For travellers who want to slow down. Each lodge along the Transpantaneira sits in a different mix of forest, open field and wetland, and it is remarkable how much the wildlife changes from one to the next. Choose four days with two lodges, or five days with three, and an extra early outing for tapirs and giant anteaters.
