Included Activity from Campo Grande in Brazil
Pantanal Experience
In Spanish and Portuguese the word Pantanal (pantano) mean's swamp, but in this case it is a huge wetland in the centre of South America. The Pantanal covers 230,000 sq km's, of which 130,000 sq km's are in Brazil with the remainder being shared between Paraguay and Bolivia. The Brazilian Pantanal is split between two province's; Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, with the latter only being formed in the 1970's from the original Mato Grosso State. It is said that the Pantanal has the largest concentration of fauna in the world but it still comes down to luck for what you will get to see.
From Campo Grande or Bonito you will head out onto a 2 night, 3 day excursion into the largest inland wetland in the world, a land of hearty people and considerable visable wildlife. The trip enters the Pantanal from the Mato Grosso do Sul Province, in the southern part of the Brazillian Pantanal.
Pantanal Included Activities
The trip includes 5 Activities acommpanied by an English speaking guide to explain the things you will see:
Boat Trip - On the boat trip you will look for Black Howler Monkeys, Caiman Crocodiles, Toucans, Macaws and various other birds. The trip will last for approx 2 hours and we will have a guide with you through out to explain the flora and fauna.
Sunset Boat Trip & Wildlife Spotting - Similar to the boat trip but you are on the water to witness the sunset and then go looking for nocturnal animals on the river banks using a strong spotlight. Nightfall brings out different types of animals. Join your guide in search of these critters and hear the sounds of the Pantanal at night.
Piranha Fishing - Using meat as bait you will try your luck at snagging one of these carnivorous fish. Don't worry - the guide will get it off the hook for you and show you the teeth of this notorious fish. You might even get to try it for supper!
