Meet Antonio and his family

My name is Antonio Gonçalo da Silva. I was born in March 1974, in the city of Barão de Melgaço, in the heart of the Pantanal in Mato Grosso.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always been connected to the river. At just 12 years old, I was already sailing the Cuiabá River with my father, fishing and guiding the first tourists who came to discover the rich biodiversity of our region.

I have lived in Porto Jofre for almost 30 years. Here, I have built my life around what I love most: boats, nature, and the Pantanal.

I know these waters, the animals, and the secrets of the Pantanal like the back of my hand. And it is with great joy that I now share this passion with travelers from Brazil and around the world.

But I don’t work alone, I’m joined by my family: Wander, José Antônio, Kaká, Benevan José, and Gonçalo. Together, we form a close-knit and passionate team, dedicated to taking care of every detail so that you feel at home and enjoy an unforgettable experience.

When you come aboard with us, you’re not just taking a tour, you’re experiencing the true spirit of the Pantanal. Welcome to our boat and to our story!
