“The trip was fabulous and quite successful (we saw 10!! jaguars in 14 sightings). The organization was excellent, and all the transitions were very smooth. My friends were very impressed with the entire operation, and I will be strongly recommending use of BNT for the Pantanal and any other Brazilian trips people might have in mind. Thank you so much.”
— Roz Salzman, USAPousada Refugio da Ilha Tours
Pousada Refúgio da Ilha is a nature paradise on the banks of the clear waters of the Salobra River that here, divides itself in two arms forming an island. The ideal place to be in close contact with nature.
