Pousada do Rio Mutum

We were delighted by the Rio Mutum, which I described as wildlife bootcamp - but in a good way.  We knew that there were to be some shared excursions included. but we had no idea that we would be offered activities both morning and afternoon (plus some mornings and evenings) of every day that we stayed there.  Everything was extremely well-organised and we saw some incredible wildlife as a result.  Excellent package.

We were surprised there was Wi-Fi available - this was an added bonus.  The staff were all excellent.

"Room basic and air con not great. However, the ambiance, setting, staff and food were wonderful. Particular thanks go to our guide, Carlo, who made our trip and especially the last day so memorable."

“Pousada do Rio Mutum, A fantastic experience in a great location, would certainly recommend guide excellent. Rooms fine. Food slightly monotonous, but we appreciate the logistical difficulties of a remote location, so didn't mind.”

Everything from the food to the activities make this an unforgettable place to stay. It's a great chance to go back to nature and enjoy rural Brazil at its very best.

"Accommodation at the Pousada do Rio Mutum was less comfortable than at the other hotels but I suspect that is in the nature of Pantanal”

CR, Wandsworth

"What a dream! The approach by a fast boat swerving over caymans is straight from a film, the resort itself is very comfortable and the wildlife literally comes to your door. The food is plentiful and is mainly the local fare (much better than 'international'). With the bonus of knowledgeable and friendly staff, this place was a highlight amongst the many we had on our long trip."

CC, Carnforth

really good guides, never lost interest for a minute.

Rio Mutum as fantastic as it was is ideally only set up for a 4 day visit. On 5th day we were (willingly) repeating trips we had done already.

IS, Crowthorne

A really wonderful hotel with the best trips in the Panatal morning and evening. Feeding caiman, piranha fishing, horse riding in the wetlands, kayaking, visiting a local village, bats at sunset were all highlights.The guides were brilliant, the variety of wildlife to see was outstanding. We loved the food , the rooms, and the peace and quiet.

Great Experience!

“The Pantanal and Pousada Rio Mutum - I've waited a long time to get to the Pantanal and was not disappointed. I loved every moment here and wished I could have stayed longer, even given the fact it is perhaps not the best time to go. The pousada itself is looking a little bit tired in terms of general standard of the rooms etc but the staff were delightful and could not have been more helpful. The grounds are beautiful and lots of animals and birds have made their homes there so you don't have to go far to at least see something!”
