Chapada dos Guimarães @ Mato Grosso, Brazil

Hi folks,

Just wait some days and I will tell you about my trip to Chapada dos Guimarães, MT.

You will love it.

Nobres @ Mato Grosso, Brazil

Hi folks,

There is a city in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, called Bonito. If you never heard about it, google it and you will like it.

But in the State of Mato Grosso, there is a city called Nobres that is almost the same. Here in Mato Grosso they say that "Bonito é bonito, mas Nobres é Lindo". In english, it means "Bonito is pretty, but Nobres is Beautiful"

So, they say Nobres is better than Bonito.

I had the pleasure to visit some places in Nobres and I loved it.

I do not know what happened with my Camera, but I lost my video of Rio Triste. That place is incredible.

Pantanal @ Mato Grosso, Brazil

Hello folks,

I really need to find time to write more in my blog CorujaOnTheRoad.

Since my last post I did some trips around Brazil, but I did not have time to update my blog.

On saturday, january 22, 2011, I went to Pantanal. I always dreamed about going to Pantanal, Brazil.

Have you ever dreamed about seeing "Jacaré" and a lot of other wild animals?

So my dream came true on this saturday and I finally went to Pantanal with my wife.

After learning about the options, we decided to contract a local company called "Confiança Turismo" from Cuiabá, Mato Grosso.

We had included in our package:
- Someone to pick us up at our hotel on Cuiabá,MT;
- Someone with a car and gas to drive us to Pantanal, MT to a "Pousada" called "Pousada Rio Claro";
- Have launch (almoço) at Pousada Rio Claro in Pantanal, MT.
- Have a boat ride and take a lot of pictures with "jacarés";
- It was not included in the package drinks, so we spent 7 reais to drink a Tamarindo Juice (a local juice), for me, it was a little expensive.
- I also took a pool bath.

I can say that this trip was incredible, the whole road called "Transpantaneira" is incredible; and going to the jungle to see the wild animals is just perfect.

I am posting some videos about my trip with my wife. It was just perfect.











I also would like to thank our guide called Edmilson and Gonça for the really good job, we loved it.

We did a lot of other good videos and pics, but we do not put all the videos here.

If you are planning to came to Pantanal in Brazil you will love it, I promisse.

We also ate last week at Lelis Peixaria what they call "Rodizio de Peixes".

Everything you will eat there you will love, even "Jacaré".

Our favorites are:
- Filé grelhado na chapa com molho de Tucupi;
- Pastel de Pirarucu e kibe de peixe;
- Pirarucu a Milanesa;
- Pintado a Milanesa;
- Pacu ao Escabeche;
- Arraia Frita;
- Jacaré no Espeto ou Frito.
