The place is magical. Very friendly staff, amazing food, great pool area, and the bed was so comfortable. We booked a private English guide because all the trips are done with people that work for the pousada and they don't speak English.

If you don't have an English speaking guide (and don't speak Portuguese) then you will miss a lot of information about animals and spot less

Our stay at Pousada Aguape was exceptional. They arranged a transfer from Campo Grande bus station to the property and upon arrival we were immediately greeted by Hyacinth Macaws, Blue-and-Yellow Macaws, several other parrot species and dozens of ibis and armadillos. The property is alive with wildlife! The staff welcomed us and showed us to our basic but beautiful room. All of the food was delicious - the catering team really know what they are doing! And, although we stayed for five days the food was always varied and different. Excursions were well organised and very enjoyable. We were there with the aim of observing and photographing wildlife so requested to be on as many safaris as possible rather than some of the other activities available (horse riding etc.). This request was no trouble for them and they happily modified their schedule to give us exactly the experience we wanted. Because of our long stay they also gave us two night safaris included in the price. We also arranged a couple of additional private excursions for bird watching and a night safari - both of which were very reasonably priced. The quality of guiding was good - in particular Fabiano, who we went out with privately, was exceptional, despite speaking limited English he communicated almost perfectly and seemed to have an almost supernatural skill at spotting wildlife (coming from an experienced professional field ecologist!). During our trips we saw countless Capybara and Caiman, seven Giant Anteaters, a Tamandua, two Tapir, deer, Capuchin and Howler monkeys, foxes, coati and even am Ocelot! Pousada Aguape was one of the best wildlife experiences I've ever had. The price is exceptionally reasonable for the Pantanal too. I highly recommend a visit!

This is the most amazing place I have ever stayed. The location is absolutely astounding with so much wildlife to see in the hotel grounds. The excursions are well organised and very personal (we were pretty the only people on all of our trips). The guides really make an effort to show you the best of the Pantanal and all of the animals. The hotel facilities are also fantastic. The pool is very nice and well maintained. The rooms are luxuriously appointed and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The food in the hotel was delicious at breakfast, lunch and dinner - real home cooked Brazilian food. We liked the self serve bar concept too, it made things more relaxed. Finally, the staff are the key highlight. The woman on front reception spoke impeccable English and was so helpful and kind (including sorting our transfers). Then staff serving food were so friendly and made us laugh watching them play with the armadillos. The tour guides were relaxed, friendly and informative and really made the trips special. I can’t recommend this place enough.

We had a wonderful time at the Pousada, we stayed for 3 days and got to do all the tours they offer. The food served was each time different and very delicious. In between the tours we were able to relax by the pool and over all just had a great, relaxing stay.

Great contact to nature, spotted several animals, nice tours, great food, nice pool and the room was perfect.

Guides and staff are poorly prepared fpr international guests and rely on external translators, while mpst visitors are not Brazilians.

beautiful area surrounded by animals (birds, Amarillo, horses…). the activities planned everyday are a great way to discover the fauna and flora. typically, there is one activity at 7:00 am for 2 hours and a second one at 4:00 pm. Pool area very enjoyable. very nice people managing and working at the Pousada. 2 nights on site is a must.

more a recommendation. Itwould be great to have the guides to give the names of animals, plants in English.

Like living in a nature reserve! Our stay at the Pousada Aguape was marvelous. Upon arrival, you’re immersed in the wild with Araras and Toucans flying above, armadillos scuttling along the ground and Capibaras basking in the sun. Each day features two tours that have you riding on horseback through the wetland forest, kayaking with Caymans or fishing Piranhas from a lake. The excursions are well organized yet never feel overly touristic. The food is fantastic and the rich, wholesome cooking make you feel like a Brazilian mom is preparing your favorite dishes. The staff is most kind and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean. Only advice: bring long, light clothes and mosquito spray - in certain areas they’ll eat you alive. Overall, we can wholeheartedly recommend this experience here!

The facility was beautiful and the staff attentive. The large property has several cabins in small clusters, so it feels private. Our room was for 3 people and it was good size, very cute and had AC (essential with the heat of Pantanal). The property has so many birds such as macaws, parrots, toucans, etc and the horses are nearby. The prices included 3 meals per day (drinks excluded) and two adventures per day. The food was truly delicious and one night we even had a traditional Brazilian churrasco and live local music. They had choice of red meat, chicken or fish at most meals. The “adventures” typically were twice per day (except one day you also do the nighttime safari as a third one) which typically are one in the early morning and the second one in the afternoon to avoid the heat. These varied and we did horseback riding, piranha fishing, hiking, kayaking and boat ride among other things. Staff were super attentive. I arranged with the staff via whatsapp so they could set transportation from and back to Campo Grande, which is the nearest large airport

We went during the rainy season, which can limit you a little and it is very hot and humid during that time of year. However, as mentioned the rooms have AC and they tried to arrange the adventures at less hot times. The location is 3 hours from Campo Grande, but the roads were in good shape.

Everything: the room was large enough, the bathroom was nice, the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent with products from the farm, the activities were great, the staff was super nice, and the birds wildlife was au rendez-vous!
