From 10500 per personPousada Trijunção offers comfort and luxury alongside an intimate integration with nature. Set on the border that divides the states of Minas Gerias, Bahia and Goias, Pousada Trijunção is perfectly situated to embrace the unique landscape of this area: the incredible Cerrado, the Brazilian savannah.
This lodge also supports it surroundings with efforts to promote its preservation and protect its inhabitants.
Located uniquely at the meeting point of three Brazilian states – Goiás, Bahia and Minas Gerais – Pousada Trijunção is 388km from Brasilia, accessed by a 5-hour car journey or 30-minute light aircraft flight. The Cerrado is a unique wonder and a haven for nature. As a habitat it acts as a sanctuary in the dry season and a pathway to the rich fauna and flora of this region, connecting important biomes.
There are three different suites available at this accommodation. The standard suite includes a king-sized bed with 600-thread cotton linen, towels and Trousseau robes. The premium suite offers a living room, a balcony and a large bathroom on top of this. The master suite has similar amenities but with the added luxury of a private hot tub and two balconies, with one entrance from the living room and another entrance from the bedroom.
Recommended activities include birdwatching, as here guests can search and identify a variety of species of exquisite birds in their natural habitat. For the more intrepid guest, there is also the option to take a night kayak or boat ride in search of the dwarf caiman. Another much sought-after species, and one of the most emblematic animals of the area is the maned wolf. Pousada Trijunção maintains a research project dedicated to the preservation of the endangered maned wolf, in partnership with the NGO Onçafari. Guests can also visit the project and witness the wolf in its natural habitat.
The menu at Pousada Trijunção has been inspired by Brazilian literary works about the Cerrado. Brazilian literature makes abundant references to the Cerrado, most notably the works of Guimarães Rosa, which describe “outside cooking” – with meals on balconies and in outdoor settings – and “inside cooking”, when travellers were invited to sit at tables. Dishes reflect the three different states of Minas Gerais, Goiás and Bahia, with culinary traditions combined from each. Food can also be served at any time of the day, eliminating the concern with schedules and ensuring comfort and convenience.

From 23000 per personOn this safari you will visit 3 different biomes: the vast Pantanal, mighty Amazon and little-known Cerrado and have a good chance to spot iconic wildlife such as jaguars, maned wolves, giant river otters, tapir and giant anteaters.
From 14000 per personJaguars are perhaps the most elusive of all the big cats, with most favouring dense jungle as their habitat. But in the Pantanal – the world’s largest wetland – these majestic felines depend on the waterways for survival, just as the rest of the wildlife does here. This is what makes the Pantanal the best place to see jaguars in the wild, as the cats can often be seen on riverbanks hunting for prey, taking a drink or resting in the shade. Swimming jaguars are also not an uncommon sight here! On this safari you’ll go where the jaguar goes, travelling and even sleeping on the rivers as you search for sign of the largest cat in the Americas. Along the way you’ll receive first-hand knowledge from guides who are experts in the flora and fauna of the region, embark on night drives looking for nocturnal creatures, and get to know the other colourful creatures that share this land with the jaguar.On this safari you’ll go where the jaguar goes, travelling and even sleeping on the rivers as you search for sign of the largest cat in the Americas.
