2 Days and 1 Night Pantanal Eco Tour from Cuiabá

ALEX GOMEZ our guide was the best one you could imagine He explained everything to us partly in English and German! Our requests were also implemented spontaneously! Unfortunately, the tour is very, very expensive and therefore there is unfortunately a point deduction. In the Amazon, we paid a third and experienced something similar!

We were met at the airport by our guide, Alex and company owner Igor, and got oriented during an excellent luncheon at a Brazilian steakhouse. we were escorted by a driver and our Guide to our lodging and stopped along the way viewing wildlife. Lodging at Juival and Rio Claro was excellent . We did both vehicle based game drives and small boat viewing of birds and animals. Our guide Alex was very pleasant and knowledgeable, and made every effort to show us the animals we wanted to target. No complaints or negatives to this tour!

Fantastic tour and experience from the time of booking to the end of the tour. Lots of animals and activities! Thank you Alex, Igor and Juju! We will definitely be back!

This is a compact yet very well arranged tour, perfect for those who want to see much of the Pantanal in a short time. I saw a lot of birds, jaguar footprints, tapirs, giant otters and kaymen, to mention a few animals. The guide Alex and driver Juju made it a pmeasure!

The pairing of Igor the guide and JoJo the driver was amazing! Despite the lack of Japanese speakers, Igor's proficient Japanese and his wealth of knowledge allowed me to experience the depth of the Pantanal! We also met an unexpected jaguar 🐆, and we just had a great two days!

10 / 10 amazing experience coordinating with Igor. 10 / 10 immense knowledge from the biologist himself Alex. 10 / 10 felt safe being lead and driven by Juju. All around great experience the compound was great as well very clean and nice. Shout out to the cooks and kitchen staff because the food was delicious 😋😋😋 I would recommend always!!!

A short introduction into the Pantanal region with a chance to see some of the wildlife of the region and appreciate the landscape. The Pousada was lovely and although only a short journey away, the guides took me out on regular trips to see the surrounding area.

We booked the 2 Days 1 Night Pantanal Eco Tour from Cuiabá with Gasparetours and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the team’s communication was excellent and they arranged a smooth hotel pick up for us. At the start of our journey, we had the pleasure of meeting three members of their team: Igor, Alessandra (our guide), and Juju (our driver). All of them were warm, welcoming, and professional, instantly making us feel at ease. We were especially fortunate to have a private tour, which allowed us to fully appreciate the knowledge and dedication of our guide Alessandra. She is truly outstanding. Not only does she speak four languages fluently, but she also has an extraordinary depth of knowledge about the Pantanal’s flora, fauna, geology, and history. With her background in geology, she provided fascinating insights into the region’s terrain and even the ongoing gold mining that still takes place in the area. Her passion and ability to explain complex topics in an engaging way enriched every moment of our tour. The drive to the Rio Claro Lodge was comfortable and included a quick stop to pick up snacks and water. The lodge itself was wonderful with spacious, clean rooms complete with air conditioning and private bathrooms, providing a comfortable base in the middle of nature. The surrounding wildlife was remarkable; from capybaras and capuchin monkeys to caimans and vibrant hyacinth macaws, it felt like the Pantanal came alive right outside our doorstep. During our stay, we joined guided excursions with local lodge guides alongside Alessandra. While we unfortunately did not get the chance to do the night safari, we still enjoyed a fantastic nature walk where we learned so much about the environment and spotted wildlife such as a red footed tortoise and some peccaries. Back at the lodge, one of our favorite activities was going out at night with a torch for some informal spotlighting. Seeing caiman, capybaras, and amphibians in their natural nocturnal state was unforgettable (though caution is definitely advised around the water’s edge as some of those caiman are huge and impressively quick). The following morning, we set off on a boat tour along the Pantanal river, which was another highlight. The birdlife is simply extraordinary; toucans were a standout, and to our amazement, we even spotted an ocelot, which was a rare and thrilling encounter. While jaguars and other iconic species like giant river otters, anteaters, and tapirs are more commonly seen further south toward Porto Jofre, the variety of wildlife we encountered was still incredible. If you love birds, the Pantanal is truly paradise. It is worth mentioning that tourism in the Pantanal does come at a price and can be quite expensive compared to other destinations in Brazil. However, the richness of the experience, the level of expertise from guides like Alessandra, and the chance to witness such extraordinary wildlife in its natural habitat make every penny worthwhile. Alessandra deserves special recognition as she is an exceptional guide and a real asset to Gasparetours. Beyond her expertise, she is wonderfully friendly, chatty, and attentive, always going the extra mile to share not just information about the wildlife, but also about local culture, daily life, and even food. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she made our entire trip feel personal and memorable. A particular highlight was trying our hand at fishing, where we managed to catch our very first yellow bellied piranha, which was a fun and unique experience. Overall, this tour far exceeded our expectations. The Pantanal is a magical place and Gasparetours provided us with an experience we will never forget. We left feeling inspired, grateful, and already eager to return for a longer stay in hopes of spotting more of the region’s incredible wildlife, including the elusive jaguar. We cannot recommend Gasparetours and especially Alessandra highly enough. If you are considering exploring the Pantanal, this is the team to do it with.

Indescribable tour. We saw 6 ounces with 8 sightings, safe tour, pilot and guide Igor, excellent, the guide delivered more than promised, much requested. Everyone should go through this unique experience in the MT pantanal. I highly recommend this tour, exceptional!

Great experience, wonderful environment, exciting animals, exceeding the expected trip. Activities are tightly scheduled, not very tired and have time to experience the environment. The quality of the accommodation and food was excellent, especially the setting was memorable. The guides and drivers are warm, experienced and familiar with local animals. The overall very memorable experience.
