We just love this place and all those who work there! Paul and Stefan are relaxed, friendly and a joy to be with. Both times we have had excellent guides, on our first visit we saw 110 different species of birds (August 2011), this time we topped this with a count of 113. All in 3 days! The accommodation is...

We went as a group of friends and took the whole lodge. Our hosts were great Paul Adouldo and Manuela not to mention the amazing cook behind the scenes. Every day we were given options of what we wanted to do and tailored the entire trip to our needs. Really just echoes what everyone else has already stated on here.... More

I stayed at Embiara lodge for 3 nights in November 2011 with my boyfriend. The journey into the lodge takes 5 hours in a jeep but it is worth the long drive as you feel you are so far removed from the 'real' world. The accommodation at embiara is a very high standard. It consists of 3 individual lodges. The... More

I almost do not want to tell you all about this place because it is so amazing I want to keep it all for myself! Embaria is a trek to get to, but anything good in the Pantanal is! When we arrived we were greeted with warm towels to clean off from our journey in to the heart of the... More

We would highly recommend Embiara Lodge! It's like going away to camp as an adult. My husband and I just returned a few days ago from our trip to Embiara Lodge in the Pantanal and it was indeed a trip of a lifetime! Paul (the owner) was our host and we were at the lodge with 3 other couples from... More

Paul, Manoela, Aduolfo and the rest of the staff made this a memorable 5 days for us, from the organized activities, to the delicious food and the social setting. Check out Embiara's web site and their blog if you'd like to get an idea of the wild life you'll see up close and personal. And then keep your eyes wide... More

I feel wholeheartedly privileged to have enjoyed one of the great experiences of a lifetime by staying for 5 days at Umbiara Lodge - set deep in the southern Pantanal. From the moment we arrived, tired and hot after a long bumpy journey, the welcome and generous drink(s) offered were the beginning of a memorable stay that exceeded our expectations... More

I had the pleasure of visiting Embiara from October 31st-November 4th, 2011. The accomodations, food (Paul, I still say you should provide your guests a recipe book!!), hospitality and the wildlife were amazing. Days were jam packed with excitement and for those who wanted a little R&R they could rest in the afternoon. Manoela was an excellent guide with very... More

We visited Embiara for 4 days in October 2011. We loved it. The pousada was just lovely, with just a few large, very comfortable, beautifully decorated and impeccably clean chalets.. probably the most charming lodge we have ever been to. Our host Stefan and the other staff went out of their way to cater for each individual guest. There were... More
