Birdwatching in Pantanal
Your unforgettable journey begins with a warm welcome from our friendly Pantanal Safaris guide at Cuiabá Airport. As you drive to Poconé in Mato Grosso along the Transpantaneira Highway, you’ll witness the breathtaking beauty of the Pantanal. This vast plain, covering an area equal to half the size of France, teems with diverse flora and fauna, making it a birdwatcher’s paradise. Unlike the dense canopy of the Amazon, the Pantanal’s clear forest cover provides better opportunities for observing and photographing birds against a stunning backdrop. For the best time to spot a wide range of bird species, the most knowledgeable guests visit between July and September. Marvel at magnificent hyacinth macaws, spot greater rheas wandering through Pousada Alegre lodge’s lawns, and encounter the striking bare-faced curassow.
Along The Scenic Transpantaneira Highway
During your Pantanal birdwatching tour, you’ll explore various habitats on foot and by car. Located forty kilometers beyond Poconé, the welcoming Pousada Alegre lodge stands out as one of the world’s premier birdwatching areas. Its stellar reputation is due to easy access to multiple ecosystems, including wetlands, wooded pastures, rivers, gallery forests, and dry scrublands. Prepare to add an impressive list of species to your observations, including the chestnut-bellied guan, up to four ibis species, the large southern screamer, and the majestic jabiru. As you explore, you may also encounter the white woodpecker, gray-crested cacholote, great rufous woodcreeper, Mato Grosso antbird, white-lored spinetail, and red-crested cardinal thriving in their natural habitat.
Accommodations on a Pantanal Birdwatching Tour
During your tour, you’ll rest in comfortable rooms equipped with air conditioning and fans.

From early morning walks to spotlighting after-dark drives, you’ll witness the full spectrum of Pantanal life.
