Pousada Piuval
A long-established ranch lodge near the start of the Transpantaneira Highway. Horseback riding, trekking and night safaris are the easiest way to experience life on a Pantanal ranch.
Most of the Pantanal is privately owned ranch land, and staying at an eco-lodge on a fazenda (ranch) is the most typical way to travel here.
Pousada Piuval is about 10 km along the highway and easy to reach. Activities include horseback rides across the wetlands, birdwatching trails, boat trips and night spotlight tours, where capybaras, macaws and caimans are commonly seen.
Meals and activities are mostly all-inclusive, so book in advance. It makes a good first-night stop.
