The spectacular life in Pantanal
Stunning landscapes and lots of species of birds, fish and mammals. These are some of the attractions of Pantanal, one of the world’s most beautiful regions
The dream of any tourist going to Pantanal is to see a jaguar and, if possible, take a photograph - but this is a very rare event. Jaguars live in hiding in the forests. However, many other animals can be seen up close, such as alligators, tapirs (antas), capivaras and otters (ariranhas). Bird spotting is also easy for tourists. Birds such as the macaw (arara), toucan and stalks (tuiuiú), which is the symbol of Pantanal. The beauty of this region is also evident in the rivers, lakes, lagoons, and the great variety of plants, trees and other forms of vegetation. Tourists can see the beauty of the region in a traditional boat from the area, called a “chalana”. Pantanal also has fantastic places to go fishing and horse riding.
Where this ecological paradise is
This lush region covers over 200,000 square kilometers, with twelve cities, and is between the States of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Up until the 1980s, Pantanal was not a very popular tourist destination for Brazilians. The main economic activity in the region is based on fishing and cattle farming. As of the 1990s, Pantanal became more popular with tourists from all over the world.
