After leaving Curicara Lodge and starting back towards Pocone & Cuiaba, we were birding the Transpantaneira and saw the turn-off to Pousada Piuval.

Just for fun, we turned in for a look.  At the time, they didn’t have a day visit package (they do now) so we had coffee and a snack at the restaurant.

They have a really nice little gift shop and I ended up buying a few things.

Best of all – the garden is full of birds!

Yellow-chevroned Parakeet

Quaker Parrot

Vermilion flycatcher

Saffron Finch

Blue-crowned Parakeet

It’s a shame we didn’t have more time (and money) as this place looked really nice, but there is hopefully a next time!  For now, we were bound for Chapada dos Guimarães!
