Package Details
Journey deep into the untouched wilderness of Mato Grosso, where towering forests, crystalline rivers, and abundant wildlife shape a landscape that feels both ancient and alive. Here, the Amazon, the cerrado, and hidden river sanctuaries meet, creating a rare mosaic of ecosystems found nowhere else in Brazil. This escape is crafted for travelers seeking serenity, raw nature, and immersive experiences guided by the rhythm of the forest.
What You Should Know About the Region
Mato Grosso is home to some of Brazil’s most pristine natural treasures, including the world-renowned Cristalino region, the northern Pantanal, and vast protected reserves.
In the Cristalino area, transparent rivers run beneath towering canopies, offering ideal conditions for canoeing, birdwatching, and quiet contemplation. The region is a sanctuary for endemic species, making it a paradise for wildlife lovers and photographers.
To the south, the Pantanal Mato-Grossense reveals sweeping wetlands rich in biodiversity — from hyacinth macaws and giant otters to jaguars and capybaras freely roaming the open plains.
The combination of rainforest density, river clarity, and vast ecological corridors creates an environment where every trail, tower, or boat ride becomes a moment of discovery.
Together, these landscapes deliver a profound connection to nature — raw, silent, and breathtaking.
Local Cuisine
The cuisine of Mato Grosso reflects the fusion of Amazonian ingredients, Indigenous traditions, and rustic countryside flavors. Expect dishes featuring freshwater fish such as tambaqui, pacu, and pintado, often grilled or cooked in rich, aromatic broths.
Meals commonly include cassava in many forms, nut-based sauces, regional vegetables, and fruits like cupuaçu and pequi. In eco-lodges and forest retreats, menus highlight local produce and sustainable ingredients, delivering meals that are flavorful, comforting, and deeply rooted in the region’s identity.
