Pixaim River
Rio Pixaim
A small river along the middle stretch of the Transpantaneira Highway, where boat trips and canoe outings reveal giant otters, kingfishers and caimans. Lodges cluster along its banks.
The Pixaim River crosses the Transpantaneira Highway about 65 km in. A group of long-established lodges by the bridge makes it a base for overnight stays along the middle of the road.
Take a small boat or paddle a canoe along the river to spot giant otter families, several species of kingfisher, snail kites and caimans. In the evening, flocks of parrots fly home to roost. Night drives with spotlights may reveal giant anteaters, foxes and even oncillas.
Plan on 1–2 nights here, and combine it with a visit to Porto Jofre.
