Because of the logistics of our trip, we are looking at the southern Pantanal versus northern. Most of the best known lodges (Caiman, etc) are northern but we need info to help us with a short trip of 2-4 nights in the Southern Pantana and 2 nights in Bonita. Any suggestions of lodges that have most of the creature comforts as well as near water....possibly with a pool, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Southern Pantanal...best lodges for wildlife & comfort?

Hi,
Caiman Lodge is in the Southern Pantanal, http://www.amazontravel.com/caiman.asp?gclid=CIHqlcyBk68CFcgopAodtDg2xw.
I can recommend Fazenda Barranco Alto which I found to have great wildlife, be very comfortable and a high standard of guiding. I don't remember a pool though.
You might also like to check out Embiara Lodge http://www.embiara.com/ - not sure if they have a pool.
Happy planning,
Pol
