Brazil's ultimate wildlife viewing destination
As the world's largest wetland, this remarkable ecosystem is teeming with a diverse array of animal and bird species
Welcome to the mesmerising world of the Pantanal, where nature reigns supreme and the human presence is minimal.
A remarkable variety of ecosystems, the Pantanal provides the perfect haven for a thriving wildlife population. With over 650 species of birds, hundreds of mammals, reptiles, and fish, exploring the Pantanal offers an unrivalled refuge of sheer beauty.
Caimans diligently patrol the waters, monkeys fill the trees with their lively chatter, and a multitude of bird species flit from treetop to treetop. The sky becomes a canvas of fiery reds and oranges at sunset, reflecting their vivid hues upon the water.
Due to the absence of roads and marshy swamplands, exploring the region is best done on horseback, allowing you to venture deep into the remote areas of the Pantanal. Glide along the rivers in dugout canoes or traverse the vast savannah in 4WD vehicles for a comprehensive safari style exploration of this remarkable landscape.
The Pantanal, far removed from civilisation, can be reached by flying into either Cuiaba or Campo Grande. Accommodations in the region are rustic and remote, scattered throughout the area. Whether you're interested in photo safaris, fishing trips, or jaguar tracking, the Pantanal offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities.
