The Pantanal

The Amazon may attract more fame and glory, but the Pantanal is a far better place to see wildlife, with the greatest concentration of fauna in the New World. In the Amazon, the animals hide in the dense foliage, but in the Pantanal's open spaces, wildlife is visible to the most casual observer.

The biodiversity of the region is extremely rich. 260 species of fish and 650 species of birds live there. Spectacled Cayman, hyacinth Macaw, Rhea, Giant river otter, Tapir and Jaguar all call this home. In addition to monkeys, emus and alligators, many snake species also live there. Thousands of birds such as Ibises, storks, Jaburus and spoonbill populate the area, and it is also an important wintering area for millions of migration birds from North America.

Horseback riding on the plains, uncultivated lands covered with bushes, and boating on the ponds of the Pantanal creates complete unity with nature. Of course, during hiking, colorful photographs taken by you will bring you back to these places again and again. You can fish for ferocious piranhas, and if you are lucky, then fry them. The locals lead a traditional and very close to nature life on their cattle farms .Even ostriches are grazed here.
