Northern Pantanal & Chapada dos Guimarães, Brazil

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Northern Pantanal, centred around the town of Cuiabá in Mato Grosso state, is widely regarded as the world's largest tropical wetland and one of the best places on Earth for wildlife spotting — jaguars, giant otters, capybaras, caimans, and hundreds of bird species thrive in its seasonally flooded plains. Just a short drive away, Chapada dos Guimarães is a dramatic sandstone plateau rising above the surrounding lowlands, known for its waterfalls, canyon viewpoints, caves, and ancient rock art. Together, these two destinations attract nature lovers, wildlife photographers, and adventure travellers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences in Brazil's wild interior. The combination of Pantanal safari-style boat and jeep tours with Chapada's hiking and trekking trails makes this region one of the country's most rewarding and underexplored circuits.

Northern Pantanal & Chapada dos Guimarães — Self-Launched Roundtrip

A self-launched version of ETours Brazil's 8-day Northern Pantanal roundtrip: Chapada dos Guimarães table mountains and waterfalls, snorkelling in the crystal springs around Nobres/Bom Jardim, then the Transpantaneira dirt road down to Porto Jofre for jaguar boat safaris. Instead of a private guided vehicle you piece it together with shared transfers, local pousada-run excursions and public/private bus legs — and you still end up on the same rivers. Costs are rough backpacker estimates; the jaguar boats out of Porto Jofre are the one genuinely expensive bit and are best booked directly with a lodge.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Northern Pantanal & Chapada dos Guimarães, Brazil yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
