Mae Bonifacia Park

Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands

I stayed a day in Cuiaba before embarking on a tour to the Pantanal. My plan to visit the chapada dos Guimaraes park was thwarted because of fires raging there, so I decided to stay in Cuiaba. Since I stayed close to this park, I visited it three times. The first time was around 15.00 at the day of my arrival, and I was pleasantly surprised first by seeing a nunbird, then a trogon, then some bare-faced ibises, then some lizzards, again a trogon, an antwren (I think) and finally some agoutis. The next morning I visited around 7.00. This time I noticed mainly the monkeys, and also a cuckoo I think, and some bluish tanagers drinking at a central spot in the park. Many people jogging at this time, which may make the morning a less ideal time to see wildlife. My last visit around 16.00 didn't yield anything new. I just saw agoutis and monkeys again, and noticed the ibises in a tree in the distance. Generally a very good place to see birds and other wildlife. The park is mostly used by joggers. Pets and cycling are understandably forbidden. There are mopeds in the park though and I think cars are allowed too, as long as they stay under the 10 km speed limit. I think it is a pity that the many trails have all been asphalted. Maybe this is to minimize the risk of joggers falling, but this does not weigh up against keeping the space natural. I also think there are plenty of instruments for exercises around the park - hope they don't put more there.

Fizemos alguns passeios, entre eles a caverna Aroe-Jari, a Ponte de Pedra entre outros, com o Guía Pablo Peres, Cel: 65-992950665. O Pablo é um guía sensacional, muito culto, profundo conhecedor de botânica, arqueologia e de cada cantinho que visitamos. Além de tudo, ele é bem-humorado, paciente e muito preocupado com a segurança de seus clientes. Recomendo fortemente o Pablo como guía para toda a região da Chapada dos Guimarães. We did some tours, among them the Aroe-Jari cave, Ponte de Pedra, among others, with the guide Pablo Peres, mobile: 55 65-992950665.

Me and my girlfriend went on two hikes here, a shorter waterfall hike with 8km walk and a longer 21km hike up Morro sao Jeronimo where the views were incredible. Rodrigo was a great guide, was very knowledgable and spoke excellent English. We would recommend to all visitors.

Aquario Encantado

Reviewed By Discover009

We contacted Rodrigo about our first trip to Brazil: +55 65 9257-4363. We were looking for a English guide and Rodrigo’s English was perfect. Rodrigo was professional, responded quickly and as we were travelling during covid always kept us updated with the latest measures and made us feel safe. Our whole experience from start to finish was fantastic! We stayed in Nobres for three days and visited cachoeira da serra azul, duto do Quebo, aquário encantado and reino encantado. The wildlife is incredible and Rodrigo pulled out all the stops to make sure our first time in Brazil was magical. It has been a pleasure to complete our first trip to Brazil with Rodrigo. Nothing is too complicated for him. We both had so much fun and won’t forget the laughs, landscapes and interesting conversations we had a long the way. We travelled to Brazil after the Covid restrictions were lifted and can’t recommend Rodrigo enough to anyone looking to travel post covid. Rodrigo is switched on and will make sure you have THE best experience while keeping safe.
