So, do you want to go? Make your reservation, then, also checking the best transportation option. The lodge is in the rural parts of the town of Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. There are periods when you can only get there by plane, in small aircrafts that land on the lodge's own landing strip. When ground access is possible, it always requires 4x4 vehicles. Here are some more details on these variations:

APRIL THRU JUNE: Ebb Season
The waters are clear, so it is possible to see underwater life. It is a great time for fishing. Both air and ground access are possible.

JULY THRU NOVEMBER: Dry Season
The fields left behind by the flood, once swept by the ebb, show a renewed Pantanal, with fresh plants and new aromas. the river beds show small beaches that can be used and wildlife is seen more often. It is possible to get to the lodge by airplane or 4x4 vehicles.

DECEMBER THRU MARCH: Flood Season
Vazante do Castelo (Castle's Ebb), Rio Negro (Black River), the bays and the saline waters surround the lodge, turning it into an island. Having water everywhere brings remarkable sights, making each sun rise and sunset a show in itself. The wildlife is usually watched from horses, boats or canoes. For those who like to fish, this is an unmatchable experience. Book air transportation, because there is no way even the best 4x4 vehicles will make it to the lodge.
