Transpantaneira Gate
Portal da Transpantaneira
A wooden gate where the paved road ends and the dirt track begins. It's the classic photo stop at the entrance to the Pantanal.
The gate sits about 17 km south of Poconé and marks the start of the unpaved section of the Transpantaneira Highway. The wooden structure bears the word “Transpantaneira,” and nearly every visitor stops here for a photo.
There is a visitor information point nearby. Beyond the gate, water ponds and large numbers of birds begin to appear.
Before heading to Porto Jofre, check the road conditions here, and fill up on fuel and carry cash from Poconé.
