The only lodging inside the 270,000-acre (1,090 square kilometer) Meeting-of-the-Waters State Park in North Pantanal, the JRC is a spacious tented camp and air-conditioned house boat.

JRC has eight sealed, 4m-by-5m walk-in tents with wooden floors, private, hot-shower bathrooms, and electricity for lights, fans, and recharging cameras and laptops.

Wireless internet will be available in the middle of 2008.

The houseboat is a twin-deck, 5m-by-16m craft with two air-conditioned cabins, each with its own hot-shower bathroom. The boat’s roofed, open-sided upper level is an ideal observation deck for scanning vast, uninhabited stretches of the Pantanal for the world’s largest Jaguars as well as for Giant Otters and other wildlife.
