We stayed for 4 wonderful days with our two small boys aged 4 and 6. We had some worries before we arrived re the mossies and activities but it is the highlight of our 5 week trip. Its far removed from a European world and wild (capybara are lovely to see around the site and its totally different) but Elder... More

Pros of Pousada Do Rio Rutum: + The location. Absolutely stunning with capybara, jiburu storks and caymen found all about the resort. + The staff. Elder, the manager, was so kind. When discovering it was our honeymoon he put champagne in our room. Flavio our guide was fantastic with eyes like a hawk, making our excursions amazing and we even... More

We travelled to Rio do Mutum with a 3year old and it was both a relaxed and adventurous experience. The travel pack with information about Mutum was clear and helped us to prepare our little girl for the trip. The hospitality was excellent, catering was broad enough to cater for adults and children (we weren't the only guests travelling with... More

I feel really terrible to not be more positive about this experience as the people who look after you here are lovely. But we found the accommodation to be more basic than we expected and we could find no respite from the mosquitos despite smothering ourselves in repellent. When we arrived and went into our room, it was just full... More

I highly recommend visiting the Pantanal area as soon as possible, i.e. before it becomes even better known! The Pousada do Rio Mutum is a wonderful base to explore the highlights of this enormous area, and the 4 nights and 3 days package chosen worked out perfectly. The entire reservation process direct with the Pousada's central office in Cuiabá was... More

We spent four nights at Rio Mutum and it was certainly one of the best lodges we have stayed at. The accommodation is excellent, with efficient air conditioning, reliable power supply and good quality bathroom. The lodge facilities are very good and very well maintained, with the pool being an extremely welcome amenity between morning and afternoon excursions. The restaurant... More

Connection from the airport is very good. The staff really cares about you having a good experience. They group you with people who speak your language, but will let you join other groups for any activity you're interested in. The room was a little cell-ish, dark though sufficient, the A/C wonderfully effective (though loud), and there's just no way to... More

Great place with the star attractions being the staff, the larger than life guide Gianni, the varied program of activities in the Pantanal, the pool to cool off in and the extraordinary array of wildlife. We took the 3 day package which was the right length for us, birdwatching (over 70 species), wildlife watching: monkeys, giant otters, caimans, capybaras, tapir,... More

We loved our time in the Pantanal. Great lodge in the middle of nowhere is what you are here for. Comfortable rooms, great food, and lots of activities. Our 3 day stay was plenty of time to enjoy the surrounding sights. Most of the touring is in the morning and evenings to avoid the mid day heat allowing you to... More
