Pousada Aguapé Airstrip serves Aquidauana, BR.
Travelers consistently express overwhelmingly positive sentiment and high satisfaction with their experiences at Pousada Aguapé, a traditional ranch in the Southern Pantanal which includes the SNN6 airstrip. The focus of reviews is on the immersive nature experience, excellent service, and comfortable accommodations of the lodge rather than the airstrip itself, which serves as a private access point for small chartered planes.
What Travelers Love
- Nature and Wildlife: Guests are thrilled by the abundant wildlife in the Pantanal, including sightings of anteaters, deer, caimans, capybaras, and a vast array of bird species (over 300 recorded) directly around the lodge.
- Activities and Excursions: The daily guided tours such as horseback riding, nature safaris (day and night), boat trips, kayaking, trekking, and piranha fishing are highly praised for being well-organized, engaging, and led by knowledgeable local guides.
- Food and Dining: The delicious, varied, and traditional regional cuisine is a consistent highlight, with fresh, homemade dishes, including farm-produced cheese, yogurt, cakes, and sweets. Full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner) is typically included.
- Staff and Service: The friendly, helpful, and engaging staff are frequently commended for making stays memorable and providing excellent service.
- Lodge Facilities and Comfort: Travelers appreciate the comfortable, air-conditioned rooms (some with ceiling fans and private bathrooms), a refreshing outdoor swimming pool, hammocks area, and other common leisure facilities like a games room and TV lounge. Free WiFi is available in common areas, and the lodge is noted for its cleanliness.
Common Complaints
- Language Barrier with Guides: A recurring concern for international visitors is that local guides and some staff may have limited English proficiency, often necessitating the booking of a separate, private English-speaking guide at an additional significant cost.
- Overall Cost: The combined expense of accommodations, transfers, and potentially an extra English guide can make the trip to Pousada Aguapé quite expensive.
- Weekend Crowds: Some reviews suggest that the experience can be less tranquil on weekends due to larger groups with potentially less interest in nature, affecting the atmosphere of tours.
Pousada Aguapé offers an exceptional and immersive Pantanal experience, highly recommended for its wildlife, activities, food, and dedicated staff. While the private airstrip (SNN6) facilitates access for small chartered planes, it is important for travelers to note that this is a lodge's private facility and not a conventional airport; therefore, there are no public terminal buildings, security checkpoints, or customs/immigration services at SNN6 itself. Ground transportation from larger airports like Campo Grande is the more common means of arrival and involves a significant drive, part of which is on dirt roads.
