Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

Children love the Indiana Jones-style wildlife experience of the Pantanal, this pousada is a great place to combine adventure and relaxation (jump into the pool to cool off after the excursions). The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly.
