don't expect to see a Jaguar - we didn't. The cabins were very basic, although the food was good given the circumstances. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, although was an hour late arriving in Cuiaba. It is a trip I will never forgot. Both good and bad!

  Delícia de Pantanal... Os animais livres em seu habitat, a mata no seu tom verde mais intenso, cheiro de fazenda, comida no fogão a lenha... Muito bom!

  No coração da América a vida é pulsante, nunca vou esquecer o canto das aves, os bandos de araras e periquitos, a onça correndo pelos charcos. Saudades das noites quentes do Pantanal, só não esqueça seu repelente!!! Mesmo assim valeu a pena!!!

  We are 3 English birders/natural history enthusiasts and visited Brazil's Pantanal late September 2012. This was a 3 centre trip superbly organised by Carlos Grandez of pantanal ecoexplorer. We stayed 3 nights on a houseboat on the Paraguay river,bordering Bolivia,near the excellent Taima reserve. This was an absolutely amazing experience,the boat itself was way above our expectations with the food and staff being fantastic. Daily trips were made from here along the Paraguay river in search,primarily,of Jaguar and other wildlife gems. Our boatman,Mato,spoke no English and we speak no Portugese but this in no way stopped us from seeing and phootgraphing some incredible birds/animals (incuding a full 35mins up close and personal with 2 Jaguars). Mato's sense of humour of was matched only by his sight, often seeing things with his naked eye that we struggled to find using binoculars! A mixture of hand signals and mime actions was enough to allow us to let Mato know where we needed to be for that best photo, his boat-handling skills were incredible! The next part of our journey saw us at Wilderness Lodge in the grounds of the magnificent and imposing Sao Sebastiao ranch, a huge place set miles and miles away from any other habitation. The birding immediately around the lodge was awesome, Hyacinth Macaws, Aracaris,Red legged Seriema and easily seen/photographed. One of the special targets here was Maned Wolf (think red fox on stilts!) which we managed to see on our last day along with Jaguarundi and Giant Anteater was also seen on one of the daily "safaris" around the lodges vast estate. We had many,many different bird species with the added bonus of being almost alone wherever we found ourselves. Our final base was Pouso Alegre on the Northern part of the Transpantaneira, a magical place to stay for all lovers of anything to do with natural history. If you get the chance,have a talk with the owner (Luis Campos) and you will be gobsmacked with his knowledge of wildlife in general but especially with his expertise on everything to do with snakes. If you are considering a trip to Brazil,you could NOT do better than visiting the Pantanal and I doubt if anyone knows more about the area's wildlife than Carlos and his team. Contact him and let him organise an unforgettable trip for you, you will NOT be disappointed ,you may arrive as a guest but you will leave as a FRIEND. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Uma delícia navegar pelo rio Cuiabá e ter a oportunidade de ver a fauna e a flora do pantanal. Um rio muito bonito, com um guia competente, atencioso e nascido na região. Muitos jacarés, tuiuiús e diversas outras aves.

  É perfeito para quem gosta de curtir a natureza, ver a natureza, pescar e os animais. Tudo de bom. E ainda tem varias praias onde dar para tomar sol, fazer aquele churrasco e e tomar banho de rio.

  a melhor parte é chegar lá e ser recebida por dois Quatis lindos de morre e acostumados com humanos, eles querem comer oq vc tiver em maos! kk, são mto lindos e fofinhos, tive que "lutar" com um deles por estava roubando a caneca de açucar, me apaixonei, teve tambem a apresentação dos jacares, bem legal, mas o que me encantou foi os animais que convivem com humanos numa boa, como passaros, araras, papagaios, e os quatis *-*

  Lors de nos voyages, nous privilégions l'observation du comportement animal dans son milieu naturel. Pour observer des tigres, nous sommes allés en Inde, pour les lions en Afrique et en Inde également, pour voir un ocelot au Guatemala, pour les léopards en Tanzanie et pour les panthères en Afrique du sud. Mais où aller pour avoir de bonnes opportunités d'observer des jaguars si non au Pantanal, Brésil! C'est ce que nous fîmes en octobre 2012. Après de longues et consciencieuses recherches sur la Toile, nous avons sélectionné l'agence Pantanal ecoexplorer de Cuiaba pour organiser notre séjour "A la carte". Ce fût une réussite! Carlos Grandez, le fondateur et président de l'agence ne ménage pas sa peine pour pour satisfaire au plus proche les demandes des visiteurs. Il s'entoure d'un personnel de qualité et sait choisir ses partenaires pour assurer un séjour réussi aux voyageurs. Tous, Max et Mota nos guides, comme Alonso et Ninfa les propriétaires de notre mini-hôtel flottant, originaire de la région, furent très professionnels. En 10 jours, dans la zone de la réserve Taiama, nous avons pu observer 8 jaguars, deux familles de loutres géantes, des capibaras, des caïmans à lunettes et des caïmans noirs, 70 sortes d'oiseaux nouveaux, une femelle anaconda, des iguanes et un téju doré. En tant qu'aquariophiles,voir grandeur nature les plantes aquatiques a été un enchantement ainsi que la lumière modifiant les paysages selon l'heure de la journée ou la couverture nuageuse. Que choisir de mieux que de se lever avec le soleil et de le regarder s'élever en illuminant le ciel et la rivière pendant que l'on prend sa douche et célèbre la nature par quelques postures de yoga?! Ensuite c'était le petit déjeuner puis on embarquait pour 10 heure de canot à moteur sur la rivière Paraguay, épine dorsale "serpentine" du Pantanal. Des sièges pivotants, avec dossier et assise rembourrés, fixés sur les bancs du canot, assurent un confort non négligeable à nos longues et chaudes journées. A 8h du matin il fait déjà 37 degrés! Retour au coucher du soleil, parfois de nuit sur notre petit bateau à fond plat où on enclenche une dinamo pour avoir de l'air conditionnée au coin repas et dans la cabine. Réglée à 22 elle permet de bien récupérer et de repartir en forme le lendemain matin. Si vous voulez voir des jaguars adressez-vous à Carlos Grandez, Pantanal ecoexplorer et vous serez enchanté! .
