Pouso Alegre, located in Poconé, Northern Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil, is a traditional Pantanal's cattle farm with 8.000 hectares that offers a great diversity of preserved Pantanal landscapes with characteristic flora and fauna, large floodable fields of native grasses, several kinds of forests and permanent and temporary water bodies.

From Cuiabá, Mato Grosso's state capital, there are 100km of paved road to Poconé and another 33km of Transpantaneira Road (unpaved), to reach the entrance. This will take approximately 3 hours including several stops along the way to observe local attractions. The lodge is linked to the Transpantaneira by a private, slightly elevated, 7km service road with access year-round, providing excellent conditions for observing the flora and fauna of our region.

During both drought and flood, many attractions of the Pantanal may be observed by walking, horseback riding or canoeing to rarely frequented areas. Animals such as caimans, capybaras, monkeys, anacondas, deer and a variety of bird species, such as hyacinth macaws, toucans, cardinals and the bird symbol of Pantanal, the jabiru stork, can be found in their natural habitats.

The simple but comfortable accommodations are in harmony with the landscape and a farming lifestyle. The lodge offers 13 brick bedrooms, equipped with mosquito nets, window screens, a fan and a bathroom. Five bedrooms have air-conditioning. In the opinion of guests, meals are a special highlight as they are served in a cosy restaurant and prepared in firewood ovens.

The combination of limited capacity, good lodging infrastructure, a privileged location in a natural environment, easy access, delicious typical food and peaceful ambience makes Pouso Alegre a great choice for guests wanting a pleasant and safe visit to the region.
