Snorkeling in Nobres
When you travel to the Pantanal, you also have the opportunity to visit Nobres and its blue water paradise. A wonderful place to go snorkeling in crystal clear waters and to go to an exceptional lake where hundreds of Macaws and parrots return every evening to their nests in order to sleep.
Don't forget to check out our extension program to go hiking in Chapada dos Guimarães.
Notice that:
- it is possible to combine Nobres extension with the Chapada dos Guimarães extension.
- It is possible to visit Nobres without going to the Pantanal.
Nobres extension :
Not as popular as the city called Bonito and that’s better for us! The advantage of Nobres is that it is not visited by a huge number of tourists like Bonito in the Southern state of Mato Grosso. This destination has become more like an “industrial” kind of mass tourism while Nobres is still intact and original.
It is the perfect place for snorkeling in crystalline water full of fish for an unforgettable experience!
Transfer from Pantanal to Nobres:
- After lunch in our last lodge in the Pantanal, we’ll travel towards the city called Nobres,
- Along the road, we will pass by the Chapada dos Guimarães National park where the landscape will be very different from the Pantanal’s and it will be possible to contemplate a part of the « Red-sandstone wall ». Then, still along the road, we’ll see the Manso’s dam, the biggest water retention of Mato Grosso.
- We’ll arrive at our lodge for dinner.

- Breakfast
- Snorkeling in the Salobra River in crystalline water;

- Then we’ll go to « Lagoa das Araras » in order to enjoy the sight of the Blue-and-yellow Macaws (Ara ararauna) and the Red-bellied Macaws flying by (Orthopsittaca manilata) when they are returning to their nest.
- Then we will drive back to Cuiaba to leave you at the airport or at the hotel of your choice.

Or as there is more to enjoy in the place, have a look at the option Nobres +1, in this case we would spend another night at the lodge.
Nobres +1
- Breakfast;
- We’ll go to the wonderful “Serra Azul falls”. After 800 meters walk and 470 stair steps climb, you’ll be rewarded by a beautiful view of a 45 meter- height waterfall named Serra Azul that is falling straight into a natural pool in which you are going to swim with a snorkel to observe the local fish.
- After that, instead of going down the stairs, you’ll ride a 700 meter zip line. Thrilling experience guaranteed! (In case you are a bit afraid of zip lines, it is possible to go down using the stairs);
- Lunch at the lodge,
- We’ll go back to Cuiaba, to the airport or hotel according to your choice.
