“Great experience.”
+In the northern part of the park, located in a forested area. The lodge and its staff were so kind and helpful. The food was really good and the lodges comfy and clean. Really professional. Night and day safaris were good, and always brought a new surprise. It was quite dry so no boat trips, but that didn’t seem to make a difference. The walk through the forest to the lake was so memorable with a multitude of amazing birds. Loved the giant otters. Saw lots of tapirs, 2 ocelots, tyra and coati among other things. If you have the time and resources, I would combine with a few days in port jofre as it’s a completely different experience.
−Nothing.

“Nice but missed opportunities”
+Food was good and staff friendly. Great wifi.
−Guides were friendly but not high level. One barely spoke a few worlds English and in general very little information was given about animals or nature. The only experienced guide went on leave the morning after my arrival. After having spend time in Anavilhanas lodge with their excellent, passionate guides there’s absolutely no comparison with Aymara. Activities are very limited. The boat trip is a waste of time because of vegetation and location of river. No horse riding, canoeing or cycling. The drives and walks were good but very limited information was given. I found an excellent 2 hour boat trip on a neighbouring property (Pousada Rio Claro) and this was actually the highlight of my Pantanal stay. I would recommend the Aymara owners to make a deal with Rio Clara to be able to offer this trip to their own guests. I would also recommend they spend a lot more time training the guides as this is obviously a management issue.

“Fantastic Experience (especially as English speaking tourists)”
+Our guides, Caio and Otavio, were fantastic. Their English was excellent and their enthusiasm for the local flora and fauna was infectious. It's clear the staff at Aymara really care about the local wildlife and sharing it with tourists in a considerate and sustainable way. The food was also excellent, with the staff taking the time to stop and have a chat with us when they could (despite our poor attempts at speaking Portuguese!). The room was also regularly cleaed and felt very safe/secure. The Jaguar trip was one we will never forget - we saw six Jaguars in one day (although we were very lucky with the weather/conditions).
−Nothing.

“Harmony between tourism and Nature”
+Our holidays wouldn’t have been so special if it wasn’t in Aymara Lodge. Everything is so unique and special, and fits in our dream of how the development of the tourism in Pantanal and in other wildlife areas in the world should be. The staff is absolutely fantastic. And saying that I want to also acknowledge the ones who we didn’t meet and worked to make this experience perfect. The Aymara team should be very proud of what they achieved. The meals were delicious. Real flavoursome Brazilian homemade style meals. I’ll be talking about that pacu for many years to come. The afternoon coffee and cake was a special treat. For a Brazilian who has been living abroad for more than 20 years, it really reaches deep in my soul. The tours in the property exceeded our expectations. Every tour comes with different experiences and they are never like the one before. I’ve learned so much and it made me so much in love with this ecosystem. We just wished we could have seen Macaw, the young jaguar that has been seen in the area.
−I wish I could have stayed for longer, but now we have an excuse to come back, maybe in a different season , and maybe meet Macaw

“Can't wait to come back”
+we loved our stay at Aymara Lodge! we felt like in jungle dream - monkeys wake you up, capybaras greet you outside your hut, parrots in the trees... walking around you have the chance to see more animals. the facilities were all super beautiful. the staff were great, all very friendly, in a good mood and heartwarming. we chose Aymara because they offered to cater vegan food and they did! we did 2 safaris, a hike and a night safari with them - all were great! the guides were super sympathetic and knowledgeable. Will miss them! we also did the jaguar tour, which I highly recommended. my life dream came true - we met tapirs. ! all in all I can not recommend Aymara enough. If I come back to Pantanal, no doubt I'd come back.
−marking the vegan food options would be nice. our room was a bit small for 3 people. mosquito nets would be great. nevertheless - only love for Aymara.

“Absoluut aanrader voor iemand die van wildlife houdt!”
+Ons verblijf in Aymara lodge was geweldig. Allereerst is het personeel zeer vriendelijk en spreken ze voor Braziliaanse begrippen goed Engels. Daarnaast vonden we de gidsen ontzettend goed. Personeel deed er alles aan om je verblijf zo comfortabel mogelijk te maken. Ook het buffet was erg lekker. Om de logde valt er al genoeg wildlife te zien en daarnaast heb je meerdere safari’s per dag. Wanneer je niet naar Porte Jofre reist, raden we de jaguar safari als dagtrip aan. Behoorlijk prijzig, maar we hebben 6 jaguars gezien! Samengevat is Aymara logde een droombestemming voor iemand die van wildlife houdt.
−Niks. Er viel (dagelijks) veel regen, wat niet normaal is voor september. Hou er rekening mee dat dit kan gebeuren, want je betaald veel geld voor een verblijf.

+A melhor opção de hospedagem no Pantanal Norte, sem dúvidas. Uma série de atividades diárias para observação de animais, comandadas por biólogos experientes e muito bons em avistamento (destaque para Mari, Caio e Caio, que compartilharam muito conhecimento e eram excelentes em encontrar os animais mesmo à noite). Lisa e Juliano também foram muito solícitos. Camas confortáveis, banheiros limpos, ar condicionados funcionando e comida excelente (também inclusa!!)! A seca prejudicou um pouco a pressão dos chuveiros, mas nada que comprometesse a experiência! Recomendo vivamente à todos os brasileiros e estrangeiros que desejam conhecer o Pantanal! A equipe fala bem inglês e conduz com muito cuidado toda a estadia!
