First of all, some free advice
The Pantanal is located far from the Capital City of Mato Grosso,
Cuiabá. Our guests must procure their own accident and health insurance before arriving at Cuiabà. If ever there were problems with our guests' health, or should minor accidents happen when boating, riding horses or trail walking, it will be important to have transportation to the nearest hospital. For this purpose we wish to assure our visitors that they will feel safe and secure with
Pantanal Jaguar Expeditions. A car will always be on hand 24 hours a day for such eventualities. Not all tour companies in the Pantanal have taken this necessary consideration to heart, so you should always check for this service when you book your tour.
For instance, some less scrupulous guides in the Pantanal will hire a taxi to take you to the pousada they have booked for you and then as soon as the driver has delivered you, the taxi will return to Cuiabá. There you are stranded in the middle of the Pantanal with no means of transportation, should you need to return to the city at short notice, until the next morning. We therefore reiterate that it is very important to choose a good company who will attend carefully to your every need. Otherwise you may discover that the so-called cheap tour that you booked will end up being a lot more expensive than you thought.
