  • CuiabáEight days in the largest wetland on earth — about ten times the Everglades, and the best place in the world to see a wild jaguar.
  • TranspantaneiraThe road is raised above the floodplain on 120-odd wooden bridges and the animals use the ditches either side of it.
  • Porto JofreThe Transpantaneira simply stops at Porto Jofre.
  • Véu de NoivaChapada is 800 m of red sandstone above the plain and the geographic centre of South America is marked near the town.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.

Reply from Condor Overland

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Mato Grosso was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.
