WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Nestled amidst native trees, Araras is a wonderful wildlife lodge whose design sits in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, a charming base for exploring the resident flora and fauna. Conservation is at the heart of the lodge and Araras has spearheaded initiatives to increase the number of Hyacinth Macaws and Giant river otters within the region. Food is a simple yet hearty affair served in a separate dining room with a special focus on traditional pantaneiro cuisine. The surrounding area boasts a huge array of wildlife and daily activities are included and escorted by experienced local guides. You can ride out through the wetlands on the trail of peccaries and capybara; take boat trips down the river; head out on a 4×4 jeep safaris or climb the observation tower to enjoy breathtaking views across the Pantanal. And then back at the lodge, when the sun is at its highest, you can cool off in the handsome pool. Araras Lodge offers rustic comfort in the Pantanal and is accessible year round. It welcomes couples and families alike.
