The Pantanal may live in the shadow of the Amazon, but it promises a wildlife experience like no other. It is one of the world’s largest tropical wetland areas and covers around 150,000 square kilometres. The large open wetlands are a stronghold for jaguar and sightings of the elusive cat are prized. The area is also home to a plethora of birds, mammals, fish and reptiles and some 3,500 known plant species so you can expect wild encounters like no other.
Journey Highlights
Touchdown at Campo Grande airport, the southern gateway to the Pantanal. The largest wetland plain on the entire planet, this magnificent ecosystem is the habitat of the largest concentration of wildlife in the Americas, sheltering over 650 species of birds, 400 species of fish and 80 species of mammals, many threatened with extinction. Meet your local driver and journey to your wilderness accommodation. Drop your bags and spend the evening with one of the Caimaners, expert naturalist guides on the Pantanal and gain insights into this extraordinary area.
