On Safari by Boat
Pousada Aguape also organises a boat trip down the Rio Aquidauana, which is just a short walk from the Pousada and flows into the Rio Paraguay.

Each trip enabled us to see a different range of animals and birds. On this trip, our guide (who seemed to be able to spot animals and birds when no-one else noticed them) pulled the boat into the bank and we crept into the jungle where we were able to see a group of wild boar.

We also saw - from a distance - monkeys in the trees and the enormous Tuiuiu (Jabiru stork) - quite sight - even from a distance.
