Life in Pantanal



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.
