1. In the early morning, it is observed the spectacle of the awakening on nature with some walks through the many mound-hills (portion of non-flooded land that concentrate large number of mammals among many birds’ nests. This silent activity allows the observation/ photography of a large number of monkeys, capybaras and other rodents, as well as many birds’ nests (Jabiru storks, Hyacinth Macaw, etc.) and, with luck, the Giant Anteater on the fields or the Tapir in the forests. In the morning, there is a walking on the trails through the mound-hills where there are nests of birds such as Jabiru storks and the Hyacinth Macaw together with primates and rodents such as the Howler or Capuchin Monkeys and the Agouti or Capybaras. In the afternoon is done an overland safari through dense forests, which is the newest Jaguar habitat in the North Pantanal to a beautiful lake at the Bento Gomes river. Bordered by dense forests and large fields, a nesting site can be seen from the top of the canopy tower in the bottom of what is done a brief walking. Return at the dusk using equipment as a flashlight for highlighting nocturnal fauna, with the chance to observe Crab-eating Foxes, Deer, many Caiman’s eyes and, with a bit of luck, Ocelots or Jaguars!
