This is a special place in so many ways. 

First and foremost, the wildlife. We didn’t think we’d have much luck seeing lots of animals outside of the park but boy, were we wrong. The property was huge with a lot of different types of landscapes. We only spent one night here and explored the property day and night, in safari vehicles and on foot. We were amazed by everything we saw in such a short visit: 4 giant anteaters, including a baby on mom’s back, within 15 minutes of our morning drive; a jaguar, foxes, and an ocelot during a night drive; marmoset and capuchin monkeys; and most amazingly a pair of jaguar mating! The biodiversity here is incredible. After already spending 6 days in Pantanal, we were blown away by our experience at Pivual. If you enjoy wildlife and beautiful birds, definitely stay here.

Another highlight was the cowboys and the livestock. These were not tourist attractions, this lodge is a working farm with thousands of cows and many horses. We enjoyed watching cowboys running the horses back and forth across the property grounds and the huge herd of cows coming home at sunset. It was beautiful.

Last but not least, this is a well-kept and well-run lodge with big and comfortable rooms, delicious (and a huge variety of) food, and friendly and helpful staff and guides. We regret our schedule only allowed us to spend one night here. We would have liked to enjoy the pool and other facilities if we had more time.


A mini Pantanal

Amazing wildlife, 3 Jaguars, 2 anteaters, 3 tapier, monkeys, coati, possum and so much more + the variety of birds here is simply spectacular. We had 5 days at this fabulous place and still found new animals on our last morning.  César (Osa Nature Lovers) was an excellent guide who went above and beyond to share his extensive knowledge as a naturalist and photographer with us in perfect English.  Also Erberta who has eagle eyes and knows the land around the lodge deserves a special mention too for finding many of the more elusive creatures.  All the staff were excellent: knowledgeable guides, housekeepers ensured clean comfortable accommodation and catering served delicious plentiful food!

An amazing place to experience the Pantanal

This is one of the best  places to see the real Pantanal if you are into ecological safaris and experiences. First, you have an array of options to explore this conservation accommodation unit with your family and friends. From observation decks to comfortable safari trucks just like in any African ecological hotel. Second, the property is amazingly preserved, biodiversity is on the register. When the tour driver passes by or you go to a walking tour or even on a horse ride you could see that by yourself. In short, your stay is positively impacting the conservation of this massive bioma and region. Food is very diverse and offers you a taste of the local cuisine called Pantaneira life. The delicious Bolo De arroz is regional and traditionally associated with this region, native fruits are added to staple ones like rice in a very tasteful combination. As a pescetarian, I enjoyed a very well-seasoned fish and enjoyed the view of many capybaras dotting the nearby lake. There is a body of water strategically positioned nearby the swimming pool that is full of animal life including jacares to see on a very warm night. The sight of the moon by the pool savoring food and drinks is memorable. Nature and tourism at its best. I would recommend the safaris and walking guided tours, by early morning to see the majestic birds ( many), the caimans* or jacares(especially the females were in abundance when we were on our tours), those majestic Hyacinth macaws, jaguars (even the jaguar paw marks printed on the mud are impressive), and so many other animals. For us, the highlight was to see the white-lipped peccary or animal jaw bone (queixadas) running in a pack from a safe distance. The tour guides are extremely well versed on the local biodiversity, which makes the experience educational too. Highly recommended. Rooms are roomy, well-kept, clean, and modern.

Pantanal at its best, with comfort

The accommodation options in the Pantanal are all pretty basic, operating like chalets. Piuval lodge was probably the most comfortable of the three lodges that we stayed in. 

The property is set approximately 3km from the main road, and the open savannah landscape on the drive in is supposedly very good for Giant Anteaters, with multiple termite mounds. We didn't see the Giant Anteater there, but found one in some other part of this ranch. We did a mix of lodge activities (horseback riding, open vehicle day gamedrive) and some activities organised by my tour operator (closed vehicle gamedrives, walking trips). On a morning gamedrive we saw a Giant Anteater in the distance and walked to get a closer glimpse of it. The afternoon game drive was also teeming with wildlife and we saw black howlers vocalising, marmosets, and tracked a jaguar which had caught a coati by a waterhole. 

