About Pantanal River Crossing - Akaia

This exclusive cruise traverses a stunning array of environments within the Grand Pantanal, not just in search of jaguars but also for other wildlife, as well as the region's beautiful landscapes. The Akaia, a comfortable motor vessel with only 7 cabins, winds along the Paraguay and Cuiabá rivers, and through the picturesque Amolar mountainous region, exploring three distinct nature reserves: the Pantanal National Park, the Meeting of the Waters State Park, and the Transpantaneira Park Road. Your journey will be dedicated to discovering the area’s fascinating and diverse fauna and flora, including the elusive jaguar, playful giant river otters, countless caimans basking on sandbars, and the enchanting ‘Victoria Regia’ giant water lilies. Additionally, witness thousands of diverse bird species that make up this wild South American sanctuary.
