Itinerary for Pantaneiro Ride in the Pantanal



Sample Itinerary - subject to changes

Day 1: Arrival
After the long journey, arrival at the fazenda located in the most preserved region of the Pantanal, with abundance of wildlife and nature.  
In the afternoon, you'll get to meet the horses. You will stay the next 3 nights on this traditional Pantanal farm with approximately 16000 acres and 4000 head of cattle. On this farm will have the opportunity to become a Pantaneiro for one or two days.
Meals included: Dinner
Overnight at Fazenda Baia


Day 2: Pantaneiro Cattle Work
You will be included in the real work of the farm, a true life experience. Expect the unexpected because at each time of the year there are different tasks to be carried out in the daily routine of a Pantaneiro cowboy: pulling calves apart, curing cattle, lassoing, rounding up the cattle, changing the wintering or farm cattle as in a cattle move.    
At the end of the day, you will need to rest in order to keep up with the heavy workload of the next day so you will have good accommodation and good food.
Riding approx. 6 hours
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Fazenda Baia


Day 3: Pantaneiro Cattle Work
As you help with cattle work, you will have the opportunity to see many of the countless species of birds and animals that inhabit this region and will be experiencing the legitimate Pantanal traditions. In the Pantanal, the pace of activities is dictated by nature, which does not prevent livestock from observing all the necessary managements that over time have been adjusted to be carried out in harmony with the energy balance and sustainability of the region. 
Riding approx. 6 hours
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Fazenda Baia


Day 4: Ride to Refuge Primavera
This morning, you leave early for a full day in the saddle, riding along the banks of Vazante Castelo. Ride until you reach the Fly Camp Refuge Primavera, which as the name implies, is a wooden bush camp in the middle of the Pantanal. 
Tonight, you will have a unique experience sleeping in a hammock* with lighting lanterns. The Refuge has comfortable infrastructures: screens to protect against insects, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen.
* it is very nice to sleep in hammocks under a fixed roof, for those who don’t like it, we can provide a mattress (let us know at time of booking) 
Riding approx. 6 hours
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Refuge Primavera


Day 5: Refuge Primavera to Fazenda Eldorado
You will wake up with the sounds of the birds in the trees around the Refuge. After an early breakfast, depart to Fazenda Eldorado. You will ride across the beautiful Pantanal landscape, where will enjoy the lush flora and varied fauna. Great opportunity for bird and wildlife watching.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Fazenda Eldorado


Days 6 & 7: Cattle Farm
To bring to a perfect end to this great experience, your last 2 days will be spent in a large breeding farm with thousands of cattle. On this farm you may have the rare opportunity to witness the morning fishing of a giant otter family as dawn breaks, observe the ritual of alligator mating and, with luck and patience, to look into the eyes of the biggest cat of the Americas: the jaguar.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at cattle farm


Day 8: Departure
