It was a genuine pleasure to see the Pantanal and Nobres with Biodiverse Brazil Tours guided privately by Marcos Ardevino. The hikes were well structured with many interesting elements both as to geology, plants and animals. We saw many of the interesting animals that roam in the Pantanal. Marcos has formidable knowledge as an enthusiast for all wildlife and biologist with a master degree. Marcos took us for up to 4 excursions per day. One day from 5 am to 9 pm, the latter with the finding of a tapir with calf and an armadillo. We are amazed of the richness of the fauna. It was also very good to have a guide insightful in the present situation in Brazil for both biome and people. Politics, economy and the world and life at large were discussed and gave us a good insight in Brazil. Marcos speaks good English, a prerequisite for a good trip for us who live outside of the Portuguese language sphere. The lodges and floatel were good with friendly staff and good housekeeping.

We would warmly recommend Biodiverse Brazil Tours and Marcos. A trip for life and we believe there is much more to see and do, so on another occasion.
