**Day 1: Cuiaba > Pantanal**
On arrival you will be met at the airport for a shared transfer to Pantanal lowlands. Along the way, enjoy sightings of the area’s unique flora and fauna. In the late afternoon, take a guided hike to a 12-metre observation tower for a spectacular sunset view. After dinner, there will be a walk to experience the night sky, soak in the sounds of the nocturnal environment, and spot some nighttime wildlife.
**Day 2: Pantanal**
After breakfast, join your guide on a 2-3 hour photo safari led by your guide in a specially adapted open vehicle. This tour takes you to more remote areas, and the elevated height of the vehicle provides an excellent vantage point for observing the diverse wildlife along the Pantanal roads and the Transpantaneira crossway. During the safari, you will have the chance to admire the unique vegetation and spot a wide variety of animals. Following the safari, enjoy a canoe tour to observe aquatic wildlife, birds, and local flora, with the possibility of piranha fishing. During the dry season, lunch will be served by the river; in the wet season, lunch will be at the lodge. In the afternoon, take a hike to the 25-metre-high Howler Monkey Tower to enjoy a stunning sunset view.
**Day 3: Pantanal**
Hike the Rondon Trail to the 12-meter high Tuiuiu Tower for sweeping views. Return to the lodge for lunch, followed by a horseback riding excursion—the most traditional way to explore the Pantanal. This ride allows access to remote areas where you can observe the unique harmony between cattle and the local wildlife. After dinner, gather around the fire for an engaging lecture or slide presentation.
**Day 4: Pantanal**
Today you will enjoy a photo safari along the Transpantaneira crossway, capturing the incredible wildlife of the Pantanal . Return to Araras Lodge for lunch, followed by a guided hike along the scenic Ronco Trail.
