While some areas are still seeing rainfall, the water level of the Rio Paraguai is gradually dropping – signaling the start of the high season in the Pantanal. And we couldn’t be more excited. 2025 will be a milestone for us: it’s our first full high season, and we’re launching tours that take you to places few tourists have ever seen.

Our new travel modules – “Rhythm of the Pantanal” and “Springs of the Pantanal” – lead you along unique routes into little-known areas such as the Serra das Araras and the West-Pantanal, where international travelers are still a rare sight. While tens of thousands of tourists drive the Transpantaneira each year, much of Mato Grosso remains unexplored, often because visitors are taken straight from the airport to lodges on the Transpantaneira.

It’s common for locals to be surprised when they hear that around 90,000 international guests visit the Pantanal annually – and yet most remain invisible to the wider region. That’s about to change.

Our local partners are eagerly awaiting the season. For the cowboys on remote cattle farms, international guests are a welcome break from daily routines. The Balatiponé Umutina people, who are passionately developing an authentic cultural tourism project, hope to finally welcome more visitors to share their traditions.

And in Cáceres, whether it’s taxi drivers, restaurant owners, or hoteliers – we’re all working together to grow tourism in the region and help the world discover the beauty and hospitality of Mato Grosso.

Long story short: We’re ready and excited to welcome you to the Pantanal! 😊