The lodge offerings are very comfortable. The rooms are large and clean, and capybaras roam by the front door. The swimming pool is refreshing. The dining area can get quite crowded during mealtimes with many groups of people wanting to dine at the same time, but the lodge assigns seats during these periods to ensure guests have a place. The food is also pretty tasty. 

There are many rooms and the entire property can get quite busy. Large groups of people, international and local, stop by this property, so be prepared to see loads of people! 

Overall a fantastic stay!

Comfort in the Pantanal!

We booked a photo tour to the Pantanal and decided to arrive 4 nights early and stay at Pousada Piuval. It was a great decision. We walked around the property in the morning and evening and found so much wildlife - hyacinth macaws in the pink trees, a blue and gold macaw, toco toucans, chestnut-eared aracari, rheas, capybaras, caiman, to name only a few. We were also lucky enough to see jaguars at night and even a brief glimpse during the day. The rooms are large, the food is good and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed our stay so much that our photo group changed plans and we spent an additional 2 nights at Pousada Piuval at the end of our trip (6 nights total).

During the week, the location is totally peaceful. The weekends attract families and there is music and children playing in the pool. This activity, however, had no impact on the wildlife viewing. Take a break from wildlife viewing and join the families at the pool. Don't forget to order a caipirinha - they were fabulous.

Really Enjoyed our Stay

A beautiful property in the northern Pantanal on a 10,000 hectare ranch.  They have three watering holes near the lodge that attract all kinds of animals, including birds, capybaras and jaguars.  The food, served buffet-style, was good and plentiful.  The rooms were immaculate, and the service was excellent.

Wildlife everywhere

We stayed at Piuval for one night during a 10 night visit to the Pantanal.  Our room was excellent, and the food choices for B/L/D were excellent.  The grounds are large and house much wildlife.  We finally found Anteaters.  The picture below was taken by our private guide and photographer Leen Gillis.

Finally an Anteater

I enjoyed several days at the best hotel on the Transpantaneira road in the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil - Piuval Pousada.

This hotel is only 10 km away from the city of Pocone and it is the perfect spot to start your journey along Pantanal. On the huge area where the hotel is located you will enjoy everything you need for the comfortable stay – cosy rooms, restaurant with delicious three meals a day, swimming pool, fast internet, very attentive and professional staff, and even some wild animals visiting : ) Even before you’ll start traveling along Pantanal you can book some safaris even here, on the territory of the hotel. It is huge, and some animals feel very comfortable to live here. Of course, you can choose more extensive tours all along Pantanal up till Porto Jofre and see even more animals, including jaguars. 

There's an individual approach to every customer depending on his/her needs, therefore tours can also vary. 

I really appreciated both my time on the territory of pousada itself and during the tour to Porto Jofre where I had the boat ride watching wildlife and stayed at Yacht Millennium operated by Piuval Pousada as well. 

It is a convenient option to have the whole package on Pantanal road including accomodation, meals, tours, professional service in all aspects. For me it is one of the places to come back one day.

Three days in paradise

This Pousada is well run, with clean comfortable rooms and excellent food. The staff are to a person, accommodating and helpful. We took advantage of an evening walk while staying and saw our only tamandua-de collete on our 21 day trip. We also did an afternoon horse back tour- which provided access to the Pousada's tower and allowed us to see many birds in their natural wet land setting-

Very nice property in the Pantanal

Everyone that goes to Pantanal is because he wants to get involved with nature and wild animals. Here you will find all you need! The Pousada is very nice, extremely clean and even if rooms are simple the are confortable and quite. We did several tours offered by the Pousada and all of them were great! We had the chance to see capivaras, caimanes, all kind of birds, armadillos, and so on! At the night tour we saw a beautiful jaguar!!! The staff is always smiling and ready to give you informations and helps. This place is highly recommended!
