Jeeps, boats and guides
Visits should be conducted by trained guides. It’s not a good idea to travel independently, without guides and support. Pantanal demands more then just an adventurous spirit. The mutable geography of Pantanal, the scarce roads, the bad accesses, its wilderness, makes the idea of a non-guided visit highly inadvisable. To concretize the visit you will need adequate means: jeeps, boats, horses or, perhaps, balloons.
The fazendas-lodges
For a rapid visit, the surrounds of border villages or small towns as Barão do Melgaço, Poconé (in the North), or Aquidauana (in the South) are good choices.
There are, near these places, «fazendas-lodges», with good conditions, including the logistics for the around visits. The transfer from the hub city to the «fazenda-lodge» is assured by the fazendas.
