Fishing of piranhas is also possible here. Lunch at the Pousada.

by means of searchlight.

Breakfast. Ecological hiking tour through the wilderness of the
Pantanal, visiting some settlements of the native "caboclos"
with their palm thatched huts. People's hospitality will provide
you with a lot of impressions of their lives, together with a very
stimulating drink of genuine "guarana". Lunch at the Pousada
and, after lunch, horseriding through the area.
Dinner and overnight rest.
