Trip Summary
The Pantanal is a fantastic wetlands area to the west of Brazil and is perfect for those wishing to experience arguably the top wildlife destination in South America. Renowned as one of the best places to spot the elusive jaguar, the wildlife experience is first class with a plethora of bird species, reptiles and mammals. Some of the more unusual creatures include the Giant Anteater, Giant Otter and the tapir, all possible to view within the varied habitats of the region including savannah, swamp, forest and lakes or rivers.

For those looking to extend to other regions, the Pantanal combines perfectly with the nearby Chapada do Guimaraes and the southern Amazon (Cristalino Lodge) which, when combined with the Pantanal, forms the three ecosystems of Mato Grosso do Sul. With its incredibly bird life, mammals and reptiles, a wildlife holiday in the Pantanal is an experience not to be missed!
