Wildlife of the Pantanal By World Journeys
South America's premier wildlife sanctuary
The Pantanal is the largest continuous wetland on the planet, containing elements of the Amazon forest, the Caatinga, the Brazilian Savannah, the Atlantic Rainforest and the Paraguayan Chaco. This fantastic biodiversity includes approximately 698 species of birds, 80 species of mammals, 260 species of fish, and 50 species of reptiles. Unlike the dense foliage found in the Amazon, the open marshes of the Pantanal make it ideal for wildlife observation – from jaguars, anteaters, foxes, jabiru storks, marsh deer, or tapirs. Set amidst this is the Araras Ecolodge, a perfect base from which to explore this remarkable area.
Your accommodation: Araras Ecolodge is a comfortable, self-sustained property built in the traditional ‘pantaneiro’ farm style with 19 ensuite rooms each with hot and cold shower, screened windows, ceiling fan and air-conditioning. Meals are prepared with organic products from the local area. The lodge set on a 2760 ha private reserve has a bar, swimming pool, free wi-fi area, large verandahs with hammocks and three exciting observation towers.
This itinerary can be tailor-made, with the number of days, places visited, and activities varied to suit you.
