The Pantanal is the
world’s largest contiguous wetland area (actually an
alluvial plain) located in the center of South America.
It’s a perfect ecological niche for a great number of
birds, reptiles and other animals to the delight of
wildlife watchers and photographers.
This Program offers you the very best combination of
different ecoregions of the Grand Pantanal, combining
top Lodges and a rich itinerary for the most demanding
nature lovers.
Pantanal of BARÃO DE MELGAÇO: South-East
of Cuiabá, at the feats of the Guimarães Tablelands,
receives the waters of the Mutum river that flows into
the great north Pantanal Bays of Xacororé and Sia Mariana,
flowing further into the Cuiabá river, main affluent
of the Paraguay river. Ideal to explore the water ways.
Pantanal of POCONÉ: South of Cuiabá,
this is a drier area, with internal rivers and marshes,
crossed by the Transpantaneira Park Road, ideal to explore
fields, marshes and forests. |
