A small paradise away from home... This place is exceptional. From the staff to the breathtaking views, cute animals... You are waken up by tge sound of birds to a delicious breakfast and then of to one of their tours with knowledgeable guides who are experts in sporting the animals and who gratefully share they're knowled of pantanal with you. A Magical experience that forever will stay in our minds

Guides and staff are poorly prepared fpr international guests and rely on external translators, while mpst visitors are not Brazilians.

Great contact to nature, spotted several animals, nice tours, great food, nice pool and the room was perfect.

If you don't have an English speaking guide (and don't speak Portuguese) then you will miss a lot of information about animals and spot less

The place is magical. Very friendly staff, amazing food, great pool area, and the bed was so comfortable. We booked a private English guide because all the trips are done with people that work for the pousada and they don't speak English.

more a recommendation. Itwould be great to have the guides to give the names of animals, plants in English.

beautiful area surrounded by animals (birds, Amarillo, horses…). the activities planned everyday are a great way to discover the fauna and flora. typically, there is one activity at 7:00 am for 2 hours and a second one at 4:00 pm. Pool area very enjoyable. very nice people managing and working at the Pousada. 2 nights on site is a must.

We absolutely loved this place from beginning till end. It was amazing. Cool tours and super delicious food. Nice place to relax in between the tours. Awesome with all this wildlife nearby!

This is the most amazing place I have ever stayed. The location is absolutely astounding with so much wildlife to see in the hotel grounds. The excursions are well organised and very personal (we were pretty the only people on all of our trips). The guides really make an effort to show you the best of the Pantanal and all of the animals. The hotel facilities are also fantastic. The pool is very nice and well maintained. The rooms are luxuriously appointed and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The food in the hotel was delicious at breakfast, lunch and dinner - real home cooked Brazilian food. We liked the self serve bar concept too, it made things more relaxed. Finally, the staff are the key highlight. The woman on front reception spoke impeccable English and was so helpful and kind (including sorting our transfers). Then staff serving food were so friendly and made us laugh watching them play with the armadillos. The tour guides were relaxed, friendly and informative and really made the trips special. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Our stay at Pousada Aguape was exceptional. They arranged a transfer from Campo Grande bus station to the property and upon arrival we were immediately greeted by Hyacinth Macaws, Blue-and-Yellow Macaws, several other parrot species and dozens of ibis and armadillos. The property is alive with wildlife! The staff welcomed us and showed us to our basic but beautiful room. All of the food was delicious - the catering team really know what they are doing! And, although we stayed for five days the food was always varied and different. Excursions were well organised and very enjoyable. We were there with the aim of observing and photographing wildlife so requested to be on as many safaris as possible rather than some of the other activities available (horse riding etc.). This request was no trouble for them and they happily modified their schedule to give us exactly the experience we wanted. Because of our long stay they also gave us two night safaris included in the price. We also arranged a couple of additional private excursions for bird watching and a night safari - both of which were very reasonably priced. The quality of guiding was good - in particular Fabiano, who we went out with privately, was exceptional, despite speaking limited English he communicated almost perfectly and seemed to have an almost supernatural skill at spotting wildlife (coming from an experienced professional field ecologist!). During our trips we saw countless Capybara and Caiman, seven Giant Anteaters, a Tamandua, two Tapir, deer, Capuchin and Howler monkeys, foxes, coati and even am Ocelot! Pousada Aguape was one of the best wildlife experiences I've ever had. The price is exceptionally reasonable for the Pantanal too. I highly recommend a visit!

We were annoyed that it wasn't clear when we reserved that we would need to book a separate english speaking guide. I messaged them in english several times asking other questions before booking but it wasn't in the description and they did not mention it until the confirmation email after I made the (non-refundable) reservation and had booked flights, etc. Having to pay the extra 2000 reals for this (for 4 days) on top of the 1650 reals for the transfer to and from campo grande made this part of our trip really expensive. We did have a good time and our private guide was great but we noticed that the local guides barely spoke on the tours (though they were lovely and great at spotting things) so the wider group often ended up getting information from our guide. We also got unlucky because the whole 4 days that we were there the pool was broken - we would have appreciated a token free drink or something to acknowledge that it was out of order because we really missed having a place to cool off in the hot weather. Overall we had a nice time but felt like we ended up paying a lot for what we got.

Overall this was a lovely place and exploring the wetlands is wonderful. Comfortable rooms, fun tours, lots of exotic animals roaming around, great food (including good vegetarian options and lots of salads), friendly staff and the woman on the bar makes the most delicious caipirinhas!
