With some shaded areas and a wet bar serving refreshing drinks, this deck provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration. As you soak in the sun or scan the skies for Hyacinth Macaws returning to their nests, the Pantanal reveals itself in a whole new light from this elevated vantage point. In all the Pantanal, only Naturezas and SouthWild’s Jaguar Suites offer large, open top observation decks.
