In a nutshell
Must see this ecological treasure trove
cachaseiro Says: Canoeing is a great way to see the Pantanal.You get very close to the caimans that way and you can also observe bird life very well that way.On top of that canoeing is just a very fun activity that rests a stressed out mind very well.
See the Pantanal from a horseback.
cachaseiro Says: Horseback riding is a very nice way to enjoy the nature of the Pantanal.It gives you a real back to the nature feeling riding through flooded areas of the Pantanal while watching the nature and the animals you pass.It´s also a very local way to get around as the Pantanal is...
cachaseiro Says: The south american crocodille called caiman is a non agressive animal so you can get real close to them and watch their daily routines as long as you don't act too foolish.The pantanal is packed with caimans and you come across them all the time.
jitkaceska Says: To the deep Pantanal you can go by carIt is one of the best places in South america to see wildlife, which is drawn to the roadway at all times of the year. Stopping to see wildlife and slowing down for 118 little wooden bridges and meter-wide potholes, it is possible to...
marybellone Says: We used bamboo fishing poles and meat to fish for pirahnas. Some groups actually waded in the water but we didn't. Most people caught a few fish. I only caught one but my friend sadly didn't catch any :( Then they take the fish you catch and they use it for your next meal....
swesn Says: To give some VT-researchers an idea of the itinerary so as to make your travel plans better, here is a write-up of what went on in the 4-day trip I was on. (Hopefully, not much has been changed since 2002.)1st day: Long drive to the camp-site. Arrive on the night of the 1st...
PANTANAL : IN TOUCH WITH FAUNA
swesn Says: The Pantanal is a huge alluvial plain. This area used to be an inland sea. As it started to dry out 65 million years ago, it became a vast lake and now, a periodically flooded plain. As it is surrounded by hill lands, rain flow into the Pantanal and flood the low-lying...
Pousada Santa Teresa: There not really restaurants....
micpil Says: There are not really restaurants on the Pantanal, everything is organized in the lodge where you are staying. But talking about food, the Pousada Santa Teresa beat them all...every day lunch and dinner there were the most amazing dishes, fish and meat, buffet style...really...
marybellone Says: In the Pantanal the only nightlife you have is the nightlife you create. We sat around a fire and had drinks. You are in the middle of the jungle and wetlands so there is nowhere else to go. It's great!
micpil Says: This is simple and you can do it by yourself...but a good guide is all! So you just get on the Transpantaneira and drive with a big light and you look for wildlife. We had the luck of doing a night safari with Marcelo which was really great in spotting animals! We saw...
cachaseiro Says: The brazilian airline TAM connects Campo Grande with the main airports of Brazil.TAM is a very nice and comfortable airline with pretty good legspace and good inflight service.If you plan to travel around Brazil they also have quite good deals on air passes.They have also...
Please no Indiana Jones wanna-bes!
oceania26 Says: Please respect the guides and the environment by not shouting or being rowdy...this scares off the animals and ruins the experience for others. Listen to the guides...don't try and think you're Indiana Jones and go off on your own. From my experience, there were quite a few...
Andreas_Fran Says: There is no reason to get anxious for what to do if you get bitten from a “Piranha” or God knows what! We were so tired during the night that we could not get bothered by the huge flying cockroach! Anyway what could they do more then the hundred ants that one night invaded...
oceania26 Says: For some reason tourist feel the need to take loads of pictures, especially of common or ordinary things or when the guide decides to point at something. You have to remember that they do that because they know tourists want to see stuff, so they will start pointing at every...
Thinking there is malaria in the Pantanal
Carla1973 Says: There is no malaria in the Pantanal! Foreigners may be adviced to take Malaria profilaxe, but really, it's unneccessary. It would do you more harm if you'd take it. So please, save them for a trip to the Amazon. You save more money, if you stop taking them. -
marybellone Says: As little luggage as possible. You don't need much! Bring a bathing suit that you don't mind getting dirty, pants for horsebackriding and to protect from mosquitos at night, flip-slop/sandals to shower in or wear during the jungle trek (you have to be able to easily take...
oceania26 Says: It's better not to bring all your luggage because it's very damp there and everything will become damp in your bag whether you take it out or not. Just bring a small bag that you can carry around during walking treks to carry your water and camera. Good sandals/flip flops...
jitkaceska Says: The clouded, slow-moving water of Rio Claro is prime habitat for piranha.Hanging out in small, loosely organized schools of various sizes, they are not as voracious as most people think. Local children swim in rivers all the time. Their only precaution is not having open...
jitkaceska Says: The best opportunities are in forrested corridors along rivers where troops of howler monkeys can be seen on the move, foraging for buds, leaves, blooms and natural fruits. They move freely among the branches with the help of their prehensile tails that actually act as a...
Access the Pantanal from Cuiaba
agmoose02 Says: Unless you are an avid diver, in which case by all means access the southern Pantanal from Campo Grande, Fly into Cuiaba instead. This area seemed to me to have a greater diversity of activities and ecology. It is a bit easier to find and view land animals in the northern...
