We have meticulously selected every tour and adventure to make sure that this will not just become another trip but the experience of a lifetime.
Here below is the itinerary. The information is indicative and may have variations on designated tours.

Day
Arrival at Cuiba Airport. Reception and regular transfer to the Hotel. Accommodation. Situated in the heart of Brazilian cattle country, Cuiabá is a pleasant, modern city that serves as the capital of Brazil’s Mato Grosso State. While many visitors use the city as merely a jumping-off point for the wetlands of the Northern Pantanal and the magnificent Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, those who linger will find a collection of exciting sites and activities to keep them blissfully engaged. The city boasts three impressive shopping centres, some tempting cafes and restaurants, a vibrant party scene, as well as an attractive downtown area complete with excellent live music and colourful street stalls. Don’t miss the tree-lined central square, which features some remarkable colonial architecture and the stylishly modern Cathedral of Bom Jesus with its fantastic Art Deco features and intricate stained glass.
Breakfast at the hotel, check out and land transfer to Pantanal. Once in Pantanal lodge: Up to three activities are offered per day during your stay: one early in the morning, one in the afternoon and one after dinner. Groups have a maximum number of 10 guests, excursions last three to four hours and are always conducted by an expert guide. For maximum security, all activities are monitored via radio. Lunch and dinner served at the lodge
Brekfast, lunch and dinner served at the lodge.
Activities will be defined according to the length of stay and weather. Some examples:
TREKKING ALONG THE PANTANAL TRAILS is the excursion providing the closest contact with the environment, while reinforcing the ecological focus of your activity. The walks have their duration determined in accordance with the group’s possibilities and focus upon the observation of fauna and flora across woods, savannas, fields and swamps, with the purpose of presenting the eco-system’s diversity.
 CANOEING: offers the discovery of the riverside forest in absolute silence for greater integration. It doesn’t require much physical effort, for it is carried out in areas without much current. 
 NIGHT WALK: favors the adaptation to the environment and the observation of nocturnal animals, a closer contact with the sounds of the night and the observation of the stars and other celestial bodies.
Brekfast, lunch and dinner served at the lodge.
Activities will be defined according to the length of stay and weather. Some examples:
 PHOTO SAFARI: in open vehicles especially adapted, this excursion gives access to the more distant sites and - because of the vehicle’s height - it facilitates the observation of fauna along the roads of Pantanal and the Transpantaneira crossway. 
 HORSEBACK RIDING: is the most traditional way of becoming acquainted with Pantanal. Visitors are given the chance of exploring areas of difficult access, where it is common to witness the harmonious convivial between cattle and the wild fauna. 
 NIGHT TOUR WITH SEARCH LIGHT: offers the opportunity to watch animals of nocturnal habits. The highlight is when caimans are sighted, which eyes produce a red reflection, like a distant city
Breafast at the lodge, check out and transfer to Cuiabá airport.
Upon arrival at Alta Floresta airport (fligh not included),  there is a transfer by car, followed by a lovely boat trip on the Cristalino river.
Arrival and dinner
Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lodge.
The Cristalino Lodge offers a wide range of outdoor activities, that will be defined according to the length of stay and weather. Some examples:
 FAUNA AND FLORA OBSERVATION In this region, several flagship species of Brazilian fauna and flora can be found, such as: harpy eagle, giant river otter, whitewhiskered-spider monkey, collared peccary, white-nosed-saki, redhanded howler monkey, crimson-bellied parakeet, black-girdled barbet, curl-crested aracari, brazil-nut tree, mahogany and maripa palm. This area has been highlighted by the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment as a priority for conservation.
 OBSERVATION TOWERS For a truly unique experience of the Amazon rainforest, a visit to the observation towers cannot be missed. Soaring to a height of 50-meters (164-feet), with platforms at various different heights, the towers provide panoramic views of the reserve, with the vast forest canopy stretching out like a blanket of green at one’s feet.
 SIERRA TRAILS With no less than six different types of vegetation, a visit to Cristalino Lodge allows for a deep understanding of the Amazon in a single place. One of them is a visit to the Cristalino hills, about 450 meters above sea level, with vegetation that loses its leaves during the dry season, in a rich and unique ecosystem. The view is a must!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lodge.
The Cristalino Lodge offers a wide range of outdoor activities, that will be defined according to the length of stay and weather. Some examples:
 CANOEING Since canoeing is a quiet, peaceful activity, it frequently provides excellent opportunities to observe birds and monkeys along the river banks. It is always a good idea to head down river, going with the current and enjoying the different scenery. The Cristalino reserves protect a very large area, so you can use the solitude to connect with the beauty of the location
 FOREST TRAILS Cristalino Lodge has more than 30 km of trails, many of them in Terra Firme forest, an ecosystem that originated thousands of years ago and is home to ancient trees. Its leaves are always green and the different walks allow visitors to learn more about its riches, including the observation of monkeys, birds, landscapes and curiosities of the forest.
 BIRDWATCHING Cristalino Lodge has always received lovers of birdwatching, a fascinating activity that brings a deep connection with preserved places. With almost 600 cataloged species, the Cristalino reserves have dozens of endemic birds. Some were described for the first time to science within the Cristalino reserve. The hotel has specialized trails for birdwatching, providing an immersion in the Amazon and, of course, many species to see.
Check out and transfer to Alta Floresta airport to catch the flight (not included) to Fortaleza.
Arrival at Fortaleza airport and transfer to the hotel. 
The growing appeal of the sprawling capital of the northeastern state of Ceará can be attributed to its thriving economy, sunny beaches, a colourful and safe nightlife, delicious local fare, and rich and engaging Brazilian culture. Despite being the smallest state in the country, Ceará has one of the longest coastlines, with Fortaleza providing a number of urban beaches for tourists to enjoy. Sightseeing includes the Centro de Turismo, an atmospheric, converted 19th-century jail housing a museum that showcases the best of Ceará arts and craft, and the impressive Centro Dragão do Mar de Arte e Cultura, a complex offering two museums, a planetarium, quaint cafés, and performance areas.‬‬
Transfer from Fortaleza to Fortim village. Time to relax and enjoy hotel facilities. Located in northeastern Brazil, with its mountainous interior and a famous coastline, the state of Ceara has seen an incredible tourist boom in the last twenty years. Its fast-paced capital, Fortaleza, is replete with museums and art galleries, but is best known for its vibrant nightlife and excellent beaches framed by dramatic red cliffs. The city is positioned roughly in the centre of a sublime 600 kilometre coastline, which boasts many stunning places to visit. Chief among these is the isolated beach town of Jericoacoara, which provides access to an impressive beach; Cumbuco, an idyllic fishing village and major kitesurfing destination; and Canoa Quebrada, a beach village (and former hippie paradise) built into surrounding sandstone cliffs.
Enjoy sunny days on this amazing spot of Ceara. It is time to relax and enjoy cristal clear water beaches. You can explore the beaches by buggy, boat or either on a horseback ride.
Surrounded by the ocean and sand dunes in the picturesque fishing village of Pontal de Maceió, Hotel Vila Selvagem is a true haven of luxury and well-being by the sea. The 28 accommodations are surrounded by an imposing and well-kept garden and two majestic swimming pools.
