Poconé
A recently renovated boat, Barco Casa Pantanal Toca da Onça offers accommodation in Poconé. There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat provides river views, a sun terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. We loved staying here. We were Immersed into Francisco and Margaridas world. They usually have only 2 to 6 guests so it's just you joining their world. Fly into Cuiaba airport, hire a car or arrange a lift to a hotel in Pocone and stay overnight. Then drive to Porto Cansada where you will be picked up in Francisco's super comfortable speed boat. You then go 70kms up river to the stationary houseboat. Bring a jacket as it can be hot and cold on the speedboat. From the houseboat, you do any number of different speed boat trips with nature experts. Some appear expensive but this is the best value Pantanal adventure period. Margaridas food is always excellent. Great for families and couples. Starlink wifi 120mbps, pay with cards or Wise in seconds. Catch piranha off the boat, see Jaguars ( as we did ), iguana, capybara, giant otters from the speedboat with no-one around. It's magical. They are very interesting people with rich histories. Go and join their world as a first priority in the Pantanal.
The hotel is in an amazing location, far inside the Pantanal on a river, with wild animals and nature all around. Perfect to live the real Pantanal experience. They also offer some activities, we enjoy a lot the boat trip, where we could spot severals animals (tapirus, capibaras, an otters family, different acquatic birds, caimans...). The animals are really close to the structure anyway, you can spot from the hotel also.
