A wonderful way to experience a unique environment - nice facilities, good food, and wonderful guides. There is an abundance of wildlife and wonderful scenery that is easily accessible by boat and on horse back. Don't miss the fabulous and colorful sunrises and sunsets reflected on the water.....we came away with terrific pictures. More

I just want make sure to add the information that the closest airport to Pousada Rio Mutum Pantanal Lodge is in CUIABA-MT NOT Campo Grande MS. Cuiaba city is the capital of the state of Mato Grosso. Pantanal is a really big area and it is important to arrive at the right airport to get to Pousada do Rio Mutum... More

Really enjoyed our time in Rio Mutum. We spent 4 days there having wonderful excursion in a fantastic place with plenty of birds and other animals. The staff is very kind and the rooms are comfortable with air conditioning and are cleaned every day. The location is great and easy to go with horses or with a small boat on... More

Located in the heart of the Pantanal, 3 hrs drive from Cuiaba, Pousada Rio Mutum exceeds expectations by a considerable margin. Located in its own grounds with swimming pool, restaurant/bar and many mature trees on the edge of the wetlands. At first sight somewhat care worn with rather basic but comfortable cabin accommodation; first impressions are swept aside by an... More

Our visit was at the end of the dry season, a good time to spot wildlife. The Pousada is a 2h30m drive from Cuiaba , and you are met by a guide at the airport.Our journey there was in a very uncomfortable pick-up truck, but we left in a much more comfortable minibus. Our room was one in a block... More

Though not birders ourselves, we were delighted by the exotic and numerous birds we saw, including egrets, herons, storks, kingfishers, and many more. Alligators kept... More

We spent four nights as part of our Brazilian honeymoon. We did this rather than the Amazon and had no regrets. It was dry season and hot sunny weather. Carlo was our guide and just looked after the two of us. He was very charismatic and had a detailed knowledge of the wildlife, particularly the birds. He helped us label... More

If you truly love wildlife and were considering going to the Amazon in Brazil, I highly recommend you consider the Patanal as an alternative. It was the highlight of my trip to Brazil. The accommodations are basic but comfortable, and the food was simple and delicious. I went during dry season when the Pink Trumpet trees were in Blossom. This... More

My husband and I visited Pousada Do Rio Mutum as part of a three week trip to Brazil earlier this year. We visited in the middle of the wet season and so may have a different experience to other who have visited when it was dry. The journey to the pousada was great - like a mini adventure in itself....
