Introducing Pantanal
A landscape with no need to perform.
Pantanal brings together seasonally flooded grassland, gallery forest, river channels, oxbow lakes and ranchland. Its wildlife context includes jaguar, giant otter, tapir, capybara, caiman, hyacinth macaw and prolific waterbirds.
A strong journey begins with the governing landscape rather than a sighting promise. The north and south are distinct circuits. Road and boat access changes with flood level, and transfers can be long. Dawn and afternoon boats or drives focus on river edges and open floodplain, with a shaded midday pause.
