Doesn't this sound like a rollercoaster for the senses?

Ready for a nature-filled day? Wave goodbye to city life and let's set sail on an ecological adventure to the Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetland areas. Brace yourselves to spot a plethora of wildlife - jaguars, capybaras, and hundreds of bird species. Isn't it awe-inspiring to be this close to raw nature? After lunch, we'll head back to the city for a relaxing stroll in the Parque Mãe Bonifácia. Expect enchanting forest trails and small animals at every turn. Can you imagine a better way to close the day than dining with the soft hum of the forest in the background?
Day 3 - Discover Cuiabá’s Diverse Cuisine
They say that to know a place, you must taste its cuisine. So on day three, our taste buds lead the way! We'll embark on a foodie adventure, commencing with a visit to Regional Fair of CPA - a cornucopia of tropical fruits, cheese, and local dishes. Have you ever tried jabuticaba or guavira? Yes, you guessed it, an explosion of taste awaits! In the afternoon, we join a cooking class to learn how to concoct traditional Brazilian dishes. Let’s be honest, nothing connects better than food, right? Our gastronomic journey culminates with a fancy dinner at Restaurante Mahalo, promising a fine dining experience filled with a blend of traditional and contemporary Brazilian cuisine.
