Everyone was very nice, helpful, connected with the nature and sympathetic. They offered many different tours, so the night tour-which was very interesting and great. As well the Kanu-tour was wonderful. Watching all the birds was amazing and the personal knew and could explain all of them. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always very fresh and tasty. A super stay-thank you! Manu and Alain

It was all great. Very minor point would be to clean the pool more often as the water was quite cloudy when we arrived so didn't use the pool until later in our stay when it was cleaner (this wasn't a big deal for us-it was more comfortable to rest inside during the hottest hours anyway!)

Caio and Bene the guides were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and really made our time at Aymara special! We loved getting to do canoe, walking and bike safaris, day and night safari drives (some at extra cost but good value!) and we saw such a diversity of wildlife. The jaguar expedition to Porto Joffre is not to be missed-truly a life changing experience to see a jaguar in the wild and, whilst it was a long day and additional cost, was so well organised and very worth it. The lodge itself is great with fantastic food, friendly and helpful staff, and comfortable and cool rooms (with air con which is very necessary in the Pantanal!). You feel very close to nature the whole time but are also in comfort. As an aside, it was very useful to be able to buy a wildlife guidebook and long sleeved top at the lodge. Staying at Aymara was the perfect way to see the wonders of the northern Pantanal-I highly recommend.

Aymara Lodge is set in beautiful grounds with nature in abundance on the doorstep. The staff are wonderful and you be treated like family. We are already missing everybody. The food is beautiful & the lodges are homely. Big shout out to our guide Bene for our being a friend and our big surprise on our last day. Look no further than Aymara for a perfect stay im paradise! We will return.

It was fairly expensive. The safari no longer goes on the Pantaneira, so limited animal viewings.

Lovely rooms and comfortable bed. We stayed 3 nights and saw lots of birds, in particular a family of Hyacinth Macaws in the tree on the grounds of the lodge. There were also monkeys in the trees. The pool was great in the heat, but we did need insect repellent when we got out! The staff were all very attentive, the guides were all trained biologists and very knowledgeable. The food was excellent, probably the best we had in Brazil overall. A great stay.

We were at the lodge at the end of April which is apparently the worst time for mosquitoes. Make sure you bring repellent and clothes to cover up if you plan on visiting during this time.

We had a lovely time at Aymara Lodge. The guides (Pablo and Caio) were so friendly and welcoming. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the region and it’s wildlife and their enthusiasm made our time at the lodge really enjoyable. The food was nice and there was something for everyone, the service staff were lovely as well. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the location was really beautiful. Everything ran smoothly and overall we had a great time.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

The Aymara was amazing. It is a very idyllic nestled in the Pantanal. The setting is beautiful with lovely cabins, a restaurant, cozy bar and swimming pool. The food was very good, the staff were very attentive and worked hard to ensure we had a memorable stay. We saw many birds and animals and our guide was so knowledgeable and had a deep love and understanding of his environment. Wha memorable experience for anyone who loves nature.

Fantastic guides, staff, food and rooms😀 We saw many animals and birds at every tour and at the lodge. We loved staying in the middle of the wild nature at Aymara Lodge👍

We are a family of 4. Inc 2 teenagers. If you are planning to visit Pantanal, this is the place to stay. Some of the reasons: 1. Location. Aymara is direct by the river. Whenever you feel like it, you can take one of the canoes, and 60 seconds later you are in the jungle, without a sound you can row down the river and safely observe the wild nature. 2. The team. You will first of all learn to know the super friendly owner family. Owner Giuliano is a former zoology guide. During the big fires in 2019, some voluntaries came to Pantanal, just to do what they could to save the wild life. One of these voluntaries is Pablo, a young biology school teacher and scientist. Pablo’s plan was to stay for a few weeks, but have now decided to dedicate his life to the well-being of Pantanal nature. As a guide at Aymara. Thanks to , Giuliano, Pablo and many others, the fires never reach the area around Aymara. Instead the area became the safe place and water hole for many animals. Maybe that is why there are so many animals around the lodge to look at :) 3. The rooms. Air condition works very well and beds are great. You will fall asleep, and wake up, to jungle sounds. 4. The food. Bufê of all types of Brazilian food. Fresh fish from the Pantanal rivers. And much more. 5. In the evenings, some of the guides light a small bonfire, and play some songs for us, while we enjoy cold drinks. Nice! 6. Activities: Yes, Aymara arrange jaguar safari, and sport fishing, etc. But of course, you never know if the jaguar will turn up, with the risk go home disappointed. Which is crazy as you are in the paradise of the world! You should not go into the wild and expect the expected. So we suggest you skip these things completely and instead spend your time horse riding in the water lands (no experience needed), or look for toucans, tapirs, deers, caimans, ant-eaters, blue macaw, birds, etc etc ………..in a morning or night Safari with Pablo. Or canoeing.

It was a fantastically beautiful lodge in the middle of nature. Already in the lodge itself, one saw a lot of animals. My personal highlight were the hyacinth macaws. A dream came true to watch them in the great outdoors. The excursions are also very well organized and provided unforgettable experiences. Again, a big thank you to Pablo ☺️ About the food we can only say that everything was very, very tasty. We had an unforgettable stay and would definitely recommend Amaya Lodge to others
