Observation

NOTES: Please schedule an early morning flight to reach Cuiabá. The group will leave no later than 2.30 pm from Cuiabá. If your flight is delayed, you will have to pay for private transport to SWP, as it is not fair for late flights to reduce the Pantanal time of on-time guests. The return from SWP to Cuiabá is around 6.30 am, which is ideal for flights leaving Cuiabá at or after 11:00 am. Guests with later flights are welcome to relax in our air-conditioned SouthWild once and use free WIFI. The office is only a 6-min walk or 3-min drive from the airport.
