Pure nostalgia, a roadmap framed by some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. The Pantanal train departures from Campo Grande, passing by Aquidauana to the town of Miranda, the final destination of the roadmap. A ride that goes through many historic places and each “step” of the ride is witnessed by the Pantanal exuberance.

 

CITIES WHERE THE TRAIN PASSES BY

CAMPO GRANDE

Campo Grande, capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, is eminently a city of commerce and services, with a strong university trait. Also characterized by harmonious coexistence of rural tradition and urban business modernity, resulting in a special design merged by the architecture, behavior and manifestations at the same time rich and diverse, reflected clearly in the cuisine, music, plastic arts, dances and different forms of expression of its people. It is a natural touristic corridor, due to its strategic location in the center of the state. It is the only Brazilian city that has an urban Indian village: there are 135 masonry huts, home to the Terena’s nation families, who changed the Indian reservation for the city life. There is the Memorial of Indigenous Culture, a stately hunt over eight feet high, covered with bacuri straw.

AQUIDAUANA

Aquidauana has buildings that have historical and cultural value, such as the Casa Primavera and the large houses that preserve an original architecture. It is the pantanal town which is nearest to the capital - 136 km. The river that gives name to the city offers tourists photographic safaris and good fishing. In its margins beautiful beaches are formed, suitable for the practice of aquatic sports. 

 
Stop for lunch.
 

MIRANDA

Along with other large buildings, Miranda railway station, built in 1912, is one of the oldest in Mato Grosso do Sul. The city has become a touristic attraction due to historical tourism - cultural, urban and rural areas associated with ecotourism - as well as horse riding and fishing. Bathed by the Aquidauana and Miranda rivers, the city retains the striking features of the vegetation of Serra da Bodoquena in transition to the Pantanal biome, which makes its biodiversity splendorous. It has the second largest indigenous population of the state and so is largely influenced by the Terena’s ethnicity, which contributes to the cultural and artistic enrichment of city, through its dances, customes, handicrafts and traditions.
