When to visit
Every month is fascinating and different in the Pantanal. Generally speaking, the best time to visit is between 1 June and 31 December. The last half of July and the first half of August feature an astounding wading bird concentration just 15 minutes south of the town of Poconé at some of the first bridges on the Transpantaneira Road. The Giant Otters at PWC tend to be visible daily at close range from 15 June through 15 Dec. The Jabiru Stork nests are active from July through early November. The most beautiful water scenery is in the months of March through May. The most colorful flowering trees are available in July (the yellow-flowering Voychysia divergens) and August (the pink-flowering and yellow-flowering Tabebuia species). So far, our three years of field research have shown that July through October are the best months to see Jaguars on the rivers near the Jaguar Research Center. In 2007 and 2008, we hope to lengthen the Jaguar season by learning more about the hunting routes and resting spots of individual cats. |

PWC has 10 double-occupancy rooms with air conditioning and private, hot-shower bathrooms. The largest rooms easily accommodate up to four single beds, which is ideal for families. The large, screened dining room and lounge features a full bar and specializing in caipirinhas, the Brazilian national cocktail.
