The farm where Pousada Aguapé is located has been run by the same family for some 150 years. Since 1989 it has diversified its activities, continuing with cattle but starting to work with ecological tourism and fishing, it is also taking part in other projects such as Pantaneira School, Pantaneiro Horse and Hyacinth Macaw project. Located in a rich area formed by typical wetland vegetation and open pastures with patches of stunted vegetation (cerrado), lakes, lowlands, pond outlets and the Aquidauana River with its exuberant gallery forest. Guests are welcome throughout the year, during the rain or dry season. This is an excellent environment for birdwatchers (over 270 species have been listed). Breakfast, lunch and dinner follow the regional tradition: typical dishes, meats, fish, breads, cheese and sweets all made with care in our kitchen. Fresh cheese, yogurt, cakes and sweets are made with products of the farm and this gives a special taste to the food. And the typical food like cheese bread, rice with dry meat, piranha soup, Paraguayan soup, rice with chicken and pasta with dry meat help you learn a little bit more about the culture and habits of the people from Pantanal. And more, at Pousada Aguapé the guest can wake up with the song of birds and also can milk the cows early in the morning, with the sunrise. There is nothing more beautiful and impressive than to see the sunrise and the sunset in Pantanal! |
