Discover Brazil’s best-kept secret, the Pantanal, a realm of flooded grasslands, savannas, and tropical forests that ranks among the planet’s most biodiverse regions. Derived from the Portuguese “pântano,” meaning wetland or marsh, the Pantanal’s marshes teem with an astounding array of life, from Jaguars to alligators and the endangered Hyacinth Macaw. This comprehensive tour delves into both the South and North Pantanal, renowned as the ultimate photography destination for capturing Jaguars, the third-largest big cat species.
Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing landscape through an exclusive wildlife expedition, revealing the crown jewels of the region. Painstakingly curated, this journey is a haven for both nature enthusiasts and photographers, centered around encountering iconic Pantanal residents. From majestic Jaguars and elusive Ocelots to Giant Otters, Giant Anteaters, vibrant Toco Toucans, Jabiru storks, Hyacinth Macaws, Anacondas, Black-collared Hawks, and a myriad of other remarkable creatures, each day promises fresh adventures and opportunities to immortalize these exquisite beings through your lens.
A unique highlight offers the chance to luxuriate in an entire day along the river’s edge, a privilege subject to the group’s zeal and the attainment of essential permits. Engage in birdwatching, observe graceful caimans, and lose yourself in the ever-changing river panoramas that await.
