Booking
The 12-day tour, as described, can be undertaken by anyone who can comfortably complete an afternoon’s walk in the countryside. As such, it is not suitable for wheelchair access, babies or toddlers. Please use your discretion, but five years old should be considered the minimum age
The total cost of the 12-day tour is US$6840 (there is no VAT) per person; PLUS the return flight from your home country to Brazil (Rio de Janeiro international airport); and an Internal Air Pass, which should be purchased, with your return flight, from your travel agent
This price includes all hotels, overland travelling, your tour coordinator and guide expenses, entrance fees, entertainment, taxes, and most meals. Other than where personal exploration has been included and specified in the itinerary, and you are at liberty to choose your own restaurant, there are NO surprise extra costs at any point in the tour
It does NOT include personal expenditure while there; like souvenirs, drinks, impromptu meals and snacks; and hotel courtesy facilities i.e. telephone calls, laundry, your room’s mini-bar, and other optional services
At the end of each stage of the tour, you will be expected to settle your own personal courtesy bill (if any) with the hotel. Everything else will have been settled in advance
Gratuities to drivers, guides, waiters and your tour coordinator are not expected, and are at your own discretion
By law, all activities in the Pantanal have limited access, to prevent damage to the environment. Because of this, there will be a minimum of two, and a maximum of ten people per tour; creating a small, friendly and manageable group, in any two-week period
To book, please contact the travel agent who directed you to this online brochure, and who will make all the arrangements for you
If you came to this website directly, please contact us, and we will put you in touch with your nearest Approved Travel Agent who is familiar with the tour, will answer your questions, and organise your details
Alternatively, go straight to our list of Approved Travel Agents
They will request a minimum deposit of US$2800 per person, which will guarantee your place on your chosen tour dates (unless it states 'FULLY BOOKED' opposite)
Upon notification of full payment from your travel agent, which will be required no later than 10 weeks before departure, we will send final instructions to them. These will include confirmed details of your itinerary, your hotels, and your contact arrangements; as well as any additional relevant information for them to pass on to you. Your travel agent will also answer any further questions, supply up to date travelling information, and finalise your flight arrangements
Please note that it is a legal requirement of this tour that you have adequate travel insurance for the duration of your round trip; and that proof of this will be requested by your travel agent when booking
