General Interest Eco-Tours

Discover the Transpantaneira

The Transpantaneira is an elevated dirt road that runs from the small town of Pocone to Porto Joffre. It is known all over the world as an extraordinary place to view and photograph wildlife. The infrastructure of numerous lodges along the Transpantaneira provides for easy and comfortable access. The various lodges offer a variety of ambiances and nature viewing opportunities. It was here that Jacque Cousteau and his film crew came in the 1980’s to photograph wildlife for a documentary on the Amazon Basin because the photography there was so difficult. During the dry season from June to October the sheer numbers of feeding and roosting birds presents a spectacle so overwhelming that it takes time to put it in perspective. You will feel as if you are a part of your own wildlife documentary. You may also have numerous encounters with mammals such as the capybara, the world’s largest rodent, brown capachin monkeys, howler monkeys, coatimundis, crab eating foxes, or neo-tropical otters. Steel your nerves for viewing the hordes of caiman (neo-tropical alligators) that haul out to sun during the day. Some caiman measure over two meters in length. Perhaps you will be favored with a sighting of an anaconda, the world’s largest constrictor that when full grown can swallow prey as large as small deer, caiman or capybara. Request a night drive to increase your chances of spotting some of the more elusive animals such as giant anteaters or tapir. Some are even lucky enough to spot a jaguar or a puma. No one seeking a unique encounter with the natural world will leave here disappointed.

The largest advantage we offer is our local expert guides. Generally your group (and only your group) will be paired with one guide for the entire trip. Our guides give you the freedom to spend more time in the field than just the explorations offered by the lodges, which tend to be repetitive, noisy, and crowded. Having your own personal guide allows you to go to remote locations where most tours do not go. This gives you the best experience and most personalized tour available.
