Pousada
Piuval is located in the north part of Pantanal, about
110km from Cuiabá. You take the road Transpantaneira
from Cuiabá to Poconé, and just 10km
(+3km) after Poconé you reach the guest house.
It might take about 1,5 hour by car from the airport
in Cuiabá. Piuval is a large traditional cattle
ranch of 7.000 hectares of flooded lands. The place
is situated near the bay of the River of Rio Berto
Gomes, an area full of wild life. There are many mound-hills
(islands of vegetation) that concentrate mammals especially
during the wet season and where there are many nests
of Hyacinth Macaws, Jabiru storks, among others. You
access the surrounding by trekking, horse riding or
even by canoes, depending on the season. This is the
place for bird watching, alligator spotting, fishing,
etc. You may visit the place especially between July
and November, when there are lots of birds that make
their immigration stopover. Between January and April
is the top of the “wet season” with flooded
lands and it can even be difficult to access some
places, especially by car.
The place
has good structure to receive guests, providing with
a restaurant with TV, kiosk with an area with hammocks
where you can relax, swimming pool, volleyball court,
tours/activities in the area by tractor with card,
trekking, horses or by boat. There are 14 guest rooms
accommodating 2, 3 or 4 guests in each room. All rooms
have private bathroom with hot water, air conditioning,
ceiling fan, verandah and mosquito net at the window.
