Nice resort 3 km from the Transpantaneira road and next to the tranquil Rio Claro river. Consists of bungalows in a garden which is full of exotic birds from the surrounding Pantanal. All 3 meals and one 2-hour excursion per day were included in our stay. There is a choice between 5 excursions (afternoon safari and night safari with an open car, sunrise kayak on the Rio Claro river, motorboat excursion on the river and horse riding). We particularly liked the river activities, with beautiful landscapes. Before dinner, a hotel employee played the guitar and sang brazilian songs in the restaurant. He did it probably for fun, but we liked to listen with a Caipirinha. They provide an airport shuttle, but we took a rental car at Cuiabá airport, which is cheaper and most importantly gives the freedom to do one's own excusion down the Transpantaneira.

It is better to know some Portuguese for communicating with the hotel staff, organizing excursions etc. Cleanliness in the rooms was not perfect; our pillows were quite dirty. It should be easy to improve that, so please make an effort.
